A fantastic restaurant and besides a lovely place to spend your evening at. The owners are just adorable and so passionate about their menu you simply have to leave with a smile. We had kingklip and the signature dish, a 300g beef fillet and both dishes were just great. Outstanding quality and an ap
Popular restaurant in Knysna. Vegetarian Delight is highly recommended. Book a table in advance, a couple days if possible, especially for a weekend evening.
Great place for dinner. Nice hosts and waitrons. Great food and as nearly everbody mentioned: the fillet is great!!! The springrolls and the fish soup is also really good and worth a try. Just go there.
Great little restaurant on Knysna main road. Excellent food. Come hungry, because the portions are big!
Had a great dinner! Fresh ingredients and great service. Loved the steak tartare and wine.
Nice spot for a quiet dinner. We had the veggie pasta and the oven baked fish, both were lovely. The staff were very friendly, offering to order us with a cab after we'd settled the bill. Great value too.
Super hosts! Clean! You ask anything with no problem at all. Lekker gezellig
We had a wonderful meal here. Starters and main for two with beers and a bottle of wine for only R500. Exceptional. Hard working staff and personable owner. Only thing that causes it to lose a star was frosty welcome by 'front of house' at door.
We were lucky enough to get a table as booking is usually essential. We had Babotie as starter it was delicious. We then had the fillet steak as main. It was the best tasting melt in your mouth steak I have ever had. Dessert was a magnificent chocolate cake, which I wouldn't normally have. To die f
Ellen is a superb host. She's very passionate about her food. The food and wine was excellent quality and well priced. We shared a bobotie samosa as a starter. Deeeelish. I had the fish which was superb and hubby had the fillet with pepper mushroom sauce. I'd post a pic but we ate the food before we
Best fillet ever.. But not only! Try the bobotie as a starter. I've had the best meal in South Africa after a two-weeks stay. Very recommended. Best value for money.
Food was very good. Delicious veggie pasta and oven baked fish. However I will reinforce that the front of house was a tad frosty - possibly slightly harassed because they were busy. And they could perhaps do with one additional waiting staff - there were long waits between courses and to get the
Good food. Great help staff. Appropriate pricing. Owner and her assistant/partner may want to take a breath. I was solo so had the chance to watch things function. Lots of moving about, and again, powers-that-be seemed a bit uptight. Breathe a bit. It all was flowing well from my perspective.
Divine. Consistent. Lovely wines. Wholesome good quality everything. Great staff. Pricey in comparison to most restaurants in Knysna, although , personally i think it's well worth it.
Outstanding service and delicious food. The staff and owner were very engaging and friendly, taking the effort to explain each item in the menu. The bobotie spring roll starter was fantastic!
The Olive Tree is a local experience at its best. Not only did I have the best steak/ beef fillet in my life (!), even more outstanding was the personal touch. The room itself looks like eating at some friends kitchen and the super friendly owner make you feel just like a friend. The menu is very we
This place was recommended as "one of the best things ever on the planet", so expectations were high. Although it was good - it wasn't amazing. I had steak - good, but cooked too long (asked for medium rare). It was all good and fine, but nothing stood really out.
