Review Zachary's Bistro - Knysna

Great restaurant overlooking the marina. Good selection of seafood, meat and sushi. Slightly more on the pricey side but worth the money. Good selection of beers on tap. We (2 people) were able to walk in and get a table on a Sunday evening in off season even though the place seemed busy.

Food was good, portions a tad on the small side, but bear in mind it is a "upmarket" establishment. Had better and had worse but definitely on my short list of favourites. Went there on recommendation of a friend who lives in Herold Bay. Can recommend them for anyone passing through or on holiday here. Oh and rather make a reservation, I am travelling on my own and almost did not get a table and this was out of season on a Thursday evening.

We wanted to go have lunch in Knysna and were looking for some seafood options. We ordered the seafood platter for 4 and some local wine. Everything about the experience was incredible . Some of the best seafood platters you will find. A must if you are looking for some great seafood in Knysna!

What an experience. They were very busy and booked and still managed to give us a table. The drinks were delicious and not watered down. The decor is tasteful and stylish with a beautiful view over the harbour. But the food! Deliciois does not describe it. The ratatouille and polenta were first class, the Kingklip was fresh and phenomenal. Even as busy as they were, the service was friendly and attentive. The manager even stopped by for a chat about my partner's tattoos. I'd come back to Knysna all the way from GP just to have dinner at Drysock again.

The food was good not the best in Plettenberg the fries was oily and soggy and calamari little bit chewy but the view was amazing with the sunset

If you're looking for a memorable dining experience in Knysna, DryDock Food Co. is the place to be. Located right by the waterfront, this restaurant offers not just a meal but a captivating atmosphere. The friendly service we received added a special touch to our evening. Our waiter was not only knowledgeable but genuinely warm and attentive. As for the food, I opted for the seafood platter and was blown away. Fresh, perfectly cooked seafood made each bite a delight. The presentation was impeccable, adding to the overall experience. DryDock Food Co. is a hidden treasure in Knysna. Whether you're a local or just passing through, it's a must-visit. With its stunning waterfront location, exceptional service, and mouthwatering seafood, it's an experience you won't forget. I highly recommend it.

Brandon and his team are exceptional! I have a shellfish allergy and they were so caring and careful. The pizza was delicious and a great portion size. Others in our group had delicious steak and the catch of the day. All plates were beautifully laid out. The crème brûlée is the best!!!

Good food and a nice vibe by the waterfront. Service is beyond exceptional - every single staff is so friendly, helpful and attentive to their guests. Would go again for sure

Excellent food and great service. Went early so no reservation required. Table overlooking Marina, very pretty and relaxing. I've never had oysters but decided to try them, absolutely delicious. Husband had seared tuna salad, also delicious. Followed by (me) Catch of day with fresh mixed veg and rice, ( husband, Calamari, prawns, chips). 1 bottle of Rose, 1 carafe of Leopards Leap and I Tia Maria. Total, £55.00. Amazing, couldn't fault anything and have booked for tomorrow night.

We loved stopping at this beautiful restaurant in Knysna. We were looking for fresh, great seafood & oysters, and Drydock delivered that and more! The atmosphere is beautiful, and even though there was a queue, it moved very fast to accommodate those waiting. Brendon, the manager, is so kind and helpful. He made sure we were doing well the entire time & he had great wine suggestions. We loved the sushi, Rockefeller oysters, prawns, seafood curry, and hake. You can’t go wrong with this restaurant— very great!!

We had a delicious dinner here. The steaks and veggies were cooked to perfection. Our waitress, Zama was one of the best servers I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. All the wait staff were very well groomed and manicured, and very professional. The location was amazing and our dinner here was the best we had on our holiday. We will be back for sure!

Love this restaurant! Right on the Knysna harbour with a view of all the boats and marina so the location is unbeatable. Incredibly impressed with the quick well trained servers. Even though our server was new she was so attentive and friendly. All the food portions were so large and delicious. The prawns with the butter sauce are a true star and is a must order item. Came out incredibly quickly from the kitchen. We loved it so much we came back with friends the next night! Tip: reserve early or chance having to wait in line for a table. Since I was staying at the Protea, I emailed and they were so accommodating. Pro-tips: - Prokard Explorer member restaurant so they will give you a discount depending on the number of guests eating with you (up to 50%) - corkage: they will allow you to bring your own nice wine to enjoy and charge a small corkage

While you're waiting to board a cruise on your vacation, this is one of the best places to dine

Very very good restaurant with fantastic view on the harbour. Tables inside and outside available, although the outside ones could get more cosy lights around. Otherwise you won't see the great arrangement on your plate ;) Definitely the best calamari tubes salad I have ever had!

Excellent food, excellent service and friendly staff. The setting was amazing, good delicious and the ambiance was great. Stunning Harbour views to enjoy while digging in to the oyster experience and fresh seafood 🐠. We had ample staff around us to assist us and even managers were always checking in and ready to take pics where needed 😊😎. Lovely spot and a must do when in Knysna 👌👌👌

Excellent calamari, best Dark Chocolate Brownie in Knysna! Very friendly staff. Beautiful views. Love the new upstairs dining area revamp. I can't wait to enjoy a fireside meal in winter!
