Review Nguni Restaurant - Plettenberg Bay

We made reservations here for our first night in Plettenberg. We were all very impressed with the service, the atmosphere, and the food. The service though was really what set Nguni apart. It is likely the best service we have received in over a year in South Africa, truly spectacular.

One of the best dinner we had in SA so far. The Springbok paired with the Babylonstoren Babel was the best suggestion by our sweet waitress. My wife ordered the ostrich fillet which was also very delicious! If in Plett you can’t miss out on this special place!

Nguni Restaurant in Plettenberg Bay is a delightful culinary spot, with a unique approach to South African cuisine. Nestled in a charming, artfully decorated setting, the restaurant offers a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Nguni's menu is a tribute to local flavors, focusing on traditions. The presentation of food is simple and no-nonsense, complementing the overall rustic yet local vibe of the place. For dessert I strongly recommend the typical South African dessert, with Amarula, absolutely fantastic! Service is warm and attentive, adding a personal touch to the dining experience. Pricing is very reasonable, high value for money. For those looking to savor the essence of South African culinary traditions in a relaxed and home-like environment, Nguni is a top choice in Plettenberg Bay.

What a lovely dinner. We were greeted by a friendly and welcoming Robert. The restaurant itself has such a cozy and unique charm. Our waiter Stuart was wonderful and attentive and very good with children. The food was incredible and the service was great.

Lovely restaurant with indoor seating and an outdoor undercover patio. First time trying Springbok! Staff were very friendly (thank you Robert!) and food was delicious.

Superb food and excellent service from Robert. Good vegetarian choices, and an excellent wine list. We hope to come back someday!

Nice backyard restaurant serving lots of local game and traditional dishes mixed with their interpretation of European classics. Very nice and authentic service. Lots of Germans around when we've been there.

Amazing steak Springbok and fish we really enjoy it and recommend

Excellent food and great atmosphere. Unfortunately, the waitress charged twice for a glass of Brandy she brought with ice despite ordering it neat. An unfortunate turn of events since otherwise the service has been impeccable.

Outstanding and superb - don’t miss if you are in Plett 👋👏💪
