  • 1. Cornuti

    $$

    The blue and white tiles on the facade of this popular, casual Italian eatery—a favorite with locals that's usually pretty full—give the place a beach-house feel. Try the pastas or the thin-crust wood-fired pizzas; the potato pizza is so much tastier than it sounds. Salads, seafood, and steaks round out the menu. In summer, get here early to get a seat on the veranda.

  • 2. Enrico's Ristorante

    $$$

    The chef always makes an effort to come out of the kitchen to greet patrons at this popular Italian eatery perched above the rocks on Keurboom Beach. The atmosphere is lively and loud and there’s usually a big crowd on weekends and during holidays. Head to the terrace, grab a table under a shady umbrella, and gaze out at the Robberg Peninsula. Enrico also runs fishing trips, so you could even catch your own fish of the day.

    296 Main St., Plettenberg Bay, Western Cape, 6600, South Africa
    044-535–9818

    Known For

    • Authentic tiramisu
    • Area's best Italian fare
    • You can't beat the location

  • 3. Ski Boat Club

    $$

    Fishing boat crews, ski boat skippers, and other folks who are in the know frequent this casual eatery located right on the beach. Expect a bit of a wait, but it's worth it if you're looking for a great deal. Everything is fresh and well-prepared, but not too fancy. There's also the usual burgers and toasted sandwiches. Many locals can reliably be tracked down to the popular bar on weekday afternoons, especially if there is a rugby or cricket match on TV.

    Central Beach, Plettenberg Bay, Western Cape, 6600, South Africa
    044-533–4147

    Known For

    • Great views of the ocean
    • Lively atmosphere
    • Full English breakfast

    Restaurant Details

    Rate Includes: No dinner, Reservations not accepted
  • 4. The Fat Fish

    $$$

    This place is favorite with both locals and visitors, and you’ll realize why the minute you tuck into some of the freshest, tastiest food in Plett. The super-friendly staff will talk you through the seafood-heavy menu, but you can’t go wrong with the fish-and-chips. The dining room has a stylish blue-and-white tiled floor, but you'll probably head to the terrace to take in the views the Beacon Isle Peninsula. Although you can pop in without a reservation, don't risk it on a weekend. 

    Hopwood St., Plettenberg Bay, Western Cape, 6600, South Africa
    044-533–4740

    Known For

    • Delicious seafood
    • Bustling location
    • Great views of the ocean
