EatFish dishes are the obvious choice in an oceanside town, and that’s where two standouts come into the picture. Fat Fish, situated across the road from the central beach, has an extensive menu, but the focus is on fish and seafood, from sushi and poke bowls to the signature Parmesan-crumbed chilli kingklip. Enrico’s, another local institution, offers a celebratory atmosphere, stunning sea views from its large terrace, and hearty Italian-inspired favourites like line fish in olive oil, white wine, parsley, and garlic.For a meal or snack in a bright and airy modern barn with pretty outdoor tables, an excellent menu, and an on-site bakery, try Nice Neighbour. Created and run by a talented husbandand-wife team, it’s beautifully located between the indigenous gardens and stylish stores of Old Nick Village, and the food is consistently terrific.Head out of town and into the polo fields and vineyards of the Crags to find Kay & Monty Vineyards, a 220-hectare wine farm, polo estate and wedding venue. Tastings are offered in a converted greenhouse — a lovely way to explore the award-winning Sauvignon Blanc, MCC rosé and red blend. And the glass-walled restaurant and adjoining terrace are made for long, lazy lunches of sharing boards, filled flatbreads and salads.DrinkThe Plett Wine Route is a true delight and a great day trip. South Africa’s youngest and smallest Wine of Origin region, with just 18 estates, punches way above its weight regarding prestigious local and international awards, particularly for white wines and Méthode Cap Classiques. Take the scenic drive between Harkerville and The Crags to explore the area’s restaurants and tasting rooms.If you’re staying in town, Nibbles at the Old Rectory Hotel & Spa combines historic features like original beams and stonework with inviting decor and an excellent wine and drinks list.The Old RectoryNice NeighbourMungo MillS T E P I N T O F U R N I T U R E H E A V E N . . .GEORGE | 78 HOPE STREET - KNYSNA | SHOP 6 BROADWALK CENTRE, 52 WATERFRONT DRTEL: 044 873 0381 - WEBSITE: www.velvethomeandliving.com
