The only Beachfront restaurant in Knysna.

Butterfly Blu is perched on a dune top with beautiful panoramic sea views making it one of the most idyllic restaurants in Knysna with beautiful food, an outdoor/indoor deck, lounge areas, cocktail bar, and a contemporary interior. Directly below the restaurant is beautiful stretch of white sandy beach and rolling dunes covered with lush fynbos for which this part of the world is so famous. The setting is perfect to enjoy a rosy sunset after a stroll on the beach.

Our philosophy is simple – to make your visit and dining experience as pleasurable as possible. We are passionate about what we do! With a commitment to sourcing the freshest produce seasonally, our chefs utilise locally-sourced ingredients across all areas of the continually evolving contemporary menu, to deliver a unique dining experience. Everything is made fresh in house under the watchful eye of chefs who have honed their skills for more than 25 years in various inspirational kitchens in Northern Europe. Suppliers are carefully selected based on their beliefs in sourcing/rearing, produce/animals, in a time-honoured natural way, free from chemicals and unnatural additives.

    Big mistake to order sushi, even though it was highly recommended by the manager. Great presentation of the sushi, great construction on the sushi, dreadful rice. I’ve never been known to leave sushi on my plate until now … the only comment from the waiter was “but the sushimi was good, right?” Good enough starter, dreadful mani meal

    It's our favorite place for dinner, the food is always brilliant! We've never had a bad meal there. A good lamb or prawn curry would be a good addition to the menu in winter. The staff and management are friendly and accommodating. To anyone visiting Brenton I'd highly recommend having a meal here, not only for the views but for a scrumptious meal.

    Wonderful experience with beautiful views! The Ocean Dining Room is definitely my favourite place! The food was to die for and great value for what we got. We had the Sunday Roast 3 course meal and a bottle of wine, and it was definitely worth the money spent! The fireplace was going and there were heaters placed at strategic points making it a very cosy environment on a cold, rainy winter's day. Thank you for giving us a wonderful experience!
