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.

    This is the first time we are not giving you 5 stars. You have started using sub quality chips with a cheap taste salt. The young table clearer was very attentive. The waiter only attended to us when specifically called by us. Neither he nor a manager showed any interest in us all evening - most unusual for Butterfly Blu. 🦋 I hope you are not losing your cutting edge......

    Excellent but chips a little dry & veg curry needed more sauce & less rice. No need for waitron ( who was v pleasant snd efficient) to check quite so often if we are ok - this tended to interupt flow if our conversation.
