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.

    Courteous service, thinking ahead about what we would need. My sister held her small intimate wedding reception there. The staff thought of everything , decorated the table and served exceptional meals on time attending to each individual person's needs. Thanks for a wonderful experience. Butterfly Blu is highly recommended.

    Here’s a polished, warm, and marketing-ready version that still feels genuine and appreciative: --- We hosted our annual KILT Excellence Awards at Butterfly Blu last night, welcoming 100 guests for an awards ceremony with live music — and the experience was outstanding. Our guests raved about the food, with generous portions and a variety that catered beautifully to all tastes. The service was exceptional throughout the evening: attentive, seamless, and delivered with real professionalism. Ciara led her team with calm confidence, and nothing was ever too much trouble. Along with the spectacular setting, the combination of excellent food and superb service made the evening truly memorable. We can wholeheartedly recommend Butterfly Blu for any occasion, and we look forward to returning next year.
