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.

    We were very disappointed to find out you don't serve pizza anymore. We had an excellent waiter, but waited 45 minutes for our food. We had various dishes which were all good, except the marrow bones which did not even have a teaspoon full of marrow. The hummus was a bit watery, but chicken liver pate was outstanding. Burger was delicious, ordered well done but it was a bit undercooked inside. Calamari and prawns were excellent. The Manageress was really a super friendly and very professional hostess. She is an asset to your company. Unfortunately didn't get her name.
