The lagoon side restaurant is situated on the water's edge in the picturesque town of Knysna, Garden Route, South Africa.

From intimate lunches and dinners to large groups and tour groups, we have two separate floors to accommodate your every need.

We offer a mouth-watering array of the freshest seafood, tempting salads, sushi, fusion cuisine and sinful desserts. Complementing this, you'll find a range of the finest local and imported wines, beers and spirits.

Take your time over a cocktail as you watch the sun sink slowly over Knysna's tranquil lagoon.

    A phenomenal waitress, Anita. Didn't make any notes and remembered our order perfectly. Was attentive and professional, but friendly too.

    Drydock has always been known for good fish and chips. On Saturday evening, 3 of us ordered either deep fried or grilled hake and chips. All 3 of us were served the smallest thinnest tail end pieces of hake which was embarressing, since I suggested Drydock based on experience. It seems the quality and portions have taken a serious dip since 2025. My partner had the chicken and chips and loved his meal.
