The Fat Fish – Plettenberg Bay

Enjoy the finest, sustainably sourced seafood available, platters of delicate sushi and a variety of innovative contemporary dishes within a stone’s throw of the sea in Plettenberg Bay. All perfectly complemented by an award-winning wine list, classic cocktails and extensive craft gin selection.

The dramatic all-teal contemporary interior affords perfect views of the ocean and the famous Beacon Isle Hotel, while the large open terrace and outdoor Sushi Bar ensure the ultimate venue for al fresco dining on a perfect Plett day.

Open for lunch and dinner, The Fat Fish is a perennial favourite with locals and holidaymakers alike, valued for its exacting standards of friendly, knowledgeable service, quality seafood and some of the finest sushi and wine on the Garden Route.

    The yellowtail linefish was dry and flavourless I always eat at this restaurant when visiting Plettenberg Bay , but won’t do so again. The access stairs are steep and unsuitable for elderly people
