Pembreys Bistro in Knysna, Garden Route

About Pembreys Bistro

Pembreys in Knysna stands out as an exceptional restaurant, where the menu is crafted by a passionate, trained chef and owner. Drawing on European influences and the rich traditions of French cuisine, the emphasis is placed on flavor, with a particular focus on expertly prepared sauces. The menu is updated daily, reflecting the freshest local produce available, including ingredients grown in their own garden, such as fragrant herbs.

A look at their sample menu reveals a thoughtfully curated selection that highlights these diverse influences. The antipasti buffet is a delightful introduction, featuring dishes like griddled asparagus, pan-fried baby calamari, prawns, lime and fennel duck parfait, toasted lamb's brains, caper and herb flower butter, and spicy meatballs.

The addition of fresh pasta, made in-house daily, adds another exceptional element to the dining experience. Tagliatelle and ravioli are paired with a variety of toppings, including a savory mushroom and walnut sauce. The main courses are a true reflection of the restaurant's commitment to excellence, offering grilled sole, roast duck leg confit, braised oxtail, slow-roasted Karoo lamb shank, and grilled sirloin steak with café de Paris butter, each dish more tantalizing than the last.

Pembreys is also renowned for its desserts, which are rumored to be some of the best around. Standout options include their strawberry Eton mess—an intriguing rarity on South African menus—chocolate mousse cake, Amarula crème brûlée, and a refreshing selection of sorbets.
