Indulge in a experience that captures the essence of coastal charm at The Plettenberg. Nestled by the sea, we offer the perfect blend of breathtaking views and culinary creativity, whether you choose to dine indoors or al fresco on our patio.
Begin your meal with the rich flavors of bouillabaisse, brimming with the freshest local seafood, or the delicate steamed black mussels infused with ginger, lemongrass, and coconut cream. Main courses vary from fragrant butter chicken curry, succulent free-range beef fillet with béarnaise sauce to the grilled catch of the bay with lemon-butter sauce.

Vegetarians can indulge in handmade linguine with creamy mushrooms and garden peas or the comforting potato gnocchi with spiced butternut purée.

Flavours of the ocean, beauty of the bay.

    We ordered a seafood platter one portion to share. Although quite sufficient in quantity for us, was really just OK, and not "Wow" as expected. The prawns were over cooked which put a sort of soft sludge on the outside, but were relatively firm on the inside. Seafood platter in terms of taste and quality overpriced. We ordered the starter of squid heads, which was just crumbed calamari. I ordered an Irish coffee which was cold when brought to me and had to go back to the kitchen to be warned and when it came back obviously all the cream was mixed in. The service was very good and the ambience very nice, and as regards food quality I can only speak to the seafood platter, shock was a little underwhelming. I'm sure we should have ordered the steak instead.

    Dear Steve Deetles, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback with us. We truly appreciate your honesty, as it helps us to continually improve our offerings and service. I am sincerely sorry to hear that your experience with our seafood platter and Irish coffee did not meet your expectations. Please accept my apologies for the overcooked prawns and the confusion regarding the squid heads starter. I also regret that your Irish coffee was not served at the correct temperature initially. This is certainly not the standard we strive for at The Plettenberg. On a positive note, I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed our service and ambience. Your kind words in this regard mean a lot to us. We value your comments greatly, and I will be sharing them with our kitchen team so we can address these issues directly. Should you choose to visit us again, please do let me know personally—I would love the opportunity to ensure you have a more memorable dining experience, perhaps with one of our steaks or another recommendation from our menu. Thank you once again for bringing these matters to my attention. Warm regards, Cletous Mazarura The Plettenberg TEAM,
