The Fat Fish – George

An oasis of calm in the heart of the George city centre, The Fat Fish, offers the exact same delightfully original menu as its sister restaurant in Plettenberg Bay. Enjoy the finest, sustainably caught, seafood, the freshest sushi as well as a wide range of other innovative dishes in a gem of a location.
The lush, beautifully landscaped garden complete with water features, outdoor BBQ and children’s play area, offers true respite on a hot Garden Route summers day. While the stylish, contemporary interior features a series of more intimate dining spaces on varying levels, with no less than three fireplaces, to cosy up to in the colder wet winter months. In addition, The Fontus, Special Events Room, is available for private celebrations and often plays host to carefully curated food and wine pairings.

The menu is predominantly seafood-based and perfectly complemented by an award-winning wine list, classic cocktails and extensive craft gin selection. Be sure to look out for their regular “From the Fire” al fresco feasts and Paella Specials out in the garden when the weather allows.

Having worked internationally for a number of years, chef patron Christo Nortier has returned home. As passionate as he is experienced, Christo is determined to offer Garden Route diners a true culinary experience and an opportunity to venture away from the conventional in beautiful surrounds.

    Food was really good but the portions are very small for the price you pay. Mains more like a large starter. I actually left the restaurant hungry. I wasnt perpared to order another meal at those prices.

    Last night we had our family dinner here and everyone enjoyed their meals and drinks. Kudus to the cocktail bartender and our service ambassador, Willem.

    From starters to desert was exceptional! There is a nice little play area for the kids to keep themselves busy and plenty of tables close by to keep a watchfull eye. Nice place for a romantic date or to take the family! We also received great service - never had to look around to get someone’s attention!
