A melting pot of cultures created an alluring food scene that brings people, food and experiences together.
Formal and informal, upmarket dining and community-based establishments – there is something for everyone. You can still have authentic Italian pizza served by the descendants of the group of Italian silk spinners who came to farm silkworms in Knysna in 1881.
The Knysna culinary scene features traditional dishes ranging from Xhosa cuisine – Chicken stew and pap or Mnushu (Samp and Beans) – to Cape Malay Cuisine, prepared according to the Halaal tradition. All to be enjoyed while exploring Knysna through an insightful, colourful township tour.
