34 South — Seafood / Mediterranean / Deli, Knysna
34 Degrees South (34 South) is ranked highly with 4.3 stars and over 4,181 reviews, offering seafood and Mediterranean cuisine at the Knysna Quays waterfront. The concept combines a grocery store, bakery, deli, fish market, gift shop, wine boutique, and sushi bar — where visitors can savour fresh Knysna oysters — into one of the most complete food experiences available anywhere in South Africa.
The oysters are the primary argument: fresh Knysna oysters from the lagoon served at tables with views of the same water that produced them. The prawns, the sushi, and the broader seafood menu all reflect the same commitment to freshness that a fish market-restaurant hybrid naturally demands.
The wine boutique provides access to the Western Cape’s finest producers, and the breadth of the selection makes 34 South a destination for serious wine drinking alongside the seafood.
34 South is the Knysna institution: 4,000+ reviews confirming consistent quality, the waterfront location providing the setting, and the oysters providing the cultural argument for why Knysna’s reputation extends well beyond the Garden Route.
