It is two years since we were last here and everything is still just as wonderful. Best view in the place and the best food too. Long may it last.

We've been to the East Head Café for breakfast a few times. The wait is long, but definitely worth it! The views are amazing and the food and service is good!

Amazing location with great views of the ocean and Knysna Heads from inside and outside the restaurant. Great service. Food was ok but not great. Too many fried options; would be nice to have more grilled / fresh seafood options.
