We have just had the most wonderful Sunday lunch at The Oak Leaf. It was the best roast we’ve had outside of the U.K.! The beef was perfect the gravy deliciously tasty and the veg cooked to perfection. The staff are so friendly and welcoming we always drop in a couple of times when we are visiting Knysna

Carol, thank you so much for the lovely review! We had feedback just the other day that our Sunday Roast is the best in the Country, so your sentiments are echoed by others. We hope to see you again soon!

Nice country setting with a few outside & inside seating options. We went for breakfast at opening time & the main parking was already full of expectant guests. My double-shot Cortado was excellent & my wife enjoyed her cappuccino. We enjoyed the breakfast which had several options. Ambience was great and the staff were attentive.

Staying at Belvidere Manor Hotel we ate at the on-site pub the first nigh just for convenience, but it was not a pleasant experience…but driving out of the estate the next day we spotted the lovely Oak Leaf - and what a find it was! A beautiful little restaurant with warm, friendly, efficient service and fabulous food. We sat outside surrounded by flowers on a warm evening and it was simply lovely. Great food, excellent service, lovely ambience, good value…no wonder virtually everyone gives this place five stars!

Me and my my partner both locals wanted to have lunch at Oak Leaf today. It it’s a nice venue and we had a nice table. Unfortunately, everything was exceptionally slow. We ordered two simple dishes at 1157am and food arrived at 1255pm. Twenty minutes earlier one of the staff told us that the food would arrive shortly. We were kept waiting and waiting and waiting. When the food finally arrived we sent it back as we were no longer in the mood. We gave our feedback to the owner and she pretended that it was perfectly normal this time of the year to wait for a meal for an hour. We don’t think so. We left and went to a different restaurant where the service was far better. Owner seems not to care. For this place to last, things really have to change !

Hi there, We are terribly sorry to hear that your experience with us wasn't a positive one. This day was by far the busiest day in the history of the Café and we do apologize for any inconvenience. Please note that the complexity of the dish does not affect the waiting period of meals, it's a simple line of order. As locals, we are sure you understand the business of the festive season and the impact it has on all restaurants in Knysna. We continue to try our very best and work fast as possible to try ensure everyone who joins us has a pleasant experience.

We have visited Oak Leaf cafe twice on our holiday as we were so impressed the first time just had to return! The Cortado coffee is superb as are their almond croisssants which are served warm. The setting is beautiful in well cared for gardens. On each visit we were served by Jade who was extremely friendly and pleasant. We will return again before the end of our holiday as the breakfast menu is very tempting.

Great food, but a bit pricey. Service was extremely slow. Lady inside seemed annoyed when we asked for service. It took a long time before someone came and took our orders and even longer for simple toasted sandwiches to arrive.

We tried the Oak Leaf Cafe because it was pet friendly. We were seated outside and the owner (sorry, did not ask her name) was very friendly and inviting. Clearly a doggie person as she made a fuss of our German Shepherd puppy Max, even taking his picture for their Facebook page. We both had salads, steak & chicken which were excellent plus we ordered a doggie dish from the menu!! That was well received by Max. Excellent coffee cake to finish off a very nice visit. Will be back when next in Knysna. Thank you from John & Vicky Goslin, Durbanville, Cape Town.

I arrived half an hour before my lunch partner, and was ignored the whole time. Even after my partner arrived, we were ignored, and eventually had to stand up to attract the attention of the waiter. The avocado was not in stock as it "was out of season"??? The burger was served with chips on the side, no garnish etc. My partner removed the top half of the bun, only to find a toothpick hidden in the burger patty. Very dangerous if he had chosen to pick up the whole burger and eat it! Food was not impressive at all, and service was sadly lacking. We were not offered any desserts, coffee or cakes after the meal, so paid and left. It is a lovely location, peaceful, and very pretty, but they need to up their game

I have now visited this cafe and deli a couple of times for breakfast and lunch. The consistent quality meals and the great delicatessen and bakery makes this a gem not to be missed. The service is great and although a bit more pricey on certain items the quality is always exceptional. Favourite place to go back to!

Surpassed all expectations !!!!!! From Lee-Ann’s knowledgeable enthusiasm to the expansive menu catering for everyone’s needs. As a vegan and vegetarian family every whim and want was beyond what we could have hoped for. Friendly professional and knowledgeable staff added to the culinary delights and magnificent setting. No amount of praise can do Oak leaf justice and this place has (a beautiful) soul!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Loved our short time at this beautiful eatery. Sat outside on a very hot day in a wonderfully cool shaded area. Lovely fresh healthy and taste food. Ariel went beyond call of duty to help with my mobility problems to make me comfortable. Love that they have a separate menu for four legged friends. Highly recommended.

One of my favourite places in Knysna. The venue is stylish and upmarket without being pretentious. The owner and staff are always friendly, helpful and make everyone welcome. Food quality is awesome and there are even choices for the cyclists.

Popped in here on the recommendation of a friend on our way from Knysna to George Airport - so glad we found this. Food was great, service was brilliant, and setting was lovely. A real (hidden) gem - definitely go there if in the area

We had Breakfast at my fathers birthday. Excellent food for a reasonable price. Very nice setting inside and outside. The staff was very friendly, and did everything to make us feel good. I am a real coffee expert and can say that the coffee served here is one of the best I ever had.
