Insider Dining Tips
- East Head Café Seaside Essentials
- Arrive early for breakfast (before 9am) or late lunch (after 2pm) to snag the coveted outdoor tables with panoramic views of the Knysna Heads.
- Start with their famous pastries or baked goods while deciding on mains — they're made fresh daily and often sell out by mid-morning.
- For seafood options, always ask about the catch of the day — East Head Café sources locally from Knysna's lagoon whenever possible.
- Share a few tapas-style starters among the table rather than going straight to mains — their mezze platters showcase South African flavors beautifully.
- Save room for their legendary carrot cake or lemon meringue pie, perfect with an afternoon coffee while watching boats navigate the Heads.
Insider Tip
Visit on weekdays between 3-5pm for their "Sunset Special" — discounted tapas plates and local craft beers with the same million-dollar view.
