Zinzi Restaurant sits on Hunter’s Estate in Plettenberg Bay, surrounded by forest. The menu draws on African and global flavours, with seasonal dishes made from local produce. The dining room is designed with natural materials — stone masonry, raw plaster, and custom-made furniture — and the space seats up to sixty people indoors, with deck and lawn seating outside.

The kitchen is led by a head chef who emphasises fresh ingredients and seasonal changes. Dishes are designed for sharing, with meze platters served on low tables and larger courses on antique tables. The wine cellar focuses on South African wines, including selections from coastal and inland regions.

The restaurant also hosts events, with set menus tailored to different budgets. The forest setting and outdoor seating make it a flexible venue for celebrations.

The forest around the estate is the reason the restaurant is here — the building was designed to sit lightly in the landscape, with natural materials that echo the surroundings.
