You eat at 34 Degrees South on the Knysna waterfront, where the kitchen serves seafood, sushi, and globally inspired dishes from breakfast through dinner. The restaurant is known for its oysters — you can try the oyster shucking experience, which includes different varieties of Knysna oysters. The menu also covers line fish, prawns, and dishes like spicy chicken stir fry, with a sushi counter for those who prefer it raw.

The place doubles as a deli and wine shop, so you can take home ready-made meals or browse South African wines. The building sits at the water’s edge, with some tables outside for views of the harbour. Inside, the space is busy and high-ceilinged, with a fish tank adding to the maritime theme.

The oyster experience lasts forty to sixty minutes and teaches you to shuck while tasting different types. The restaurant is family-friendly, with options like spaghetti for children, and the service is noted for being efficient and warm. Knysna’s working harbour is part of the view, and the trains stopping nearby make it accessible without hunting for parking.
