Ile De Pain - Island of Bread
Ile De Pain - Island of Bread is something of an oasis, even amongst the plethora of good restaurants in Knysna. When Liezie and Markus together with a small, young team opened the doors of Ile De Pain in 2002, they tapped into something so treasured by the collective consciousness, that the appeal was indeed universal.
They build a wood fired oven and baked large, dark loaves of Companio bread for the nearby farmers market. Soon after, Liezie put a small menu together to complement the bread incorporating her international experience and love of local ingredients. Today the bread “complements” Liezie’s food and breakfast and lunch take centre stage at Ile De Pain.
Mon Petit Pain
Mon Petit Pain’s emphasis is on accessible food made from the same goodness, high quality ingredients and attention to detail that Ile De Pain is known for, with efficient and friendly service, in a relaxed and casual atmosphere. Breakfast can also be taken on the go which provides a great option of having breakfast en route to the airport or a day activity.
Caffe Mario
Caffe Mario is situated in the popular Knysna Waterfront and is considered by many to be the most popular restaurant in town. Enjoy a hearty breakfast in this traditional Italian owned café situated on the water’s edge.
