OUR STORY

At home on
the Waterfront.

O Pescador has been part of Knysna’s restaurant story since 1989. We’re a family-run restaurant with South African-Portuguese roots and a simple approach: honest food, familiar flavours and thoughtful preparation.

Our menu brings together fresh seafood, prawns, matured meats, chicken and homemade sauces. There’s a little Portuguese tradition in every visit, whether you’re settling in for lunch or joining us for dinner.

Upstairs at the Knysna Waterfront, we look out over the lagoon. Come for a favourite dish, bring someone along, and make yourself at home.
