The Fat Fish Restaurant

The Fat Fish Restaurants, located in Plettenberg Bay and George on South Africa's Garden Route, specialize in sustainably sourced seafood, sushi platters, tapas, and fresh, innovative dishes. In Plettenberg Bay, the venue sits off Central Beach with panoramic views of the river estuary, sea, and Tsitsikamma Mountains, featuring an outdoor Sushi Bar. In George, the city-center spot offers lush gardens, water features, and a state-of-the-art outdoor BBQ area for alfresco dining. Both locations emphasize a stylish, contemporary ambiance that feels like an oasis of calm, with a focus on shareable tapas and a curated wine list from South African estates. Operating with generators for uninterrupted service, they host events like Paella Nights and "Off The Fire" feasts in George's Fontus Room for private functions or corporate gatherings. Just a 6-hour drive from Cape Town, it's ideal for relaxed meals amid the Garden Route's coastal beauty in November 2025's mild autumn weather (18-22°C), when whale spotting adds vibrancy—pair with a Tsitsikamma hike or a stay at Beacon Island Resort.
