The independent, authentic guide to the restaurants of South Africa
JJ’s, Plettenberg Bay
What a curious and curiously charming place. In the waterfront, JJ’s is styled for the tourist and even advertises traditional African singing towards the end of the evening, when they haul the staff out to perform. Sounds dubious? Well, JJ’s have a fantastic knack of making you enjoy your evening through great skills at old-fashioned hosting. The menu is pretty old-school too, with grills, seafood platters and venison for curious visitors making up the bulk of it. Cheese sauces and biltong dust is a frequent garnish here, and while quality is good, the prices are high (again suggesting foundations in tourism). The wine interest is clear from the hundreds of bottles that adorn the ceiling and the good – and very personal – wine list. JJ even weighs in with his star score next to the John Platter score. This really is a personal and colourful option in the anodyne selection that the Knysna Waterfront offers.
