Emily Moon River Lodge

Moon over Plettenberg Bay

Last week we focused on the Wetcliff and its spectacular view over Jozi. This week we pay tribute to another restaurant with a spectacular view. Add to this great tasting food and a good selection of wines to compliment the serene and tranquil ambience, unique and interesting décor and a completely chilled atmosphere and you’ve got a waiting list…

Emily's Restaurant and Sundowner Deck, found at the Emily Moon River Lodge on the outskirts of Plettenberg Bay in the Western Cape has created a good reputation, based on these attributes. In season, it’s almost impossible to find a table without booking days in advance, all for good reason. For a lighter meal, their prego rolls are really tasty, accompanied by a refreshing salad and thin fries. Also try the peri-peri chicken livers. Although there are always additions to the menu, some other great dishes we’ve tried include the filet and the lamb. In keeping with tradition, we finished off with a yummy desert & a good espresso.

Hint: It’s better to dine here out of season. Less people and a more chilled atmosphere to enjoy a few more bottles of Haute Cabriere by the pool…

Until we eat again,

Your Taste Buds,

Dimitrion
