Had the most incredible pizza!! If youre in town you have to try try the La Jacqueline pizza and ask them to add Avos to it!!... You can thank me later. Honestly Ive been so impressed with Knysnas food 🀀, but this was just next level! They even brought the pizza to our car because my fiancé forgot her mask at home. Will be coming again for sure!

Great pizza place, the nicest place in Knysna we know of!I really like that you can effectively make your own pizza on top of a normal margarita.If youre craving sweets after the pizza, definitely go for the homemade ice cream. Its delicious, and apparently, the flavours are different each day!Will definitely go here again when we visit SA!

Deserts were all cold. Can see they pre make everything and keep it in a fridge. Pizza was amazing. Only 2 servers available for the night and it was busy so survive was slow.

The best pizza in town! This time I took it one step further and tried the cheesecake which I had with a cappucino - delicious! Its also very close to the Knysna Waterfront so after ones meal, one can wander down to there for a bit of shopping or to sit next to the water.

Review β„–19

We ordered pasta, spaghetti bolognese and the pollo pesto. Both were very bland and basic. The pesto pasta was edible but the bolognese was bitter and boring. Overpriced in our opinion. The service was average. Maybe there pizzas taste better??

Food was excellent but had a terrible experience with condescending customers who openly laughed and pointed at my partner when she dropped her fork. Shortly after, the manager asked them if they were fine without acknowledging us.

Review β„–33

There is not much to say about Chatters, except that they have the best pizzas in town. Really very very good.This family run business is one street block away from the Waterfront located on the corner of Gordon- and Grey Street. A visit is highly recommended. It has a inside and outside area and also prepare take aways.A wheelchair might have difficulty to move around, especially if the person using the wheelchair needs to go to the bathroom. Keep that in mind, but the pizzas are so good that, that should not stop the person in the wheelchair to go. The owners are very helpful and some plan will be concoct.There are plenty off premises parking around the restaurant. Not much of a view, since they are located on a street corner.The restaurant has a good feel and pleasant atmosphere, but not quiet the place to pop the question.

Review β„–37

Great spot for pizza - toppings were generous with prices being fairly reasonable. We had the Popeye and Hawaiian and found both pizzas to be very delicious. Pasta here was a little bland, needed to add a lot of salt to make it taste decent. We ended the night off with a capuccino and waffles which we enjoyed very much.

Best pizza in town. Fresh, full flavoured and reasonably priced. In season its recommended to book. You can do takeaways but they dont deliver. The bases are thin and crispy and the toppings and generous with amazing flavour combinations. Definitely the best pizza in town.

What a brilliant little find in the heart of Knysna. Well done to Lance for looking after us and making us laugh so much. The food was outstanding, as was the homemade ice-cream which is a must! On my next trip to South Africa, you guys will be our first stop... what a great restaurant!

The restaurant is pleasant. Staff are friendly and helpful. I had a burger at a Pizza place so its my own fault. Burger was not great but they are known for their Pizza with a beautiful Pizza oven.Menu is well priced and local friendly. Definitely worth a visit as long as you go for the Pizza.

Excellent privately owned casual dining pasta and pizza joint. Great atmosphere and lots of locals - doesnt rely on tourists passing through. And, unlike most places, the chef even helped me with a low-carb meal. Highly recommended!!! Mike - a swallow.

Chatters was recommended before we left Cape Town. We looked forward to our dining experience the entire trip up to Knysna and loved the entire experience from friendly staff, relaxed ambiance, menu selection and wine menu notes for food pairing purposes.My only tip to the owners are to look at small seating cushions as the wooden seats may become uncomfortable for patrons visiting for longer periods.

Review β„–51

Nice atmosphere and friendly service. Pizzas are tasty and oven baked (like it should be). Quiet a wide variety of interesting pizzas to chose from as well or you can chose to build your own pizza. It works out more or less the same as a normal pizza if you do this (3-4 ingredients). They offer gluten-free options for a small extra fee.

Review β„–63

Chatters successfully fed 3 hungry vegans a full spread of the most delicious Italian food. The owner, her husband and even her father made us feel right at home and made sure every need was met including going out of their way to supply an abundance of perfectly ripe avo. It was a very very busy day and everything ran like clockwork. Please do yourself a favour and visit this place, it is the perfect example of how a restaurant should be run as well and the food is delicious. I can only hope that next time they will have vegan cheese available for their pizza πŸ•!

We come to Knysna quite offen and eat out most of the time. Chatters Bistro is allways busy with a good vibe no matter what time of the year. We are always welcomed in a friendly manner and the excellent service matches any meal on the menu. They have an extremely large selection of wines that you can choose from and enjoy at your leisure. Definitely an eating

Pizza ParadiseMy wife and I spent 5 nights in Knysna and it was great to find Chatters as its more that just a Pizza place. Wafer thin pizza base with some interesting toppings, I went for Eddie’s Seafood Pizza and it was great (and massive). Wonderful Alfresco dining and very attentive waiting staff made the whole experience very memorable. - Thank you Clare & Rob.
