Exceeds expectations. The food was delicious, A+ on everything we eat, staff attentive and helpful with suggestions on what to order.And the location, ambiance and views from the deck dining area is fantastic.Highly recommend if you are visiting Plett and looking for a real culinary experience.

Warm welcoming, excellent service, fantastic fish and chips, overall great experience. Oh and the sea view is also a fantastic bonus. Will highly recommend. Both the George and Plett restaurants are just amazing!!!!!!

I forgot take photos of the meals, but they were well presented. I am not a fish connoisseur, so I also relied on the 6 others with me for this review. They all rated the fish as amazing, with one saying the best fish they have ever had. I myself found the soft texture a little “too soft”. Also there are no photos as we had a bit of a wait, but it seemed worth the meal. Definitely worth trying and judging for yourself. It is a very nice atmosphere.

Will definitely be returning!Fast service, beautiful views and amazingly tasty and well-presented food. Considering how beautiful the restaurant was, I was shocked at how affordable it all was. 10/10 :)

Recommended place to eat at Plettenberg!We enjoyed a lot the nice service and the good food. The grilled yellowtail fish has been one of the best fishes of my life!Areas for improvement: sushi rice was too soft and linguine were not al dente and not so tasty

What a great restaurant.Their Google rating isnt high enough (4.4 now)...Our waitress was superb. Excellent knowledge of the menu, and very friendly.The food was absolutely delicious, and the view/location was pretty damn good!Well worth a visit, and well be back!

This place was recommended to us a few times and we were not disappointed. Awesome menu options, great presentation of food which was tasty and incredibly fresh. Not too expensive, especially given the quality of food, crockery, view and enjoyable chic decor and style of the place. I really loved the artichoke and mushroom dim sum but honestly everything was delicious. There are many other dishes I would come back to try. Will definitely recommend it ourselves

Seafood platter was great! Service was good. If you love seafod....this restaurant is the perfect choice...!

Such a beautiful, stylishly appointed, well managed restaurant with a stunning view and unique menu. The food was absolutely delicious and pricing was competitive. We had fish cakes for starters, Grilled Hake for main and Creme Brule for desert. Meals that sound so plain, but were tarted up to the next level. Highly, HIGHLY recommended.

Thank you to the floor manager on duty last night, 29.09.2021.You made it possible for my 86 year old father and my physically challenged friend to also enjoy the excellent food at the Fat Fish. Thank you for your kindness and the assistance to get them in the restarant.All done with big smiles, never making anyone feeling as if they are a burden.Busi, we met you for the 1st time last year and there you were our waitress again last night. You are an exceptional waitress! Thank you so much for ensuring we had a evening to remember.

My golly gooddness...this chef has has cooked a fish or two in his life!

Really good sushi.

The food is out of my expectations. The fish ceviche is amazing.

Came for a quick lunch after swimming with seals in Oct 2019. Quite simply, some of the freshest fish available in the Plettenberg area.+ Platters of mouthwatering original dishes. Epic fish and chips (couldnt help myself) and prawns to drool over.+ Ideally situated on central beach, with amazing views+ Casual and up-beat vibe with open verandah with undercover area inside+ Team were friendly and helpful with choosing from an original menu made to look like a newspaper- Nothing negative about our experience.Definitely worth it if you are in or passing the Plettenberg area.

Very nice place to eat. The fish was delicious and service friendly and efficient. A definite go back.

Whao what a fantastic experience.I was wanting a nice piece of fish for so long now and could not have picked a better place to go too.While eating I could imagine the chef buying the fish from the fisherman that afternoon and putting his/her passion for preparing a meal to work. So fresh so well prepared.The staff is very friendly and adds to the experience.Well done and I will always refer people to this restaurant.

Great lunch! Fresh fish at its best!!

The Fat Fish is one of those gems of a restaurant we discovered during one of our trips to Plett. Since then it is often a topic of conversation...ooh what are you going to have the next time we go to Fat Fish. We have never been disappointed yet. Whatever you order it is delicious. They cater to almost every palate. They seafood is so beautifully fresh it really is worth the little extra money you will spend. Although Fat fish may seem a little pricey to some, they are absolutely value for money. Not only in the quality of food or portions, but also ambience, friendly helpful service AND overall wonderful experience. We highly recommend Fat Fish to anyone but especially seafood lovers.

One eats out to relax and be served. To see the menu is daunting for most because you have to scan a code which then takes you to a website and then you view it via your phone. The website menu has prices and a cart so u assume this is how you order your food but then a waiter appears to take your order. By then you are tired and annoyed. If you want take away you order online. Collect or deliver. When dining out you want to avoid any effort from your side. All we could talk about was the fact that we had to view the menu via a website using our phones. No talk of food or service.

Super venue, food and team!

Thank you for meal that was very enjoyable. It was cold outside but fire made it warm. Food was very good.

Absolutely value for money. Food was good and hot.Service friendly and efficient.

Superb! The food and the service were sompley amazing! Jeanne, the waitress, was EXTRA in suggesting wine and food combinations as well as the desert! We had fried hake and calamari and the seafood fettuccine and both were delicious! We definitely recommend!!!

Welcoming staff excellent meal thanks for a great evening

The most amazing food and service ever ! Very pleasant environment 😃

The picture doesnt do it justice - every visit to the Plettenberg Bay venue has been an absolute delight. Last weeks visit was no exception. A real gem that we factor into each trip we make to Plett. Peter - Simons Town

Vibey restaurant with excellent and generous seafood portions. Friendly service. In the evenings, best to make a booking.

The Fat Fish remains our favorite restaurant when we visit Plettenberg Bay.The food is consistently excellent, a great ambience and Thando provided top class service. We enjoyed both the steak and the fish, compliments to the chef. Thank you for a super evening.

Wonderful food..service excellent..view spectacular .thank you

There is both indoor and outdoor seating which has a beautiful view of the ocean that gives the restaurant a relaxed atmosphere. The service was friendly and accommodating with our young child. The food was really tasty. I had the Grilled Hake & Sesame Fried Calamari and I was surprised with the unique addition of the sesame seeds that were added. And the digital menu was an excellent practical step in place to prevent covid transmission.

Very good and trendy fish restaurant.Its busy all the time so you have to make a reservation at least one day before.

Really great and delicious food with the best service you could ask for! Jeanne really did an amazing job and we really appreciated her recommendations! We will come back for sure!!

Excellent food and lovely restaurant. We had a really pushy waitress, but I would still highly recommend this restaurant. We ate fish platter for 2, and hake and chips. Hake was so fresh and soft, was fabulous

Nice name, high expectations. Good service, good food, nice setting, satisfied but lacked sparkle........

Delicious food, extremely attentive and friendly service.

Pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. Meal started out very well with good service, an excellent cocktail and three amazing tapas. Second two tapas took longer than we would have liked, and were not as good as the first three. Really enjoyed it and will go back anytime.

I do not like Chilli at all but the Chilli butter baby kingklip is amazing

R110 Thursday special. 2 pieces of fish and chips - for 2 people!Good setting. Lovely views.Well trained wait staff. Lovely maitred.Some of the senior staff did not make eye contact and seemed a little aloof.Owner made a point to say hello.

Food wasn’t that good. For sure the seafood was frozen not fresh. The stars for the Service and interior design

We spotted the Fat Fish after our visit of Robberg nature reserve hiking in Plettenberg Bay. We tried arancini and tuna tatake as appetizers and loved both, continued with grilled hake and baby potatoes which was delicious as well as the parmesan crumble kingflip. We like the rest so much we came a second time two days later after our Addo park and Taitsikama visit and went for the rich creamy Mussel soup, Salmon poke bowl and Spinach ravioli. I took a Franschoek sauvignon with the meal and i have to say we loved every single thing of this restaurant. the meals are delicious, the atmosphere is nice and the service is super. highly recommend.

Sat outside this time and found it more enjoyable than inside. We were 3 and we ordered the parmesan kingklip,very tasty but needs more flavor. Couldnt taste the parmesan at all. Seafood linguine. Delicious,quite a large portion. Plenty of prawns and fish along with mussels. And the final dish was Grilled prawns with chips. Also excellent.

We loved it. Food is fantastic. Great location and very friendly staff. Service is quick and we had a lovely time.

Wow, fantastic!, highly recommended

It’s a good restaurant but very loud and kind of no atmosphere. The food came so fast that we could have been in and out in 20 minutes. Don’t get me wrong I do also hate to wait for to long but it felt like a fast food restaurant.

Venue is amazing, the food spectacular but costly.

Loved it. Food was great. Service nice and quick. Good value for the money. Great view, to riverside and nicely decorated.

Very nice location. Excellent food. Good variety of fish and meet. Excellent starters. Nice sushi very good deserts. The service was fast and kind.

One of the highest rated restaurant in the area it has a lot of different choices such as steak seafood spaghetti and appetizers the restaurant is very clean and the staff are very helpful and polite it is recommended to try this restaurant

Bulit into the rock wallExcellent viewCurry was exceptional

Nice place with great seafood. Also the view is fantastic. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. A clear recommendation!

Brilliant restaurant in Plettenberg bay. We decided to end our holiday with a nice dinner and could not have chosen a better place. Beautiful venue built in and on a rock face and very tastefully decorated. The staff was also very professional and welcoming eventhough we did not book a table. The menu has a great variety of seafood tappas, seafood and some red meat as well. We ordered 6 small plates and I would definitely recommend the soused salmon - absolutely delicious.So if you are in Plettenberg bay this is definitely one to visit.

The first visit was very nice, but today it was more than disappointing. We ordered our food. After 45 minutes we received the starters. Another 45 minutes later, the first two people at our table got their food. Another 10 minutes later the rest of the table got their food. but the broccoli was a joke. Check the picture, it was just the broccolis stalk. The service also was disappointing. No sorry for the long time to wait or the vegetables, and she did not ask for new drinks. I Think, Spur next door would have do it better.

Great food. The steak was fantastic and also the seafood curry. Big portions and great service. Can highly recommend.

As usual excellent food good service for the last few years walking distance to our timeshare well Simon Ash.

Up until now this is the best restaurant that weve had dinner at. They have an excellent service with a great menu. It speaks for itself that the menu consists mainly of fish. The menu was nicely done as a sort of newspaper and the wine we had was excellent. Most definitely a place we would come back to.

After reading the good reviews decided to go here for a meal on a Saturday in February 2021. Firstly the first three items ordered were unavailable the tuna, linefish and fish curry although on the menu so thought of having mussels but its done in a cream sauce which is not to our liking and no alternative sauce such as a tomato base is on offer. So had to go for hake and calamari which was not very tasty. My hake was not cooked enough and my vegetables were cold and the chips scorching hot. When I told the waitress the vegetables were cold she just said in a polite but brusque manner Im sorry! I do not recommend and will not be returning. Total waste of money 🤨

We had Sushi and fish which was very good. The service was friendly and the food came very quickly. The place was very busy and maybe a bit too loud. Nevertheless the athmosphere was nice.

+ Did not reserve and got a seat outdoor.- I had the burmese seafood curry and this was way too spicy - I am used to eat spicy and hot food but this was way too hot. I could not taste anything anymore.+ Veggie sushi was good.

The food, the service and the level of pride taken by each staff member is really admirable! Everything was perfect!

Lovely fish and chips!!! Salmon roses and wine! Great service and ambience. Totally recommend !!! :)

We had a wonderful experience at the Fat Fish. Warmly greeted by great manager Zuki who made us feel very welcome, even with a stumbling 14month old.Went back a second time and had same great service. Zuki also arranged for the baby food to be warmed without batting an eyelid.Delicious fresh fish prepared with care, solid wine selection and great beers on tap!Thanks for making this new nervous family feel welcomed!

Had a very nice meal here during our stay. My girlfriend got the chowder to start and it was incredible! One of the best chowders Ive tasted. The seafood curry was quite good too. Service was friendly and prompt. I would recommend booking ahead.

Very nice food and nice view of the ocean!

The food was tasty, which is nice.

Always amazing. Upmarket mainly fish and sushi restaurant. Well known in Plett. Superb food. Great location with sea views over Central Beach and lagoon. Well done Simon.

Great food. The starters were excellent, particularly the dim sum. I had the fish and chips, it was perfectly cooked and a decent portion size. The view sitting outside is great and the service was excellent.

The mussels were fabulous! And the brulee desert sublime. Lovely service. Thank you 😊

Have always loved the Fat Fish in Plett but sad to say our experience this last week was a disappointment! My husband has always rated their seafood pasta one of the best in South Africa but this time was really not good. My daughter who was with us had been to Fat Fish the week before and said she experienced the same then - no flavour (my husband had to keep dousing it with salt just to get some kind of flavour, also very little fish, just a bowl of pasta and mussels! Their desserts also unfortunately not as good as they used to be!

Great food. Lovely and friendly service from Jeanne & Donna 🇿🇦❤

Great food excellent service. Beautiful view

Was impress by the atmosphere at first glance and afterwards by the food - it was amazing! Absolutely delicious and totally worth it to go here. Cheers, Tim

Great service and great food! We took our toddler with us and the staff were so helpful and friendly. The food was delicious and I really appreciated the QR code menus so I didnt have to touch a menu, even though they had some available on request. And the dessert was delicious! I had the ginger infused cheese cake, it was the best cheesecake Ive ever had!

Great seafood, choice of wines, sushi looked fantastic as well, friendly staff - wonderful experience!

Get ambience, food is amazing and great service.

Came here for a quick lunch which ended up to take more than 1:30 h due to slow staff and kitchen. Other customers that ordered after us received their food first. Staff apologized somewhat but was not really making up for it.Also they got one dish wrong of an easy order.COVID-19 rules are also not followed or cared for and bathrooms should be serviced more frequent, they looked terrible.A place that just takes the cash of tourists and visitors due to its location.Food was ok, but not excellent.I cannot recommend.

Amazing sushi. Defiantly be back.

Very kind and friendly staff. The salmon was very delicious and I enjoyed my time there.

What an awesome restaurant - great service and great food

Incredible fresh sea food. Some of the best service we have ever had in the area! Thank you!

Food is ok but not outstanding or something special.

Thank you for addressing my issues I experienced yesterday at your restaurant

The tapas are delicious the service quick and friendly -sitting out on the terrace with a good glass of wine -happy days

Good lunch special if youre hungry. When the place is very busy, expect a longer waiting time in service.

Great service and absolutely delicious sushi

Very nice restaurant if you want to celebrate a anniversary. I personaly dont like the QR code scanning for the menu.

Incredible food, stunning view, and unbelievably friendly and on it service.

Lovely stop for lunch - restaurant was tastefully decorated, service was good and most importantly, food was delicious. Prawns were super fresh and grilled to perfection.

Cocktails were good... Very busy do we had to wait a while... Although we had sushi.... And it was very well made..... Clean and neat and very tasty..... And the view was the best part along with a cocktail in our hand....

The most recommended restaurant in Plettenberg Bay. Reservations are essential, however we went for an early dinner.We tried the seafood platter for two which was the freshest seafood. The fish was made with a hint of chilli, melting in the mouth, and the huge prawns was grilled just right and was flavoursome. The calamari was lightly battered. The dish also came with a fragrant basmati rice and two sauces.The restaurant was built in the ‘mountain’ with the rocks exposed as a wall - what a great feature.The waiter provided an amazing service and was so friendly. Top class!

I like to eat here when I am in plett. Food well prepared and interesting. The salmon was off the menu for a while and luckily back now and still my favourite.

Felt a bit pricey, and food was 4/5 tonight. Excellent service.

Great lunch, fabulous location, friendly staff...

Suggested by the hotel, although the food is good, the service is poor. I felt uncomfortable by the rudeness of the waiter.

I ordered 4 main meals total. 2 of those meals were not great. Fish was bland. The other two meals were great. Portion size could have been a little more. Menu and prices definitely signify fine dining.

Good food, stunning view, awesome service! Thank you!

Excellent Sushi and fish

Excellent food and service. Our waiter Wayne was very knowledgeable about the wines and we really enjoyed our meals and experience there.

They close thier restaurant at random hours. Dont trust the hours on Google because chances are they are closed in those hours too. Every time we go there they turn us away. Dont bother coming on a whim or as a tourist in the area, youll just be turned away. Even if there is space in the restaurant. Although if youre an elitist Im sure youll feel right at home.

We had an absolute amazing experience at The Fat Fish in Plett. The vibe is incredible, the staff super friendly and the food is DELICIOUS (and even that is an understatement). The Kataifi Prawns is the best starter I’ve ever had! The sushi was fresh and super tasty. To top it off, we had the Lemon Panna Cotta for dessert and it was superb.If you’re looking for an amazing dining experience, this is the place to go.

Absolutely love the vibe of this place and the food was delicious. Will definitely be going back, especially for their sushi!
