Le Maquis By Cathy Remy - Knysna

One of the best! Of course the food is beautifully prepared and exceptionally tasty. The camambert starter was fantastic(and big enough for two), my ostrich fillet was totally amazing it melted in my mouth like candy floss! The duck was not as crispy as one might expect though. We never managed a third course. I should have skipped the scallop starter and shared the camembert (nothing at all wrong with the delicate and tasty scallops) . More than that, the waiters are well-trained, discrete and attentive. Cathy looks after her diners very well and Remy makes a point of calling on every table to see that you are enjoying his food. A little pricey, but worth every cent. I cannot imagine how you could visit this restaurant and leave disappointed can't happen. We had a great evening. Good wine list.

We had such a lovely evening with Remy and Cathy! My girlfriend and I didn't have a reservation but were seated quickly on a Thursday evening. Loadshedding made for a romantic candlelight dinner as the sun went down. We each had three courses and split a bottle of wine and didn't regret a thing. Beautiful, classic French cooking (in Knysna, who would have thought with some really interesting twists (my girlfriend had the springbok with blueberry sauce and it was delicious) and charming touches. The owners and staff are so gracious. This was a memorable dining experience

The best restaurant in South Africa! beautiful eating, great service and beautiful atmosphere! thank you cathy and rémy for the wonderful experience!

In all of my travel experience if I'm lucky enough there is always a restaurant that I attached to my memory of the trip and for my whole month in South Africa, this is it. we booked via WhatsApp, they were kind enough to confirm within the hour or even less. We were greeted by Cathy, got our table and quickly the waitress came to provide us the menu for the food and drinks. Shortly after Reimy came to introduce himself and welcome us to their restaurant, lovely couple I could see why this restaurant has these amazing reviews, they made you feel welcome. We had the scallops as an appetizer, very good but I recommend ordering two appetizers if you are sharing and hungry. we had the duck breast, deliciously crisp in the outside and tender in the inside, also the Ostrich, it was my first time trying it and it was my favorite dish! and finished with the crème brûlée perfectly. As for drinks I had G&T which you can't go wrong with a simple cocktail.

Cathy and Remy are wonderful hists and the food was exceptional. We ordered the Cote de Boeuf' and it was cooked to perfection.
