We eat at Emily Moon on a recommendation from our hotel, and weren't disappointed at all. Only wish we'd got there early, to enjoy the sunset. Lovely atmosphere and excellent food. We had the slow cooked duck - which was so tender fell from the bone, EXCELLENT. Would highly recommend it.

Owning a guesthouse many of my guests have eaten at Emily's before venturing down to St Francis Bay. I have always heard really good reviews about this little restaurant and was fortunate enough to have lunch there today. My friend and I are both chefs and appreciate great location, attention to detail and the finer things. We were welcomed by... More

We stayed here for 2 nights and ate in the restaurant. The food was awesome, the wine etc was lovely and the cost was very reasonable. The only down side was the atmosphere, no music etc and it was cold. Our friend who suffers with the cold was freezing......

What a beautiful sunset! The meal was very good and we enjoyed the evening. Our waited made a mistake with the order and we were compensated with a free dessert. They should have volunteered to correct the order but didn't. That was disappointing. I think they should have comped the meal instead of providing a free dessert.

We were in Plett for a week and went twice to this resturant because the location was excellent and the food fantastic. Get there before the sun goes down and enjoy a sundowner around the pool and open fireplace (in winter) - the views from the resturant are wonderful. Apart from good food and a clever wine list the prices... More

What a stunning ambience when we arrived! The cuisine, staff, and atmosphere were absolutely perfect. My group of ladies thoroughly enjoyed the evening and we thank the staff from the Robberg for the suggestion!

This charming restaurant is about 5 kms out of Plett. it has a very romantic atmosphere at night and I can recommend it as a special occasion eatery. the food is well presented and the menu is small but complete. Service is attentive but a little slow although they do not rush you to finish- so you need to enjoy... More
