Nice location on sea front... ideal for a light lunch... food well cooked and service also good... not sure what it would be like for dinner as menu more suited for casual lunch time eating.

Description: Lemon Grass Seaside Restaurant is beautifully situated at the water’s edge in Plettenberg Bay, with uninterrupted views of lagoon, mountain and ocean. The restaurant’s open, warm atmosphere is coupled with an exceptional location making it one of Plettenberg Bay’s top restaurants. Visual feasting aside, the award-winning dishes at Lemon Grass are equally delicious. From the freshest dish and seafood to mouth-watering meats and game, all drawing influence from international and traditional local cuisine. Each dish is carefully prepared from the freshest ingredients by our chefs to ensure that you are smiling from the first bite to the last!

This restaurant has a fantastic view over the beach and made a good lunch stop. The menu gave a range of choices and our choice of sole was well cooked and nicely presented. Am not sure it would be a location for dinner, but it was certainly a good find for lunch and my wife and I enjoyed sitting in...

The atmosphere of the Lemon Grass is only outdone by its food and service. It is located and adjoins the Milkwood Manor.

As we were staying in the Milkwood Manor (attached hotel) we ate here 2 nights and whilst the food was good quality it was a limited menu and didn't match up to the hype that we had previously read about.

Whilst it seems quite formal we came straight off the beach and felt welcome. The calamari was fantastic as was the fish of the day. We sat outside and the weather was superb. Really enjoyed it.

It was evening and a miserable autumn wet day so perhaps not seen at its best. Very good, if simple food offering a good variety of fish and meat dishes. Plain-ish cooking and portions on the small side, but very reasonably proved.

Mmmm. Came as a result of tripadvisor ratings. Venue and views are great, food is so so. Creme Brule sugar coating to thin and burned, grilled fish is really fried, calamari were great, so was the chicken livers.

The food here is great. The view amazing. The service, excellent. During holiday times you need to book well in advance to get a table. Well worth the effort though!

Take family for evening dinner. Atmosphere was quite relaxed and I took my 6 and 4 year old children together, but they don't cater for kids. We had the fish and steak for mains, and it was absolutely lovely. Good value for money as food and drinks is not that expensive.
