Fantastic selection of plant based/ vegan options with such excellent flavours and high quality breakfast and lunch items. All food/drinks in photos were vegan and scrummy. Such a beautiful setting too in a complex with little boutique shops and gorgeous decor. Service was spot on and friendly. Would definitely go again.

Just the perfect spot for brunch or lunch. The orange juice was fresh and tasty and the bobotie spring rolls super yum. It was raining, so we sat inside, but there is a lovely outdoor section under the trees. Will definitely be back soon to sample some of their other delicious dishes.

The restaurant was a recommendation...It is a Beautiful restaurant, with lovely outdoor and indoor seating. The friendliest people are working there, always smiling! Our waitress, Berni, was just amazing! ...Professional and friendly!The food... It was fresh and delicious with generous portions! My son and husband thoroughly enjoyed their burgers! They said it was done to perfection, both the medium and medium to well burger patty. My daughter loved her tacos! The Greek meze platter was equally fresh and delicious! Just a little more seasoning was needed for the tzatziki...after a little sprinkling of salt, it was perfect! The cappuccino was so tasty, I had to order a second one! We will definitely be visiting the restaurant again on our next visit to Knysna! Can't wait to try out more delicious food options!

Highly recommended to me and did not disappoint. Staff were amazing and food was perfect. Great cozy atmosphere on a wet and cold day. The French Toast with Berries and Mascarpone Cheese was divine! The Green Envy eggs was excellent and healthy.

Was invited by friends on a really nasty day of rain and wind. Waited almost 2 hours for a table. The service was amazing, the atmosphere was good. The food meh it was good but not great. Their cakes and croissants were amazing. Not sure it was worth the wait, but I would probably go again out of season.

Lovely spot for breakfast or brunch. The place gets busy quite quickly so best to get there early. Must try some of their pastries, the lemon slice is out of this world.

What a lovely gem in Knysna!Came for a brunch and the place was quite packed! We got a table relatively fast though. The decor is so nice, so try to sit inside unless you really want to be out!Their menu is focused on breakfasts, baked goods and light bites, as they also have a sister restaurant that serves lunch and dinner.The coffee was very good, but they ran out of Oreoes quite fast. I had the Apple roll, which was just ok.The breakfast food was tasty - my partner had the polenta chips with an hit smoked trout and a poached egg and I had the scrambled egg over toast with pesto and shaved Parmesan.Their breads were probably the best we had in South Africa so far, as it relates to non traditional bread.Would come back.

Absolute gem!Everything about île de païn is just so dreamy - the setting, menu, food all of the glorious bakes! It felt like we were transported! We enjoyed the bread basket along with green eggs and Vietnamese coffee.

Île de païn might not be for the average Joe, but it is definitely worth it for the palet sensationalist and awe-inspiring atmosphere seekers. The sublime smell of fresh breads and baked goods draw you in where you are greeted and seated by the warm, welcoming interior and staff.
