If you enjoy a new and uber stylish hot spot restaurant to frequent for a business or pleasure breakfast or lunch meal – allow Lunar cafe to catch your attention, you will be drawn to a new favourite getaway from the usual places in and around town, positioned at the end of Thesen Harbour Town, where parking is ample.
Lunar cafe’s menu has been chosen by the owner and the chef. You will find the food is an unusual fusion, with large portions of Fish-cake salad and Lamb-knuckle fettucini pasta being served at lunch, to name only two of my favourites, gourmet burgers also caught my eye. Their poached eggs laid on a bed of spinach topped with smoked salmon would get me up early to start my busy day. Also please try their quality brand coffee as there are no coffee restraints and coffee is something they pride in serving, so pop in for a cafe late if that’s all that tickles your fancy, they serve home-made biscotti on the side too and freshly baked cakes are adorned on the bar area in large glass holders for you to view – for all sweet tooth people : take note.
Lunar is open every week day from 8am til 6pm, the evenings by special request only, but open on a Friday and Saturday for dinner or after-work cocktails and drinks to begin your weekend and what a hip place to be seen on a Friday… See you there!
Their breakfast menu also features three different options for those who enjoy french toast and yes this is one of the better venues in Knysna. But…..I did not enjoy the citrus salad on top of which the chef had balanced those perfect fish cakes. It was bland and to my jaded chilli scorched palate, tastless. A drizzle of a tasty dressing would have made all the difference. I had the same problem with their Atholl Browse although I don’t think a drizzle of salad dressing would do the trick a second time around.
Oops, i have made a mistake – they are open on Saturdays all day and night, kitchen closes at 10pm apparently – sorry Lunar, i gave wrong details here. I had a peek at their menu again on Friday and got my times all wrong.
