Excellent oysters, prawns, squid, even rice too. Very friendly and fast services. Limited stools , but people are very patient to wait, because it’s worth to wait. If you love seafood, this is the place. Highly recommended.

Best place at v&a waterfront

When you go to v&a waterfront you HAVE TO stop at Knysna Oyster Company. Take a seat at the bar in the foodmarket, get some delicous oysters or other Great Seafood and have a glass of ice cold wine. Staff is very Friendly. Perfect place...to spend your afternoon.More

We came back again!

Sooooo good we came back again within 2 weeks as we extended our honeymoon in Cape Town! One of our favorite seafood places with fresh oysters and the best peri peri grilled prawns ever, after trying a couple of others at various restaurants. The sauce...is quite unique, you'd know when you have a shot at it, service is quick and you can easily find it at the food market at the V&A!More

So good, we went back.

Located in a small area of the V&A waterfront, the staff are pleasant and happy to serve you while still managing to quietly and efficiently produce some great food. The range is inevitably limited to mainly Oysters, Squid and Prawns with various dressings but the...old adage about doing well what you do best, in this case works very well. Highly recommended.More

Average quality

Maybe the expectations were too high. The quality of the oysters was not up to my standards. Service and sauvignon blanc just ok. Consumption for the masses.

Lovely mussels and Sauv Blanc

Lovely mussels and Sauv Blanc while watching the outdoor concerts in the square. Women behind the counter were funny and atmosphere inside the market was great!

Fantastic!!

Can’t beat the price or the quality of the shucking. Atmosphere is great. Oysters are outstanding. Had a wonderful time! Some pickled onions / vinaigrette would be a great addition.
