About Drydock Food Co

Perched right on the Knysna Waterfront, Drydock Food Co offers front-row seats to the harbour's daily rhythm. The relaxed atmosphere draws families, friends and visitors who come for the fresh linefish, proper pub-style burgers, and cold craft beers. The outdoor deck is ideal for sunny afternoons watching boats drift past.

The menu leans into local seafood – think calamari, hake and chips, and catch of the day – alongside hearty burgers and sharing platters. It's the kind of place where you can arrive in your sailing gear or settle in for a long lunch. Service is friendly and unpretentious, matching the coastal vibe.

Whether you're after a quick bite before exploring the lagoon or a leisurely meal with waterfront views, Drydock delivers solid food in an unbeatable location. It's a Knysna staple that locals return to and visitors inevitably find themselves at.
