About Tapas & Oysters

Perched on Thesen Island's waterfront, Tapas & Oysters brings together an eclectic menu under one roof. The oyster bar draws locals and visitors alike for fresh Knysna oysters served natural or grilled, while the tapas selection ranges from Spanish classics to Asian-inspired small plates. Sushi rolls and Japanese dishes add another dimension to the extensive menu.

The lively atmosphere shifts throughout the day—relaxed waterfront lunches give way to buzzing evenings with live music and sports screenings. The spacious venue handles everything from casual drinks to larger functions, with indoor and outdoor seating making the most of the island setting. It's the kind of place where you might come for oysters and stay for the vibe, especially when the sun sets over the water.
