We've prepared a special menu featuring comforting winter favourites, from homemade soup and chicken livers to slow-cooked oxtail, roast lamb and indulgent desserts. Every dad will also receive a complimentary glass of red wine on arrival.

Set against the peaceful surroundings of the Bitou River, it's the perfect opportunity to slow down, share a meal and celebrate the fathers, grandfathers and father figures who mean so much to us.

Our normal menu will also be available.

A wonderful morning at Down to Earth as we welcomed a group of 15 classic car enthusiasts for a scrumptious breakfast by the river.

The group, made up of members from the MG Car Club and the Eden Classic Car Group from Knysna, arrived in an impressive collection of beautifully maintained classic vehicles. These regular outings are about much more than simply enjoying a drive, they celebrate the camaraderie, friendships, and shared passion that bring like-minded people together.

Thank you for choosing Down to Earth as part of your journey. We loved having you and look forward to welcoming you back soon.

As the quieter winter months settle in, our Friday Night Italian Evenings will be taking a short break.

Weโ€™d like to thank everyone who joined us around the table for good food, great conversation, and all the memorable evenings shared over the past season. ๐Ÿค

While Italian Nights are taking a winter rest, Down To Earth remains open during the day, serving your favourite breakfasts, lunches, coffees, and riverside moments.

Weโ€™ll be back with Italian Nights when the warmer months return. Until then, we look forward to welcoming you for a relaxed daytime visit by the river. ๐ŸŒฟ
