We had a delicious Sunday lunch for four here. The generous menu is imaginative and varied. There are 8 or so starters which all sounded so delicious we had difficulty in deciding which to try. The mains were equally enticing as were the spectacular deserts. Presentation and taste of all our dishes was outstanding, seriously upmarket, but very reasonably priced. The very well trained waiting staff were a pleasure to interact with, as was the chef, clearly a superbly trained and experienced person, who visited the table several times to make sure all was well. He is clearly passionate not only about the restaurant, but also the boutique hotel within which the restaurant is located. The spectacular views over Lookout beach and the lagoon to the distant mountains must be mentioned. The main courses looked so delectable I forgot to take pictures, but here are some of our dishes.

Sorry, we can’t give more than one star. The restaurant couldn’t cope with the number of guests, so the service and food were very slow. Sadly the Food wasn’t even good. In our eyes problem of management since every single table/ chair got occupied. Guys, this will not lead to success! Plett standards are immensely high regarding food, drinks, ambiance and service - you can’t compete with any of the other high standard restaurants around. You got that one star for the view…. People like the chat… so turn down that volume in the restaurant! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person R 500+ Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 3
I recently dined at The Palms Plett and had a fantastic experience. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the service was attentive and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious - each dish was beautifully presented and full of flavour. I particularly enjoyed the Pork Belly and Garlic Prawns. My husband enjoyed The Haus Burger and says it was the best burger he's tasted in Plett! The portion sizes were generous, and I left feeling completely satisfied. I would definitely recommend The Palms to anyone looking for a great meal in a relaxed and enjoyable setting. I can't wait to go back!

Wonderful ambiance, and the service was super special! I thought my pork ribs were really excellent. My sisters ordered the duck, but were disappointed by the small portion size and lack of sides. The portion size of the pork belly starter is great... With some vegetables added, could be a main. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person R 250–300 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
I would have liked to give no star if it was available. Table was booked by a friend for four of us for this evening (16.02.24). This was confirmed by email by the restaurant. When we arrived we were told our booking was cancelled as there was a private party taking place. We did not receive any prior warning. The manager told us it was a business decision as the party was for around 100 people, rather more than the 35 or so reservations for dinner. I understand that but what an appalling way to handle it. We were offered a cup of coffee instead of dinner. We declined and went in search of somewhere else eat. Needless to say we won’t be returning.
As we walk in the chef asks us how we are so we say fine and you, he proceeds to say he is EXHAUSTED! He then proceeds to tell us the restaurant is fully booked when it’s empty. Terrible sense of humour and maybe we just expected better hospitality! Then during the entire experience the same jack johnson song played over and over again and when we asked the waiter why it’s on repeat, they said the chef has done that. Seems like the chef is the manager and chef in one. Then the food was so average, the omelette arrived without toast despite me ordering it. The almond croissant was filled with chocolate mouse and too rich for a breakfast item and should have been on the dessert menu. My husband did not enjoy the trout cream cheese, overall terrible. Coffee arrived cold… just not up to our standards. We are used to excellent food and service at establishments like Tashas mall of Africa. Poor management is evident in the Palms Plett. The establishment is obviously cutting costs without a manager. Meal type Breakfast Price per person R 200–250 Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 1

I had such a lovely evening at the palms. We were welcomed with a complimentary glass of Boschendal bubbly on the porch, overlooking the breathtaking views of the lagoon and the ocean. The food and drinks were amazing and the host was really friendly and welcoming. After our mains he suggested we had to go on the rooftop for a warm beverage and he gave me a blanket. What an amazing end to an amazing evening, the view was just phenomenal. AND to top it off, the chef came to greet us on our way out. Literally the best experience ever. Thank you to all the staff at the Palms. I'm looking forward to visiting you again. Meal type Dinner Price per person R 500+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
The best service we’ve had so far on our trip to South Africa. Venue is beautiful and has a nice view as well. The chickpea curry is vegan and highly recommend, my partner has allergies and the chef took the time to come out and confirm the dish was suitable which was so appreciated! Will try to get back again for another visit before we leave Plett! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person R 250–300 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Well, fine dining at its very best! A great view over the Look Out beach and lagoon, a great atmosphere and playlist, an impressive wine list that compliments a wonderful menu. The service by the friendly and competent staff and food are quite exceptional, well worth of support! We’ll be back soon! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
