Blend Country Restaurant and Pub

We had 2 really good meals at Blend last weekend. The Sunday afternoon was very pleasant sitting outside with live music.

The Blend has the most amazing Pizza i have eaten, the live entertainment coupled with the most attentive service makes it feel like the old days where great service and great food were the standard of the day. can't wait to get back to Knysna to visit our new friends at the Blend

Excellent service, delicious food and wonderful music! Great family outing!Highly recommend, please do give it a try...

So glad this popular place had reopened. Tasty food, great live music, great service. There is only one problem - smokers.The outside area is large, with covid, everyone prefers to sit in fresh air. It is therefore recommended that a designated seating area for smokers are allocated. At the moment, they are scattered amongst non smokers which makes the Blend experience not pleasant for everyone. Even the considerate smokers feel uncomfortable. Maybe the section under the trees?

Had an excellent Sunday afternoon,my wife had the fillet steak which was superb with a herb butter flambéd at the table, herbs from their own garden.Enjoyed the singer,Cat Simone.This restaurant will be a great success, keep up the good work.

What a beautiful venue!!! Sitting under a forest-like canopy of shady trees, listening to live music,kids all running around in the aaaample space provided for them...siiighThen just when you think you have found heaven, it just gets better!!!Exquisite menu, reasonably priced,and staff that make you feel like you've hired your own personal chef and stewards to serve you in your own private luxury garden!!!I will definitely be making Blend our "spot" to go to whether it's cos I don't feel like cooking,or if ai want to just escape the world and breath a huge sigh of relief...VERY WELL DONE TO THE NEW OWNERS WHO TOOK THE OLD AND TURNED IT INTO WHAT SURELY CAN ONLY BECOME KNYSNA'S NEXT GEM!!!Thank you for giving me a slice of paradise to come visit as often as I can

This restaurant is all about social gatherings. My wife and I just wanted a meal but I would say we were the only couple there. The rest were larger groups and families who seemed to be having a great time.The food was OK, quite acceptable for this sort of establishment. We had pizzas which were reasonable but not of a standard you should get in an Italian restaurant.The service was jolly but the staff were run off their feet due to the number of people.

We have dined at Blend with overseas guests on a number of visits to Knysna, but our last visit to this restaurant is likely to be our last. The relaxed alfresco dining atmosphere was spoilt by countless smokers, mosquitos, sub-standard food and poor service.My prawn cocktail starter was not freshly prepared and appeared to have come straight out of the fridge. Not only did we have to wait a long time for our mains to be served, but when they were eventually served, they had forgotten my order and by the time my pizza did arrive, my guests had finished their meals. They had obviously rushed to get my pizza out to me and the pizza base was not yet properly cooked when they served it to me. I asked to speak to the manager (who spent the evening lounging on a chair). The manager never arrived, but the owner did. She apologised for the poor service, but made matters worse by trying to make excuses for the oversight and then became extremely defensive when we offered our constructive criticism.The owner of this establishment is going to have to make sure that this establishment ups it’s game if it is to survive the challenging times ahead.

We had a nice dinner here last night. The food was quite good, although not exceptional. Service was friendly enough, seemed a bit in over their heads at times. There was some music when we got there but by 19:30 it just stopped. That was sad

Quiet spot, nicely laid out restaurant with an intimate feel. Quality menu (this was 2nd visit) and a wide range of vinos.We had load-shedding just our mains were being but dining in the candlelight was rather nice. Service was excellent, staff very personable. Nb. No generator as yet but the owner told us they were getting one! Definitely one to try if you are in Knysna.
