Immerse your senses ...
Situated on the water’s edge of Knysna’s trendy Thesen Harbour Town, Sirocco is evocatively named after the warm wind that blows across the Mediterranean. Sirocco is a vibrant meeting place; a lunch and dinner venue for those who appreciate relaxed sophistication, cutting-edge design, friendly service, and great food.
Sirocco (‘Immerse your senses’) is the kind of elegant destination you’d choose for a special occasion. Its Italian/Portuguese/South African menu includes seafood, oysters, steaks, venison, fired-baked gourmet pizza, delicious pastas, salads, and unique desserts.
Dining at Sirocco is more than just a meal. It’s a whole sensory experience. From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed by stunning views of the Knysna lagoon that create a relaxed, coastal atmosphere. Live music and a vibrant vibe fill the air, turning dinners into memorable celebrations of flavour and community.
We offer wine tastings, functions, canapes, oyster shucking experiences, private events and so much more; if you can dream the experience, we are here to make it a reality.
