Local tip
Booking ahead is the practical choice, particularly when a table with a view is important.

2 Stories restaurant and theatre sits above the Knysna Heads at 5 Glen View Road, Coney Glen, with broad views across the lagoon and out towards the ocean. The setting gives the venue a strong sense of place on the Garden Route, while the restaurant’s food takes a refined approach to local flavours and seasonal ingredients.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served for in-house dining, with a style that ranges from relaxed daytime meals to more intimate evening occasions. The menu is shaped around regional influences and produce that changes with the seasons, making the restaurant suitable for diners looking for a considered meal in a scenic setting rather than a casual takeaway stop.

The venue also incorporates a movie theatre, creating an option for evenings that combine film, food and views. Its theatre offering is designed around a relaxed night out, while the restaurant remains suitable for a long lunch, a leisurely breakfast or a dinner occasion. The combination gives 2 Stories a broader appeal than a conventional dining room, without moving away from its focus on food and the surrounding landscape.

Private functions and special occasions can be hosted at the venue, with the Knysna Heads setting providing a backdrop for celebrations and group events. The restaurant suits couples planning an intimate meal, visitors marking a special occasion and diners wanting a meal with lagoon and ocean outlooks. Reservations are part of the experience, as bookings are required for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Located in The Heads area of Knysna, 2 Stories is a destination restaurant and theatre rather than a town-centre dining stop. The venue accepts major credit cards, and a service charge is added to bills. Corkage is available for guests bringing a bottle, subject to the venue’s stated terms. Contact with the restaurant or the accommodation reception team can confirm current arrangements before a visit.
