Sotto Mediterranean Restaurant & Cocktail Lounge

Sotto Mediterranean Restaurant & Cocktail Lounge brings Mediterranean-inspired dining with Middle Eastern influences to Beacon Isle in Plettenberg Bay. The relaxed, full-service restaurant combines food, drinks and warm hospitality in a setting suited to both everyday meals and social occasions.

The menu style centres on Mediterranean flavours shaped by Middle Eastern ingredients and traditions. Mezze makes sharing part of the experience, while the broader offering provides a choice of meals across the day. Classic breakfasts are available alongside harvest-style lunches and nourishing homemade-style food, giving the restaurant a flexible role for breakfast, lunch or an evening meal.

The drinks selection includes artisanal coffee, speciality cocktails and local and international wines. Coffee also features in the daytime takeaway offering, with superfood smoothies and freshly pressed juices available for a lighter refreshment. The lounge atmosphere adds a social dimension, making Sotto suitable for relaxed drinks as well as a sit-down meal.

A deli and takeaway service extends the offering beyond the dining room. Focaccia sandwiches, muffins, cakes and other sweet treats are available for a quick bite or something to take away. Harvest-style food can also suit a beach picnic, a convenient lunch or a homemade-style dinner. This makes the venue practical for visitors exploring the Garden Route as well as for local dining in Plettenberg Bay.

Sotto is located at Shop B3 and B4 in the Beacon Isle Convenience Centre on Beacon Isle Drive. The setting is convenient for casual stops, planned meals and takeaway collection. Its combination of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavours, shared mezze, daytime coffee, cocktails, wine and deli food gives the venue a broad appeal without losing its clear regional character.
