Dave and I have only been to Mossel Bay for a meal 4 times in the past 12 years, and each time we have been there we have eaten at The Kingfisher Restaurant. It is situated at The Point, and overlooks the sea and is usually very busy.
Wine
The wine list is good, with the wines separated into varietals. The wines are well priced and the house wine is available per glass or in a 500ml carafe. We chose the Flagstone Poetry Merlot 2010 (R128) as the wine is local to where we stay, and not one we have tried before. The wine was light with a nice berry finish and slightly acidic.
