Dine at Restaurant 1777 and embark on a culinary journey that blends tradition and innovation, creating a truly exceptional dining experience.

Simply sophisticated

Midweek dinners under the stars, Friday nights with friends, special occasions celebrated in style, and a delicious breakfast menu – join us for a memorable dining experience in the heart of Plettenberg Bay.

The main dining room sits in the oldest part of the hotel, in the original building constructed in 1777 as an army barracks for the Dutch East India Company before being converted into an Anglican rectory in 1869. An exquisite, centuries-old stone wall adds warmth and character to the space while the building’s heritage inspires a bistro-style menu that draws on Dutch, English and South African influences.

We had dinner at The Old Rectory and it was amazing! The food, service and overall experience were excellent. We will be returning again and again.
