Knor Varkie sits upstairs at De Palm Lifestyle Centre in Britannica Heights. Grab a table on the deck and look out over the bay, or come inside to the bar for the rugby, a cocktail and a plate of something good.

It’s a place for everyone: sports fans, families, cocktail lovers and anyone who wants seafood, burgers, pizzas or a steak at a fair price.

We’re the St Helena Bay sister of Knor Varkie Laaiplek and the RiverShack on the Berg River.
