Île de Païn in Knysna re-opens
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, so has Île de Païn* restaurant on Thesen Island, which burnt down in May last year – more beautiful than ever. The local and regional community, swallows (those who live here only part of the year) and international visitors were devastated when the fire claimed this iconic restaurant, and are now equally thrilled to see it open again. Last week, on Tuesday morning, November 8, the doors where opened quietly to guests who "assumed" the opening date as well as to casual passersby, and the line has not broken since.
