Welcome to Sotto. Where Mediterranean meets modern Plett

There’s a new flavour lighting up the Plettenberg Bay dining scene — and it’s called Sotto. Nestled beneath The Surf Café in the Beacon Isle Convenience Centre, Sotto isn’t just another restaurant. It’s a bold celebration of Mediterranean cuisine, spiced with Middle Eastern soul and grounded in the laid-back luxury of coastal living.

From the moment you step inside, Sotto sets the tone: warm wood, sunlit textures, and aromas that pull you in like a familiar hug. Whether you’re a Plett local or passing through on coastal holiday, this is the kind of place that feels like it was made just for you.

More Than a Restaurant — It’s a Lifestyle

Sotto offers a multi-faceted experience that mirrors the best of Mediterranean living — communal, casual, and effortlessly elegant. It’s where long brunches turn into sunset cocktails, and quick deli stops still manage to feel indulgent.

• Restaurant: Think silky hummus, grilled halloumi, seared fish, and seasonal harvest bowls — all crafted with fresh, local ingredients and an eye for bold, balanced flavour.

• Lounge: Sip on a craft cocktail or a botanical spritzer while relaxing into a plush booth with ambient tunes and good company.

• Deli & Takeaway: On the move? Grab a barista-made coffee, a superfood smoothie, or a focaccia sandwich stacked with colour and crunch. It’s wholesome food designed for a busy life — but never boring.

Open Early. Open Late. Always Welcoming.

Sotto opens its doors every day at 7am, ready with warm pastries and strong espresso, and keeps the energy alive well into the evening. Whether you’re fuelling up before a beach walk or winding down after a long day, you’ll find your rhythm here.

This is food you can feel good about — generous, grounded, and made with purpose. There’s a hint of spice in the air, a softness to the light, and a sense that, at Sotto, you’re always in good taste.
