In George, the seasonal tourist flow from Knysna, the Outeniqua Pass, and the nearby coastline sustains a more varied restaurant scene than the population alone would support. The city has a significant retirement community that sets a high baseline expectation for service quality and consistency. For the best local character, the smaller restaurants in the historic CBD around Market Street tend to be more authentic than the mall options.
