Tel: 021 438 1866 |
Restaurant, Sushi Bar & Fish Market. Cape Town Fish Market is fully licensed with a fun and vibrant atmosphere. So, if you are looking for a quick sushi lunch, a romantic crayfish dinner for two or maybe just a fresh salmon steak to impress those at home, this is the place to go.
Phillip's Review (July 2007): Now here is a manager/owner who knows what the game is about. Great selection of fresh sea food or try the sushi bar. The stir fry vegetables were the best I have tasted – you could taste the flavour in every vegetable. Great combo meals to choose from & not expensive
|
| Codfather |
Tel: 021 438 0782 |
Serves seafood with special emphasis on fresh linefish and shellfish.
Phillip's Review (July 2007): Bookings essential. This is a restaurant with a difference. No menu, as the fresh fish is all priced by weight. The sushi bar (which is on a long conveyor belt) is priced according to the plate colour. Excellent attentive service. Can be pricey, but highly worth the experience of dining here. If a non-smoker, ask to be seated well away from the smoking section.

The Wharfside Grill is internationally renowned and as it straddles the Wharf´s famous fishmarket, diners are assured of the freshest ocean fare. With authentic harbour ambience, stunning views across the bay and dining cabins themed to famous ships, the Grill´s food is a delicious extra.
Phillip's Review (July 2007): Excellent setting right over the water. Eat inside or out on the deck. Great menu and not expensive. Waitress very knowledgeable. Fish and chips great. Will take some beating, along with the scenic drive from Blue Waters over to Hout Bay.

| Marika's Restaurant |
Tel: 021 438 2727 |
Marika's fare is by and large Mediterranean with a leaning towarks Greek home cooking. You should not rush your meal, and with this in mind, the table you have booked is yours for the evening. Marika's is 20 paces from Blue Waters.
Phillip's Review (July 2007): Just 2 doors down from Blue Waters is Marika and Frank's place. Nice and relaxed family run restaurant. I would recommend starting with a Meze platter, which is your choice of 5 starters. A totally unique dining experience. The baked lamb is superbly cooked. Keep room for the halva ice cream - a great finish to a wonderful meal.

| Nando’s |
Tel: 021 438 1915 |
Spicy Portuguese fare – famous for flame grilled peri-peri chicken. One of the few franchise Camps Bay restaurants worth mentioning, Nando's is unique to South Africa, and a friendly and good-humoured diner in Camps Bay. A respected establishment amongst the locals, offering large potions of original Portuguese flame-grilled chicken at the best prices. Although it is suitable for the entire family, this Camps Bay restaurant becomes a bit crowded on Sundays.
