💡 Tips before you go
- Ask for a glass of chilled Pinotage to cut through the richness of the seafood platters.
- Order the oysters on the half shell with lemon and chili sauce, but skip the heavy sauces if you want to taste the briny ocean flavor.
- Visit during sunset when the Bo-Kaap neighborhood is bathed in golden light and the sea breeze cools your meal.
