About this spot
Dine on the historic V&A Waterfront with views of Table Mountain while enjoying classic international plates like seared scallops and slow-roasted lamb chops. The open-air setting makes this a perfect spot for sunset cocktails, though you'll need to book ahead as tables fill quickly during peak tourist hours.
💡 Tips before you go
- Arrive before 6:00 PM to secure a table with an unobstructed view of the harbor.
- Order the house wine by the glass rather than the bottle to maximize your budget for fresh seafood.
- Ask the server about daily specials, as the menu often features locally sourced fish caught that morning.
