    Always a pleasure to eat here. Although it was a very busy day, with a long queue, we were sitting at a table and had our lunch within 30 minutes. Very friendly staff, loved the atmosphere. Even toilet was clean. One suggestion: maybe have a cleaner or two on duty to clean tables immediately when people leave. Sweeping the floor will also add to get a 5 star grading.

    Delicious fish and chips. We got the snoek and yellow tail and both of them were really good. Friendly service and fairly quick turn around. Lots of seating outside, although I'm guessing it gets pretty busy on the weekends. Just watch out for dinner bones in the fish (they should be easy to find).

    Best fish I've had in a very long time. Their Chips I am not so much a fan of. Portion is small compared to what I am used to for the price... But the fish alone makes it worth it. It can get very busy but the food is worth the wait. Seating is available but you need to make sure you grab the first open seat possible or you gonna be standing. Views are stunning as it's right on the water's edge with Chapmans peak on the opposite side. You also have a gorgeous view of the bay and the old canons are right at hand for some fotos.

    Fresh and delicious fish n chips, right on the harbour with great views over the bay. Be sure to go hungry to make the most of the generous portions! The hake and calamari combo was excellent!

    Everything of this little place is amazing 👏🏻 We visit at least two to three times a month whenever we have urges for fresh seafood. For two people, we always order the prawn combo with hake, calamari, and chips for R230. You can request for snoek too. It's affordable, tasty, and made with love 😋 you'll understand when you order. How can we forget about the lovely seals at the site? Always a treat to watch them play in the water or even just rest by the rocks. Overall, 1000/10 for me.

    Great food, positive vibes & a view to die for.. what more could you ask for?! I had the hake, calamari & chips combo and it was amazing! I loved the hake as it had a meatiness to it that you couldn’t find otherwise. Highly recommended!

    First day in Cape Town and Friends family took me for a long drive through several very scenic and posh areas of the city like Camps Bay and Hout Bay it was a pleasure. We ate fish and chips and prawns extremely crispy and delicious. There is an Art gallery also close by saw some amazing art work

    Fresh fish cooked very tasty, snoek, hake and we also had beautifully prepared prawns. Nice sit down area, shaded from sun and possibly wind. Seals roam around and many seagulls outside the restaurant. I saw lots of security guards, not sure why. We visited during a quiet time in the evening. Sun kissed the mountain backdrop with beautiful golden colour. Take a warm jacket.

👍👍 Consistently good. Good service, good food, good atmos. Best coffee in a 'sit down' venue in Hout Bay. Ideal for breakfast if you are not looking for 'the full English' style.

👍👍 Best curry I've found in all of Cape Town. TONS of vegetarian options with a note on each page that every single one can be made vegan. Phenomenal. The beans bunny chow is incredible value for money and is a 1/3 loaf for only R80. This is Durban pricing and lends total authenticity to this great bus...
