Lighthouse Restaurant Swakopmund

July 27, 2025

Lighthouse was a pleasant surprise. It’s beachfront, but what makes it stand out is how it's slightly hidden on the corner under trees and greenery, while still giving a great view. That bit of separation gives it more privacy and a calmer vibe compared to the other restaurants along the Corniche, which are usually wide open and right in the middle of the foot traffic. I tried their grilled calamari “Lighthouse Dish” and it was genuinely excellent. Probably one of the best I’ve had anywhere. Nicely charred, tender, and seasoned just right, for the first time I had a grilled calamari which is not chewy and sticky. It didn’t feel overdone or gimmicky, just solid cooking that lets the seafood speak for itself. Service was decent and professional, and the menu leans seafood-heavy, and from what I saw, the other dishes looked well-prepared too. That said, prices are a bit on the higher side. Not outrageous, but you’ll definitely notice it, especially if you’re used to more casual spots. However, I noticed this all across Nam good restaurants, but the food quality and the setting justifies it — but it’s something to keep in mind. I’d differently go back if I'm back in the city.

Great Food and Friendly Service We recently visited this restaurant as a large group and had a wonderful dining experience. Although the wait for our food was slightly longer than expected, it was understandable given our group size. When the food arrived, it was served around the same time, ensuring everyone could enjoy their meal together. The quality of the food was excellent, and both the adults and children were highly satisfied. The service was friendly, polite, and accommodating. The staff promptly responded to our requests, including adjusting the music volume and closing windows when it got colder, all with a great attitude. Overall, we had an enjoyable meal in a welcoming atmosphere. We appreciate the attentive service and would definitely recommend this restaurant for both small and large gatherings.

Delicious seafood in a great setting! We had seafood and fish— both fresh and perfectly cooked. Friendly service and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended when in Swakopmund!

The place is nice and has friendly staff. The food is coming in massive portions, way beyond whAt could be considered a regular meal. Beware that it will likely be "heavy" food. Even the fish that was the healthiest on the menu was huge. A couple of our group took the Green Lasagna which looked delicious but came with about half a pound of melted cheese on top. We had to scoop it out to avoid a heart attack later in the day ;-). But if you are into it, I can see the attraction.

Good, well rounded restaurant with nice menu of american style bar food. Burgers, nachos, tapas, pizzas etc. Has a lovely interior as well as a nice patio to sit outside at and watch the sunset. Also quite affordable compared to some of the other restaurants on the beach. Recommend the kingclip.
