4.4 / 5.0(760 reviews)
My husband and I came in for a quick dinner. Upon entering the building, the first thing we noticed was the very pleasant and clean interior. The atmosphere is calm and the staff is very pleasant and polite. We were a bit upset about the food, my husband is a chef and we were expecting high hopes for such pleasant atmosphere upon entering. I got the pumpkin pasta and my husband ordered the salmon linguine. Both dishes were lacking salt, and some of the flavors in the dishes were interesting. As a garnish in the salmon linguine there were dried beets? Unusual. And there were dried beets in my pumpkin pasta as well (which worked well with the flavors so no problem) I’m not sure if the kitchen just uses the same garnishes on a lot of their dishes and that’s why two vastly different plates had the same garnishes? Not sure. Besides that we had a pleasant experience! The oysters here are incredibly plump and delicious, and the abalone risotto is absolutely amazing, the sauce is so rich and flavorful! It was so good that I ended up coming back every night during my two days in Swakopmund. Can’t wait for the next opportunity to visit Namibia and eat here again! Beautiful restaurant, lovely interior and kind service. Food is great, one of the best restaurants in Swakopmund. Delicate food that isn’t too fussy. Oysters were some of the best I’ve had in Namibia so far. A little disappointing at the end when the server had some attitude over not receiving the tip in cash. But highly recommend a visit.

Well worth the visit. Solid atmosphere, wonderful view, food was great, cellar too! Star off for service. We ordered sparking water, they brought still and when we realized it they didn’t offer to replace it. Also, no one came to ask if we wanted desert once we had finished our meal - it was like the staff lost interest in us for some reason. Other than that - lovely outing.
