Why Travelers Love Cape Town
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Food was plentiful and really tasty. We had the chicken wings and salmon grande for starters, then a sharing platter, all very good but sadly could not finish. Beautiful setting and great to have live music whilst we ate, although a little quieter would have been better. Such a lovely evening, thank you Thomas for your good service 😀. Favorite restaurant in stone town! Adam was a great server. Thomas was so helpful and for the food out so fast for our large and hungry tour group! This was a great lunch. We’ve been many times and will continue to come back!! Absolutely love the popcorn shrimp! Highly recommend!! Really nice place with great food. After two weeks of sub-par food in Tanzania this was a great find. Even if we sticked to our familiar cuisine. Everything was delicious and together with the view and the fab service, we were very pleased.

Really nice atmosphere and staff was amazing, especially Juma! We had a great time and the food was great. Good variety of beers. We were not disappointed for being here 3 times.

Cape Town Fish Market never disappoints! The food is always fresh and very tasty. I highly recommend the chicken schnitzel and the fish & chips – they’re always on point. The garlic bread is a great side, and the passion fruit juice is refreshing and perfect to go with the meal. Definitely a spot worth visiting if you want good food and great flavors!
