Going to start this review with the dessert. Best Malva Pudding hands down in Cape Town. Just pure deliciousness. We ordered 3 between 6 of us and literally after one bite, we ordered another 3 as we all wanted our own. The vibe here was probably one of the best we've experienced in Cape Town. The restaurant was lovely with everyone having a great time, choosing their seafood, knowing it's going to be cooked to perfection. The concept of the restaurant was fantastic. You have a sushi counter to order and a conveyor belt that you can pick the freshly prepared dishes. Then in the main restaurant you choose the seafood you wont to eat and it all comes with a great selection of veg, rice & chips. We got talking to the manager / co-owner, Dillip, who was lovely. Humble and full of pride of what the restaurant delivers, it's quality and a place for those that want a great relaxed atmosphere can enjoy. All staff we interacted with were lovely and I couldn't express how well we were treated. Definitely recommend this place for fantastic food.

Located in the Camp Bay area, this spot offers fresh seafood and excellent service. You can purchase seafood on-site, and they’ll cook it for you right away. The lobsters are a bit different from the ones we're used to, but they were incredibly tasty. It’s best to make a reservation if you want a table. We didn’t have one, but fortunately we managed to get seats at the sushi bar—though it was a bit hectic. Overall, delicious food, a great atmosphere, and warm, welcoming service.

Great quality fish and seafood! Very friendly staff and good service! Love the concept with no menu och you’re taken to the “seafood bar” and make your own selection. Delicious sides as well. Quite expensive for South Africa but worth it given the quality!

An institution! The waiters were all super friendly. You go to the counter and there is a huge selection of seafood that you choose and you can try a bit of everything as they weigh it. The seafood was all cooked to perfection, you can tell why this restaurant has been around for so long. I can't wait to come back for the grilled calamari, that was my fave!

High quality seafood with an original “no menu” concept. The place feels exclusive without being pretentious or uncomfortable. The choice of wine is extensive and staff recommended a good option for us. Not the cheapest option in town but really good value for the quality of the food, especially coming from London…
