Cape Town Waterfront Seafood Dinner

About This Activity

Cape Town sits at the confluence of the cold Benguela Current and the warmer Indian Ocean, creating some of the richest fishing grounds in Africa. The V&A Waterfront's restaurants serve the fruits of these waters: West Coast rock lobster (crayfish), yellowtail, Cape snoek, and fresh linefish — typically at prices far below equivalent quality elsewhere in the world. Karibu, The Codfather, and Den Anker are perennial favorites. Sit outside for harbor views and the chance to see seals playing below the restaurant decks. The working fishing boats unloading their catches at the quay a short walk away make the whole scene utterly authentic.
