Mariner's Wharf Harbour Front Emporium

We were on the hop on hop off bus and got off here having heard amazing things about the fish and chips. It really didn’t disappoint at all. I could sit here and eat box after box of fish and chips. The view is amazing even though this was a particular cold and wet day. Highly recommend.

I went on the red bus tour in Capetown and dropped off at the Marinas Wharf for late lunch. This was at around 4 pm, and the last bus stop for the tour. It next to the ocean and has a beautiful view. The restaurant has a fast foodie vibe, and you queue to place an order. If it's busy, you'll queue for more than 20 minutes like we did. The fish and fries were delicious, as for the calamari, not my thing 🤮 The restaurant has a fast foodie vibe, and you queue to place an order.

The Wharf Side Grill, located at the picturesque Mariners Wharf Harbour is the perfect spot to unwind, enjoy delicious food, and take in the beauty of the surroundings. While there was a brief 20-minute wait before our waiter, Herman, came over, it was absolutely worth it. Once he greeted us, he completely turned our day around with his exceptional service. Herman made a point to check in on us every 15-20 minutes, ensuring we were comfortable and had everything we needed. His attentiveness was genuinely remarkable and truly elevated the experience. The food was nothing short of amazing. Every dish was as fresh as could be, and it was clear that quality ingredients were used in every bite. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the presentation was top-notch. We could tell the kitchen takes great pride in its offerings.

Did a City Sightseeing tour and stopped off at the Wharf for some fish and chips. It was absolutely divine! It was a generous helping of crispy fish and chippies.

Best fried fish I’ve ever had. The chips were bit soggy, but the fish was amazing. I inhaled it and almost went back for a second piece.

I enjoyed the seafood mix so much. The chilli atchaar was also very good. The platter was more than enough for two people and included a great selection of seafood - hake, calamari, prawns & crab sticks, and chips. We stood in the queue for about 30 minutes and then a further few minutes waiting for the food, but it was well worth the wait. It was delicious, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall experience was authentic. I totally enjoyed it.

This is an iconic place. Not only for the food but the views but the fact that they have been there forever. We had some beer and a cocktail and a vegetarian dish with mushrooms and vegies in a philo basket and mushroom and spinach sauce and it was scrumptious. Really good!

I waited 40mins in the queue, it was super busy. Hake and Snoek and chips did not live up to the hype, batter was okay but oily. Seating area is good and easy access to the beach. I was so hungry I didn't get a chance to take a picture.
