Miller's Thumb Restaurant

Miller's Thumb Restaurant is a seafood restaurant in Gardens, trading from a converted home that keeps its original cosy, character-filled feel rather than a purpose-built dining room. The kitchen builds its menu around fresh seafood, including fish, crustaceans and calamari, and extends into seafood curries carrying Asian and spicy influences rather than a plain grill-and-fry approach.

The restaurant has operated on Kloof Nek Road since the 1990s, making it one of the longer-running seafood addresses in the area, and it offers both sit-down dining and pavement pick-ups for those in a hurry. Dinner service runs most evenings, with a shorter lunch service served on weekdays. It suits diners who want a seafood-focused menu with a bit more spice and variety than a typical fish restaurant.
