On the Rocks Restaurant

On the Rocks Restaurant is a seafood restaurant built right on the water's edge in Bloubergstrand, with the waves breaking just below the tables and sweeping views across to Table Mountain, Robben Island and the Cape Town skyline. Diners can also watch ships entering Table Bay, and dolphins and whales are often visible from the restaurant depending on the season.

Inside, the restaurant has a Venetian fireplace decorated with Greek mythology inscriptions, and a separate whiskey and cigar lounge keeps the main dining area smoke-free for other guests. The combination of the setting and the detail that has gone into the interior makes it a popular choice for a special meal rather than a quick bite. It trades from 45 Stadler Road in Bloubergstrand.

It suits local diners and visitors after a memorable waterside meal, particularly around sunset when the views over Table Bay are at their best.
