About
Here at the greek fisherman, we are proud of our roots, so expect traditional greek and mediterranean dishes. But, we also believe in moving with the times, so we've added a modern twist to our otherwise classic menu. Our cuisine includes greek & seafood specialities and we are famous for our greek meze, our souvla (spit roast) and our stunning lamb in the oven. Choose from over 20 meze, starters and tapas! Established in 1992, the greek fisherman is one of the original restaurants in the v&a waterfront and is still owned by the same owners as when the victoria wharf, waterfront opened in 1992. Take a seat and get a glorious view of table mountain while you enjoy delicious seafood and meats

Mediocre food. Prawns tasted like they had been cooked & then re-heated so they were actually overcooked. Mussels were small and tough. There are much better places to eat in Cape Town.

The restaurant offers a large courtyard, centered around a fountain for al fresco dining. They offer fresh seafood and authentic Greek cuisine operating since 1992. You can taste the flavors of the Mediterranean with charcoal grills, tender Calamari, prawns, sardines, and Kingklip. I enjoyed my...meal and service.More

With lovely outdoor seating in the heat of summer, this experience was very pleasant. The food was not excellent but was still one for the books. If you are looking for a halal friendly restaurant that serves up some mean Greek food, then this isn't...a bad place to start.More

The worst place to eat food. My food was cold, the portion was small for the price paid and the staff’s attitude and energy was incredibly unprofessional. The manager took a long time getting my refund to me and I was interrogated with why I...wanted a refund, when I clearly stated that my food was cold. I would NOT recommend this restaurant at all.More

Incredible, authentic Greek food for cheap money. We had lunch with drinks and only $22.00 USD. The service was perfect. The outdoor atmosphere was an A. The location was great to walk around Camps Bay and to Clifton Beach. The mussels with feta cheese is...a must and the gyros are a must. I would highly recommend. A do not miss while in Cape Town.More

Fabulous sticky slow cooked lamb! Lovely crispy zucchini - what a combo! Sat on a gentle, autumn afternoon next to the trickling fountain and had a superb long lunch. Highly recommended!

We went today the second time to the restaurant. The first time we had the line fish and it tasted like it was prepared when it was still frozen. We gave it another chance because it could have been a bad day and we really...like the outside seating. Today we had starters and chicken souvlaki. It tasted old, was flavourless and overpriced. I do not understand where all the positive reviews come from. The Greek stand in Moyo Market has better food.More

We enjoyed sitting outdoors in the lovely courtyard enjoying perfectly prepared beef souvlaki and perfectly grilled lamb chops. We enjoyed chatting with the kitchen manager who circulated amongst the guests. Our server, Mondli was efficient, friendly and knowledgeable about the items on the menu. We...learned his name means taking care of people in Zulu and he sure took good care of us. In all, a fabulous experience.More

Lovely ambiance and great location in Sea Point. Good choice for vegetarians and the platter allows you to sample their food on one plate. Great fire - we went in the winter and both meat and vege food was nicely plated. Good choice for families...too.More
