“BoodyRocco Greek”

The Greek Fisherman
Ranked #55 of 1 108 Restaurants in Cape Town Central
Description: 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 grilled over open charcoals.

The restaurant is conveniently located on the upper level of the V & A Waterfront Mall. The food was very good and the service was also good. The food did take some time to arrive but this is understandable considering that this was an extremely busy week-end with the Federer/Nadal charity tournament. The ambiance was good and the restaurant is tastefully decorated.

This place is amazing. From the service to the quality of food and efficiency I really can not find fault. The fillet steak was so tender we could have cut it with a spoon.
Friendly staff and spotlessly clean. We will be returning before we leave Cape Town.

Having a fantastic location with views to die for definitely adds to the experience.

The prawn starter was great served with really delicious rice.
The Haloumi starter with their quince jelly was just tooooo yummy

A party of 4 adults and two children as well as a toddler this was a perfect venue

They cater for vegetarians and vegans!

Their food is wholesome food quality and obviously Greek.

And of course their baklava is heavenly... try a bit of ouzo on a hot day...

Probably best to book especially in season over the festive period.
