“Great Dinner and Terrific Service”

The Greek Fisherman
Ranked #54 of 1 117 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.

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.

I brought my parents here and it was their favourite place they ate in Cape Town - great fresh fish cooked simply and great service - Mondli was so attentive, friendly and made the whole experience so easy. Would recommend to all!

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.

The seaf food platter was mouth-watering! The calming tunes in the background and the courtyard with all its ambience, left us with and out-of-country experience. Felt like we were in mini Greece for a while! Gency our waiter and manager, Eddy, was warm and welcoming, made us feel so at home. Forever memorable!
