Mariner's Wharf is Southern Africa's very first Harbourfront emporium, operating since 1984.
The upstairs restaurant, The Wharfside Grill is regarded as one of Africa’s best seafood restaurants, not only for its authentic harbourside ambience and spectacular bay views, but because of the amazing food it serves, including lobsters, mussels, prawns and innovations like Calaprawnia, Houtbaisse and Fisherman’s Baskets.
Although seating more than 350 diners when full, privacy does not take second place. There are also six private dining cabins themed to seafaring history and famous ships, such as the Queen Mary, Shipwreck and those of the Union-Castle line which frequented the Cape.
Mariner's Wharf is also home to the Wharfette Bistro, for takeaways and The Fishmarket for the freshest variety of fresh and frozen seafood including our famous smoked fish, as well as The Liquor Locker for a wide range or spirits, wines and beers. Meander through our Shipwreck shop for nautical artefacts and memorabilia or take home a souvenir from Mariner's Chest or the Pearl Factory, where you can choose an oyster to find a beautiful pearl.
