My partner and I were there last night for dinner, and it was spectacular beyond anything we have ever had prior.
From the service to the view, the entire ambience of the place is warm and inviting, and the servers do not rush you to leave in any way, allowing for a more relaxed state of being as the food arrives.
Now for the food... I am and remain convinced that you have no mere man in the kitchen as a Chef because no mortal could have prepared and placed the food that we enjoyed last night. Your Chef is more than an artist of culinary delights, he specializes in sorcery as well and has somehow managed to capture the taste of perfection.
I had the steak with the marrow topping and a wonderfully crisp bottle of white wine that was as well selected as the restaurant. For dessert? I don't actually have words adequate enough to describe the experience but I'll try.
I've never before had food give me goosebumps or a feeling akin to painful pleasure. Music has certainly moved me to goosebumps and near tears of joy, but never food. Not until this cheesecake. The taste was exquisitely amazing, and I'm certain that it is what joy must taste like if it were food. It left the most delightful aftertaste that persisted long after having finished (sadly) the last bite.
At the end of the evening, when we wanted nothing more than to pass along the happiness received from this lovely place, and its people - we were even offered a chance to meet this magician behind the scenes in the kitchen, alas he was understandably busy... but I bet the Wizard of Oz is not meant to be seen. ;)
If anyone else is reading this wondering if this is the place to go for dinner or any other meal... I can't stress enough how wonderful the restaurant is, from the view of the mountain and her clouds that pour off the top, the rocky coast and beach, and an uninterrupted view of the sun as it dips below the water... everything here is combined so perfectly that this place is a fully sensory delight that you will never top again.
Had a great dining experience , quite simple menu that doesn't confuse you , I had the lamb and my gf had the ostrich steak it was perfectly done . Like the fact they have a fire place . We fell in love with the background music :) service was good and food arrived on time . Well done to team , def will be back .!.
This spot is beautiful. Great location and fabulous view. Management and waitstaff are helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. The food is simply excellent, perfectly plated and delicious. Pity about lockdown as a glass of wine would round off the perfect night out.
Had a great breakfast here. Staff are friendly and setting is beautiful.
Had a great experience at On the Rocks. Excellent setting, prices were very good and great value, and service brilliant When we ordered, Blessing, our waiter, warned us food may take a while due to a large group, which I always appreciate knowing in advance, yet the food arrived very quickly. Good quality breakfast and couldn’t fault a thing Definitely on the list to frequent more often!

Having lived in the area for years, I can’t believe I have not been to On The Rocks before. But while my dad was here visiting recently, my wife suggested it (after going her dad a few months ago and having a great breakfast) and we decided to give it a go. It’s such a nice venue with some of the best views of table mountain I’ve ever seen. The staff are absolutely amazing and the food is great, too! We had coffee, tea and a number of different breakfast options, all of which were tasty and went down a treat. We al cleared out plates and left full to the brim ready to take on the day.
Just gorgeous. Amazing view, excellent service and good breakfast. What more can one ask for.
Bf eggs benedict was perfect; he was very excited saying it was the first place we've gone to that made it right. Like a kid in a candy shop. Making me watch each egg as he cut into it so the egg oozed. He also like the creamed spinach instead of the normal wilted ones. The poor guy had a food orgasm and even considered ordering a second plate.
Mine was good too, nice pork bangers. Eggs perfect
Looking forward to going for lunch or dinner
Edit: those potato balls instead of just 1 I'd like all. JK 2more wouldve been nice
Excellent!
Our waiter was fantastic - remembered who ordered what and he had a great sense of humor too.
Food - was delicious! Everyone enjoyed their meal. Aged rib eye, pork rack, seafood curry, lamb shoulder. Very very good. Food came in a timely manner and was presented well too.
Lovely setting with the view of Table Mountain.
Beautiful day on a beautiful deck. Our table was basically on the rocks, what a good spot! Food was good in some ways and not so special in others. The mains were the best, with very tender meat and tasty fish. Starters ok but not amazing, as well as desserts, which is a pity since it would be good to finish the meal on nice note. Still very enjoyable and the waiters are friendly and fun.
Service is always great along with the food and don't even get me started on those cocktails! Yumm yum yum! Only wish they would stock up on oysters, always finished when I get there.
Wooooow the food is 5 star!!!! We had the fish taco and the Cape Malaye Seafood Curry. Out of this world. We couldnt stop talking about how delicious the food was. Very well presented as well. A place like this is the reason why you would fall inlove with food. A must visit when you are in Blouberg.
Just loved it! The kids enjoyed the mussels and we had Malay Seafood Curry. The atmosphere and service were excellent. The food tasted exceptionally, beautiful setting and atmosphere!
I really loved the atmosphere of this place. The staff were so friendly, chatty and welcoming. Everything was presented well and it was buzzing inside in the best way. Gorgeous view of the sunset too.
I had the white wine cream mussels and my partner had the curry mussels. I found the sauces to be a little too subtle in flavour for my liking, very light but they didn't add any extra depth to the flavour of the mussels themselves. Mojitos were delicious!

We had a great time, food was delicious . Thanks to our Server George, who was committed to great service and very friendly. The fireplace created a good ambience.
Highly recommended this place for sunsets, great food and wine.
Great view, lovely atmosphere, friendly and efficient service. Cape Malay mussels had me feeling like the critic in Ratatouli. Wow!!
Wow just love this place a must visit if you in Cape Town. The food exceptional and the view really worth it. I had the best line fish with risotto. Highly recommend On The Rocks. BTW Best view of Table Mountain
Excellent, tasteful cuisine with phenomenal views of the ocean and Table Mountain.
Food was AMAZING..Definitely made up for the slow service and the fact that half the items on the menu was not available. I would definitely go back again just for the mussel cape malay curry!
A beautiful setting. We had a very pleasant breakfast and the service was good. It looks like a really nice restaurant for a lunch gathering and the patio is right on the rocks.
