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 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

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.

Awesome little breakfast spot. Delicious eggs Benedict & will definitely be back for the spinach & feta omelette. Also surprisingly reasonably priced (shhh, don't tell everyone...). Only downside was the coffee (no one likes a "flou" flat white)!

Been for: Breakfast (served til 12)
Ambience: 💠💠💠💠💠 - - So close to the beach that you'll feel the sea spray. Stunning view of Table Mountain from the outside seating area.
Food: 💠💠💠💠 - - The breakfasts are great. I had the bacon, mushroom and mozzarella omelette, served with a small rosti ball and hollandaise sauce. The omelette is light and packed with fillings to keep you going during that walk along the beach that you can't help but take after an indulgent breakfast.
Value for Money: 💠💠💠💠💠 - - Very well priced breakfast menu. Most breakfasts are ~R55-65.
Service: 💠💠💠💠 - - Friendly and attentive service.

I have been to this little hidden gem 3 or 4 times and I have never left disappointed. I love the outside sitting area - facing the majestic table mountain and literally on the rocks. I love the sea breeze and the smell of the beach. The view is soothing, calm and picturesque. This place is ideal for a laid back lunch with friends on a sunny Saturday or Sunday afternoon.The waiters are detail orientated, attentive and quite friendly. The services is well orchestrated. Their food takes long though, prepare to wait on average 30 or more minutes for your food to be served.Luckily it is worth the wait and it gives you time to enjoy your drink of choice- in my case my bubbly and take in the beauty. I had so many dishes at this establishment and have enjoyed each. I had West Coast oysters and I paired them with  Methode Cap Classique (MCC)
Graham Beck Brut.My sister had Patagonia calamari tubes, they were prepared well and not rubbery. The flavours were eminent yet balanced. she paired this with Haute Cabriere Chardonnay Pinot Noir.My other favourite is their seared tuna, very smooth and made to perfection. I will also recommend the Mussels and heirloom tomato; that is a divine dish.
For mains, I miss their Lamb shank- they took it off the menu. I, however had their Lamb shoulder, that was some funky dish. Different flavours, very dramatic and yet they married well on the palate. It is sensual and I would recommend it to a person who loves flavour fusions.
My sister and her partner had  Rolled Pork Belly. This is a winner, simply delicious and very well balance. Outstanding dish, this was. We paired all our mains with Rupert and Rothschid classique. Her other all time favourite  is their sea bass.It is a very well prepared dish, a classical case of "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication".
Their desserts are magical, absolute heaven, not too sweet and  not too complex. They are smooth and subtle. I am not a dessert person but these, I can never leave without having them. Little temptation!!!.
I had all the desserts on their new 2017 menu... ohhh not at the same sitting. On this particular day my sister had the crème brule- her reaction after her first spoon was priceless... that look of complete satisfaction. Utter happiness. I had warm dark textures of chocolate
cake and spiced plums.... I am lost for words. I will do this tasty, creamy, flawless dessert injustice if I even begin to try. All I can say is "Please try it". My sister's partner had Lydia's baked cheese cake and all he could do was mutter the following " smooth, heaven must be like this" We laughed!  All we can say is CheckMate

One of my favourite restaurants in Blouberg!
This restaurant is a great place to sit outside on the deck, and enjoy amazing cocktails with friends.
We ordered a crème brulee last time, and the presentation was absolutely stunning - which was made even better by an amazing taste!
You sit right by the water, and hear the waves crashing "on the rocks" right below. On a clear day, you can see the beauty that is Table Mountain.
The staff have always been friendly, and other than slow service on some days, there is nothing else I could speak negatively about.

This place is one of the few places in the blouberg area with a bit more of an upmarket feel, which is a nice change from the usual beach style relaxed dining.
The staff follow the menu, a touch of class without being too pretentious.
I love the outdoor area where you can sit and watch the waves crash against the rocks right next to you.
Just be careful if it's a windy day!
I'd say visit here for a special occasion or maybe a date 😉

Stunning view, but lacking in service. We only ordered drinks, I ordered a Haute Cabriere Pinot Noir chardonnay waitress at first did not know if any was in stock and then came back and served me a glass of Iona. When I asked the waitress what it was she served me as it wasn't what I ordered, she did not know and had to check with the barman. I ordered a pierre jourdan haute cambriere instead. Waitress apologised and She was very sweet, just not au fait with the menu. Also we were not asked if we would like to eat anything. 😞 very sad service as it wasn't busy on a mid morning Friday.

On the Rocks is undoubtedly Blouberg's gem in terms of fine dining. They have been around for as long as I can remember and, in my experience, the quality and service have been consistently excellent. Although they lean more towards the expensive side, they offer an elegant, silver service, fine dining experience, which includes attentive staff and meals that are always perfectly prepared. Expect classic seafood dishes and continental European cuisine, and a spectacular view of the coast. True to its name, the restaurant is quite literally positioned on the rocks, making it ideal for special occasions (and impressing foreigners). 

I recently celebrated my birthday here, and it was a truly memorable experience. Along with some complementary still-steaming bread buns and farm butter, we indulged in the most fresh and meaty West Coast oysters. This was followed by rich and hearty main meals which included the slow braised lamb shoulder, marrow-crusted beef fillet and Cape Malay seafood curry. Thereafter we indulged in decadent and beautifully presented desserts of Cape brandy  pudding and creme brulee. My only area of critique is that the service could have been slightly more efficient. A lovely experience nevertheless.

Setting, style, service and stature, this place offers it all in abundance.

The heavy damask table linen, wrought-iron chairs and fynbos in the bathroom basins all add to the olde world charm. Add the postcard view of Table Bay and Mountain and the sea breezes, and you have the perfect setting for a brisk business breakfast, languid lunch or perfect dinner party.

Wish we could visit more often.

We had a superb lunch for a work colleague's farewell on a perfect Autumn afternoon.  Lovely modern chic decor with an awesome view over the sea to Robben Island in one direction and Table Mountain the other. It is literally ON THE ROCKS! For a large group I was amazed how good the food was with us all dining at the same time.  My fillet was awesome, slightly more medium than the medium rare I asked for but so tasty with chicken liver/bone marrow topping.  I also chose to have a deliciously gooey chocolate fondant that literally melted as you broke it open - YUMMY!  I would love to go back again, next time for sundowners on the deck as I imagine sunset is spectacular from there.

It was my first time at on the rocks. On arrival they hadn't changed our booking in which we called to change the time to two hours later , thankfully they could accommodate us. The service was terrible but I guess it is Cape Town which according to me is no excuse for bad service. The food was good . I had muscles for starters and shared a seafood platter. Besides for the service it was a good overall experience.

In terms of placement and a somewhere to have dinner, this place exceeds in both areas. On the Rocks in blouberg is a gem. Rump steak, lamb shank and a seafood platter for two was the order of the day. Rump was tender, lamb was falling apart and the seafood was fresh. Service was friendly and the waiter knew his menu. I would recommend this place to anybody who is looking for a place to chill out and have sundowners or enjoy a fantastic meal. Either way you will be doing it 20ft from the atlantic ocean.

I just have to say a very big THANK YOU to Wayne and Jason at On The Rocks. I celebrated my birthday there last Sunday. We had 18 guests in total. Wayne ensured that everything was in order before we arrived. We had great views, and the table looked very special. The whole occasion ran beautifully. Jason was absolutely superb with his service and outstanding customer rapport. Everyone's breakfast arrived at the same time, and the food was just delicious. Every plate was presented beautifully. The music was outstanding - in fact the whole experience made it my best birthday ever. My guests left very satisfied and with lovely memories. Wayne and Jason - thanks so much.

We had a wonderful lunch at On the Rocks. The view is unbelievable making it the perfect lunch time spot!
For starters I had an amazing baked brie dish! The oysters were also another popular order. We had a great rump steak for main course but it was a little overdone.

Dessert was a little disappointing. We ordered the crème brulee with a really perfect crème but unfortunately the sugar on top was not a bit close to being a brulee. The top was just granules of sugar and not caramelised at all.

A few years back, my husband had some colleagues down from Germany of which one is crazy about seafood. We heard great things about On The Rocks so decided to take them here. We had a great time. The food was delicious! My husband's colleagues ordered the seafood platter and we ordered from the a la carte menu. I would however, say that this a place for special occasions because the seafood platter alone cost R1000. Its probably much more now. Having said that, the service was impeccable and the experience was decadent ☺

We visited this stunning location for an impromptu lunch today - wow wow wow!

The service was out of this world, from the time we walked in to the time we walked out. Our waitress gave us the best service I think I've ever received. The food was impeccable - 3 deep fried cheese balls for starters, which were perfectly crispy and not at all oily. I had the duck as my main (which was so soft and moist on the inside and beautifully caramelized on the outside) and the roast veggies and infused rice were simply lovely. My dad had the lamb - so soft and moist that it came straight off the bone (YUM). My sister had the crumbed calamari - perfectly seasoned and cooked and not at all oily or rubbery.

For dessert we shared a creme brûlée (possibly the best I've ever had) and a berry panna cotta (incredibly more-ish).

All the food was presented beautifully and the portions were more than fair. Awesome value for money!

5 star service. 5 star food. 5 star experience. Well done, On The Rocks!

I think the best thing about this restaurant is that it is On the rocks. Being a nature girl and livening the beach, it is awesome to dine so close to the beach. They also have a outside light which lights up the beach so you can see it at night.

The food was very delicious - I loved how the calamari was prepared. The steak was also yummy and big portion.

They also have a winter special which I think is good - R300 for 2 people for 3 course meal.

A firm favourite! A place of special sentimental significance where I married the love of my life.
The function coordinator was so organised efficient and professional that she was a pleasure to deal with and all ran smoothly. Its a place that my spouse and I visit often due to the significance it has to us.
However it is always very much enjoyed.
The décor is superb, ambience extremely pleasant be it breakfast lunch or dinner! The food is always very good and presentation magnificent. This restaurant is really in its own league - its a special occasion place, a place to hold a special function or event and definitely a place that is classy elegant and sophisticated.
The setting and location alone sets it apart as a firm favourite. Set on Blouberg beach literally "on the rocks" allows one to feast ones eyes on the majestic mountain, the ocean and the world famous Robben Island.
Im never disappointed by the sole or the fillet steak. However its a great breakfast place too. Certainly a place to unwind first with sundowners outside on the deck where there are wooden bench tables and chairs. Smarter fine dining sets the inside tone.
Its an excellent choice for breakfast - Ive been through most of the breakfast menu and thoroughly enjoyed whatever I have had.
Consistent and reliable - never disappoints. A place to propose or a place to impress!
A favourite for sure!

We live in Blouberg, so have been to On The Rocks on several occasions. It's not cheap, but then again, it's not somewhere you'd go every day. The location is just incredible and you are literally ON THE ROCKS, with the waves crashing almost by your feet. Service and food is fantastic too.

These peeps are a bit on the pricey side with their dinners which yes the times that I have had dinner there was fantastic but there are other places in the area with great views that have the same dishes for a little less!

However it is a completely different story when it comes to their breakfast menu! They have absolutely amazing breakfasts for really great prices! I would recommend them for the brilliant view 1st thing in the morning and a very yummy breakfast! We have never had bad service there not even when we are the 1st customers of the day! On the rocks is another one of my favourite places that make just the perfect Eggs Benedict for my taste.

BONUS POINTS: Great wedding venue too!

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!

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.

Absolutely divine dining experience. This is truly a gem of a restaurant. Great for socializing and meet-ups. But the highlight is the culinary experience. Ordered the clam chowder soup for starters which was amazingly rich, the lamb for mains and my colleague ordered the kudu both if which were incredibly well-plated and delicious. For dessert, we had the creme brulee, also rich even though I’m not a dessert guy. Overall a very pleasant night.

Breakfast was amazing, everything was very fresh and delicious and value for money. Hot beverages was definitely tops and what made it more Better was the quick service from the waiter and the stunning view. Would definitely be returning again, highly recommended.

There are classy seaside establishments, and then there is On the Rocks. Professionally managed with engaged and attentive staff. Good food in more than adequate quantities. All food is well prepared and attractively presented. Hold on to your manager and give him a big pay rise because he captains a fine ship.

Fantastic view and the deck is right up on the ocean. You can literally feel the spray from the waves. Food was great and our waiter was spot on. Exactly what we were looking for.
