We were a huge group of 13 people and each and everyone of us loved our food ...from sushi to risotto..all delicious! And 5 star service from our waitress! Highly recommend!!!
The sushi is absolutely amazing. Blowfish is my most favourite sushi restaurant. The view is spectacular. Always the last to leave and the staff never moans about that! Keep up the excellent rating!
Fantastic food and superb service from Sheree. Will definitely be back and can recommend to others.
The food was amazing. Definitely a winner the Monday special for R99.00. The service by the waiter Caryn was amazing. We will definitely be back! Thank you
The food was amazingggg!!! Great value for money!! Awesome view with a great fibe! A must visit!
Famtastic food and service! What a beautiful view! Will be back when we are in the area!
Enjoyed myself here, the food, view and service was amazing. Most definitely going back
The sunday & wednesday sushi half price deal is worth booking a spot for! Recommend this spot for sushi to everyone I know.
We celebrated my friends birthday and had lunch. We were a table if over 20 people and the restaurant was full. The service was amazing and everyone complimented the food. We will definitely return. Well done, we were there on Sunday 39th December.
Most amazing steak and that fennel apple side was bloody amazing! I can’t wait to recreate this at home and hopefully pay blowfish another visit! Delicious!
Wonderful service from our waiter who was clearly spinning it was so busy hats off to him. Sushi was tasty and great we had some off the belt and had then make us some items from the menu... delicious! I then went for the teriyaki seared tuna and omw was the heavenly, cooked to perfection with scrumptious stir fried vegetables with that slight crunch it was perfect. Will definitely be back for that! Next time I'll be eating less sushi so I can try the decadent looking desserts
Overlooking Table Mountain, this restaurant has a spectacular view. Other than the dishes on the menu, they have a wide selection of fresh fish to choose from. They are also famous for their sushi. We were a table of 12 people and the service was very good.
I confess I've only ever gone here for drinks and sushi, so I can't comment on their regular menu. The sushi is always fresh and delicious. I attended one of their sushi making classes which was both informative and fun. The barmen certainly know how to mix a great gin and tonic. Parking is a bit of an issue, but it is a lovely location on the beachfront.
Dinner was excellent . chose the Thursday night special which had 10 fresh succulent prawns and calamari and rice combo . The ambience was perfect . Tried a bottle of their Madame rose which was excellent with the seafood . The service was great and our waitress Lorraine deserves special credit . Will definitely be back .
It was my first time at Blowfish for dinner and it was amazing. The restaurant is huge and it looked like there were different parties all over the place. If you want to have a quite dinner maybe it’s not the best option. Great seafood and at great prices too.
Can’t wait to try their breakfast menu.
Late lunch 23 dec 2017.
Brilliant ambiance, great waiter, great food.
We were there 3 years ago and the food was a disaster. What a turnaround!
Chowder was best main at the table, vichyssoise and mussel pot as a close second.
Yesterday was my first visit to Blowfish. I’d been craving seafood for a while now and decided to take my parents out for lunch.
The setting of the restaurant is perfect, beautiful ocean views with table mountain framed perfectly. The restaurant itself was charming with its white and clean atmosphere.
Unfortunately all of us decided to order the same thing on the menu so I can’t really judge the other food. We had the platter for one.
Let me start by getting the “meh” out of the way. The prawns were a bit overcooked and the calamari lacked a bit of flavor. But the mussels in the creamy sauce was delicious and so was the hake. The fish actually made me wish I had ordered that instead as it tasted fresh and was cooked beautifully.
I really want to try their sushi, as it looked really good and was freshly made. Next time!
Service was fast and no errors were made.
Overall a nice a nice experience, and I will be back to try some more dishes.
Absolutely the best value seafood platters on their monday evening winter special menu, R99 for a seafood platter for two is incredible value. The mussels in the white sauce is delicious, the platter is presented as a meal for two, but i always order one for myself for a feast of delicious seafood. Their lemon butter sauce is also very good.
Great setting and wonderful ocean views of Cape Town across the bay. Been there several times before and have had consistently good experiences. Waiter was friendly and knowledgeable. Main meal for our party of 9 took quite long to arrive and the restaurant was only about half full, but the food was excellent when it did make an appearance. My grilled kingklip was well prepared and tasty. I chose the hand cut fries as a side order that was also tasty. Ended with the delicious chocolate rum fondant from their desert menu.
Came here for my mom's birthday, was my first time and was definitely not disappointed!
Amazing schezwan calamari, if you enjoy something spicy you have to try this :)
My fiance had the stuffed calamari which was equally amazing!
For mains I had the new style hake and chips, the hake it coated with crushed corn flakes.. It was delicious!
Everyone really enjoyed their meals, my fiance had the pork belly, which he raved about!! and with amazing views will definitely be back.
Blowfish has some amazing specials, so check out their website. Pretty nice sushi and platters but nothing to rave about. It's a place to go to placate seafood cravings for an affordable price. Staff are mostly friendly and polite but I did encounter one lady who wouldn't look me in the eye and a woman on the phone who was rather rude. Overall, this restaurant is alright!
I was thoroughly surprised by this place. I live in the area and had driven past many times. Their service is friendly, the fish is fresh and seasoned just right so that it remains the hero of the dish. Their fishmonger counter was such a treat! I recommend sitting by the windows at the back for views of Table Mountain. Their muscles are divine!

Returned to Blowfish after quite some time. Can remember the times we would go there on a Sunday night enjoying "eat as you much as you like" sushi.
Last night I took my colleagues to Blowfish since they craved for seafood. I ordered some sushi for starters and calamari and prawn skewers. Liked the peri-peri sauce over the calamari. Afterwards I went to the "fish counter" and ordered Bassa fish, king prawns and calamari. Oh.My.Word! It was sooo delicious!
After all these years, the food is still good, ambience awesome and a view to die for!
We have always been told that Blowfish is overpriced, so we went for the Monday might seafood platter special to try it out. We were pleasantly surprised by the prices being on par with any other Tableview restaurant. The waiters were friendly and attentive and the food and sushi was amazing and fresh! I couldn't believe what we got for a R99 seafood platter :) We will definitely be back!
Now these guys know how to make you feel welcome!! My last night in CPT and I'm so glad I spent it with you. Food was worth the money and the view makes you feel right at home. Thank you for your hospitality!! Waiter was Gerald. What a pleasant guy. All the best!

Fave spot close to home to have sushi. Amazing deal on half price days - which makes the whole experience that much sweeter - and love the restaurant's overall vibe. Plus, the view of Table Mountain is absolutely breath taking. My partner and I have been going to Blow Fish every anniversary since we moved to Cape Town five years ago. Food and cocktails are amazing. Recommended: sushi fore sure! And the Blow Fish Shandy for the cocktail lovers. Really good value for money. Additionally, we have had a few goodies off the a la carte menu - including salmon, calamari, Smoked Kassler Chops and more - all of which were tasty.
I am so upset that tonight was my first night at blowfish! Probably the best seafood I've had in Cape Town and definitely the best prawns. Good value for money and a beautiful setting. Also, the truffle parmasean mash is a must!
What a superb seafood restaurant. One can ordwr a variety of fresh fish anf prawns by a kg price. We recommend the srafoid platters.Fresh with generous portions. The mussel pot is a must. Good wine list. The close up view of table mountain is unforgetable. Sunset over Table bay a life time experience. Highly recommended.
Wonderful view.... You can sit here and feel like you are escaping to a foreign country.
Small portions of delicious food are well presented by friendly waiters. Although service is a bit slow, you can still sit and enjoy the view.
Be careful not wear slippery shoes or high heels as you might fall on their floor as warned upon entry od this restaurant. You can dress smart but casual and still comfortable.
This place is clean and of high quality.
Blow fish is in such an awesome location.
In my opinion probably one of the best views of Cape Town. You get a wonderful view of table mountain, lions head and the stadium.
Now the food... it's good but the menu of main courses is a little small. The sushi is really nice when you order off the menu but honestly the sushi special doesn't give you the choice of the best dishes.
Still a great summer spot!
R99 for a platter for 2 on a Monday is a good deal but it did not blow me away. The place was only a third full so not very busy. Food arrived warmish and rice was overcooked. The calamari was a bit rubbery. Prawns; mussels; vegetables and chips were nice. The espresso creme brulee would have been better without the added espresso because it was lovely and creamy except was quite strong in flavor. Everyone else enjoyed their meals and I had a taste of the chicken curry pasta which was really tasty. Overall service was good and friendly .
Went to this place last week Sunday for my brothers 30th bday dine , we called to make a booking they said it is essential but when we arrived at 21:00 restaurant was 30percent occupied ... food was super and tasty you feel the taste what you pay for.. waiters were quite informal and did not know what she was doing I felt like a runner serving me but after I had a chat with the waiter Her name is Kim I found out she is been doing this for past 7 years I think she should keep doing more till she knows what customers wants anyways place was huge and so much Light and bright which I don't like places with bright lights , place itself needs some attention to get looked after, for example if you look at ceiling on the dining area right behind the sushi place looks like an umbrella!it was sooo dirty dirty like dirty lol hope someone cleans it soon overall it was an nice experience .
Came to this restaurant for a buffet lunch function. The food was amazingly prepared amzinnd tasted delicious. I still have to try off the menu. The staff were all so friendly and the restaurant was clean and tidy. Even the bathrooms looked amazing upstairs. Will definitely be back to try more.
The awesome views and amazing tasting food and presentation thereof is sublime. A great place to relax sipping a glass of wine, maybe indulge in some fresh oysters. Their seafood selection is wonderful. The presentation of their dishes is a feast for the eyes and complements the palate once you delve beyond looking.

This place is close to home and we often come here for dinner and never leave disappointed.
The food is great, the view is breathtaking special when you catch the sunset on a prefect evening.
You dont always have to book but if you want a table with the view I'd suggest you phone ahead of time and make your booking.
The staff are always friendly and helpful, sometimes when I'm not sure to choose on dish I tell them the two I am stuck between and they make the recommendation :) Portion wise you get value for money and the food is always YUM. They have a sushi belt which you can go pick from or you can order off the menu. I have had their Steaks, Tuna Fillet, Risotto and sushi, as I am not one that would normally go to a fish restaurant and order steak or visa versa I can honestly say no matter what type of dish be it fish, steak or pasta, depending on your taste buds, you wont be disappointed.
Look out for their half price sushi night, delicious sushi for a delicious price.
Good Food
Good Wine
Great place
What a beautiful setting! A really awesome view of the beach while eating some of the freshest fish. For starters, the table ordered the 20piece sushi platter, which was extremely fresh and the portion sizes were substantial to share amongst 5 people. We also ordered the seafood bisque, served with crusty bread, a 250g hanger steak with fries, and the Blowfish seafood platter, which can be shared, as it comes with a good portion of hake, prawns and a crayfish. The only complaint we had, was that a few of the cocktails seemed watered down. To end off, we ordered sorbet, as they seemed like great palate cleansers. Overall we were extremely satisfied and would gladly return, especially in summer for sushi and the sunset.
Had a lovely spontaneous day out with a friend and we ended up here for a lovely warmer winter day of sushi! Love the signature sushi selection and the view is fantastic ;) the prices are a bit pricing but expected due to the superb location. We shared the Grenade, Citrus and Soy Sashimi, the Queen Roll and the Seven Spices Prawn with Inari. I drank a glass of the Pinotage Rose which was very refreshing and worked well with the sushi with a strawberry/cherry undertone. Great service and good quality. Do try it out and after lunch we had a stroll on the beach which is right there... Such a lovely place!!!
Dinner at Blowfish, what an experience... The place comes highly recommended, so my expectations were high, and I was impressed. I had the Calamari Skewer for starters and it was really good with a nice kick to it. Mains was Yellowtail for me and Norwegian Salmon for my companion and we were blown away! You pick the fish and the cut you want from the display and they prepare it for you...best fish I have ever had (anywhere). So my verdict: superb food, really good service, stunning setting. Nice wine selection as well.
Went in for a late dinner on a Monday night, seated straight away. Our waiter was very friendly but took a little bit long to take our order.
I got some speciality sushi, not badly priced, the rice was quite vinegary though. My boyfriend got the Thai chicken curry, which wasnt bad, just had a bit of a strange taste, not sure if its one of the spices used.
We will be back again.
Had the breakfast buffet at Blowfish and it was pretty good.
Lovely fresh fruit juice is brought to your table and then you help yourselves to the rest.
Decent selection of pastries and hot foods available.
Staff where pleasant and service was good.
I would have enjoyed some sliced fresh fruit or nuts on the buffet though.
It's a nice hidden gem around the blouberg beach at the dolphin beach hotel. Beautiful venue with a lot of space. The tables were spread out and the ambiance relaxed. Their sushi is well priced, nearly as good as many take aways! I ordered a lavazza coffee, it was perfect. Worth a second visit.
Great restaurant. Went there on monday and had the platter for 2 special. Only R100 and i had a feast. Our waiter was also very good. Will definitely go again and recommend it.
Fantastic spot for lunch or dinner. During Christmas we had Christmas lunch with the family. The service was amazing. the fish selection and the fish "guy" advised us well on the selection and which options would work for what. Great view of the ocean. Just a little cramped as they squashed in extra chairs to make space for everyone. And a tab pricey. But well worth it.

Patrick our waiter was very attentive, keeping track of everyone's wine, and kept us happy. They have various specials on the go at the moment, go look at the website to see what's on. I suggest you book, it's pretty busy. The seafood platter for two is on special at R99. To be honest its not very large, big meal for one, if you want to share might need a starter. They have a good wine list, but also do a R40 corkage. The food was good, and tasty. The atmosphere very festive and sophisticated. Great night out.
One of the most stunning restaurants I have been to in my life so far. Service that makes you feel at home, views to die for and to top it off, the freshest, most delicious food you could imagine!!! Need I say more!!!
A warm greeting at the door, a perfect table with a stunning view, a fantastic waiter (Kyle), scrumptious starters (calamari); juicy and generous tuna steaks, and a cheerful atmosphere. Only criticism would be the salad that was dressed with vinaigrette before it was brought to the table. That's a rookie error - they should know that a lot more people opt for balsamic and olive oil these days. But a definite option for a 2nd visit.
Wow! Great venue, friendly service, impressive menu. I had the Gnocchi... best I've ever had... And my boyfriend had the hake and chips which he thoroughly enjoyed. We will definitely be back for sushi. The Diablo cocktail is also something special and the prices are very reasonable for the quality. Adam Cannell

As far as high quality seafood restaurants go, Blowfish is undoubtedly the top competitor in Blouberg, and even beyond. The variety of freshly caught fish on offer is fairly extensive, and each seafood dish is prepared according to the specifications of the diner. However, the à la carte options are also fabulous, and the kitchen is constantly experimenting with new dishes and evolving the menu, so there are always new and exciting things to try. Of course it also goes without saying that their sushi is top-notch. To top it all off, the view from their front section is absolutely spectacular, making for the ideal sunset venue (which is also available for events or special occasions). If you want the benefits of silver service without over-the-top pretentiousness, splash out at Blowfish Restaurant.
I arrived just as the sunet behind Table Mountain, to the Dolphin Hotel in Table Bay. I was greeted with a cold glass of champagne and told to get ready to eat 24 courses. I politely laughed, they were joking, they had to be joking, right? No one was joking as course after course came out. Luckily I was armed with my elasticated waist skirt so I had enough room to expand. Honestly, I was full for a week afterwards (I am full right now just thinking about it) but still to this day I dream about their cheesecake and zebra sushi.
Fresh fish, unparalled views of Cape Town, laid back atmosphere and friendly staff make Blowfish a must visit for Sunday lunch. Kingklip was beautifully seasoned and cooked in lovelly butter sauce but was ever so slightly overcooked. Mountain Top Nouveau was simply off the charts! All in all a perfect sunday lunch spot and a stone's throw from Cape Town. Highly recommended!
I went for dinner at Blowfish. The restaurant setup is gorgeous, we were seated in the outside section. Delicious seafood, great wine, awesome company plus great service.

Sunday evening half price sushi was great, fresh and a lovely environment on the ocean! Would definitely go back and recommend a visit!
This restaurant has got to have one of the greatest views in the world! It's a bit far if you're residing in the city bowl area but it's worth the drive.
We went for a crayfish special and although still expensive, its not everyday that you can eat crayfish and gaze at table mountain when you're a student. The food was tasty and their desserts were unusual but good. Service was attentive too.
Honestly I would come back just for the view but I hear they have a great value for money sushi special which I'm keen to try out.
I've always enjoyed going to Blowfish as they always provide amazing service and they cater to your needs. The food is worth every cent spent and the view it provides is breathtaking.
The views from this restaurant are breath taking! And the decor of the restaurant is very calming. As for the food, best sea food I have had in SA. I like the idea that you can go up and choose what fish you would like to eat so you have a chance to try everything
Stunning views of table mountain, delicious food, and a very friendly waiter made for a fantastic evening out with friends. This is a lovely place to go for lunch or dinner. But, if you go for dinner, make sure to go before it gets dark so you can enjoy the stunning views. :). I had the grilled salmon and it was delicious. :)
Good fish and seafood selection and great quality sushi. Never been disappointed but it is not a top quality fine dining place. Don't get me wrong the food is well made and tasty but it's no haute cuisine.
Great restaurant with awesome service. The food was great and the they know a lot about their wine and whiskey. We had a platter and everything was fresh and tasty.
Absolutely spectacular. A MUST to visit for any seafood lover. Everything is right; food, drink, view, service. Sushi is the best and top quality. Do yourself a favour and treat yourself!
Blowfish is known for their great sushi and amazing beach views. They also have sushi-making classes! Cute little cigar room and toilets are super clean and mod.
Warm friendly greeting when you arrive. Place was relatively warm for a cool winter evening. We both decided to order steak and chips. Both cooked to our liking. Our waiter was pleasant and service was efficient and non intrusive. We decided on the brûlée and chocolate fondant for dessert. Which was nice. All in all a delightful dinner. Will go back.
I loved my experience at Blowfish!
The view was amazing. It was a warm summers early evening.. Watching the sun set and kite surfers surfing.
The sushi was amazing, very fresh, and the wine selection was perfect! The waiter wasn't too clued up on wine pairing, so we went with our gut, and made a fine choice , I'd say. If I stayed closer and it wasn't as pricey, I'd be back!

When I lived in Blouberg too many years ago, I often drove past wondering what Blowfish was like. Now years later visiting from Jozi, finally had the chance to experience it.
Lovely view of the mountain, fresh fresh sushi - btw, the spicy salmon roll is the best ever and tender juicy fillet for mains. It may look like it specialises in seafood, but it's clearly adept and surf and turf.
Ingeniously Blowfish has a load shedding menu tucked into the back of their regular menu sleeve. And it's hardly limited! While the selection is pared down when the lights go out, there's good food on it for everyone.
Best of all, was a good friend (and manager at Blowfish) to guide me. The advice on wine and mains was great, but the caramel cheesecake a la mode was sheer genius.
Our server Mustafa was on point and the food and wine was from the very top drawer. It's the stuff old friends and good times are made for.
I'm coming back. Not just to catch up, but to fill up. A sense a sushi binge in my future.
A fabulous buffet breakfast is available at Blowfish. It is real value for money and a wonderful opportunity for hosting a party.Blowfish is beautifully located overlooking Blouberg and Table Mountain.It offers fine dining for breakfast lunch and dinner.Blowfish is known for its excellent fresh sushi and fish.For those who aren't fish lovers Blowfish offers outstanding steaks. It caters for all tastes and is certainly a place that I can recommend for a special occasion.Although the menu is pricey the quality is an appropriate match. One can actually choose ones cut as well as the weight of the fish which is useful to many who are following various health restrictions.
I went to Blowfish for a family dinner and chose this restaurant on recommendation from a friend. I wasn't blown away as I had expected to be as the food was pretty average for the price you are paying. The setting and the view on the other hand are priceless. I believe that everyone deserves a second chance so I will be back to try this spot again and I hope the next experience will be better than the first.
Outstanding restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was spot on. I would recommend that before you go that you make a reservation to secure a table. If you book a table, make sure to get one by the windows, and you will have a gorgeous view of the beach and the kite surfers. The setting is semi-formal, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. I would definitely visit them again.
Blowfish Restaurant was a great experience. The food was fantastic, the service was good and atmosphere was very nice. My family and I went to Blowfish Restaurant in Blouberg for a dinner, I had the Seafood Platter for 1 and so did my son, my wife had the crayfish dish and it was absolute delicious. We had oysters for a started and it was nice and fresh, devine . Service was a bit slow and they were not very busy at the time of the evening we went but the overall experience was great. Thank you.
Tastefully decorated with excellent views. Attentive waiter and manager, great menu with fresh seafood and delicious salads. Cocktails are excellent quality, not watered down
very friendly staff. Every Monday there is a special offer of a plate of seafood (shrimps, fish, squid, mussels, salad and bulgur) for only R120. They served us our food very quickly. the place is beautiful and landscaped. I liked seeing the sunset here. I recommend booking a table in advance.
The two things I like about this little germ in Blouberg is their sushi and amazing views of the ocean and table mountain.
Take your special one and go and enjoy a candle light dinner at Blowfish. No problem if you have kids but let grannies do what they do best if you need a romantic evening with a special one.
Excellent sushi last night! Crème brûlée is fabulous too! Had salmon tuna and crab and all was lovely presentation and flavorful! Absolutely beautiful venue and perfect for a couple, a few or even a crowd for sure!!Dine in take out both are available and staff is very accommodating. Be sure to finish with coffee was very satisfying ❤️
Love the view , the vibe, the staff very attentive & bubbly .
The food good .
So enjoyed our prawns again on Thursday. We will be back! I reserve as Leslie by the way. My favourite sea food restaurant in Blouberg.
Generally had a good experience when I've visited the restaurant. Good tasty food, the sushi is good (not the best, but not bad either). Other food items on the menu are tasty though, so you should expect a good meal at good value. Got a good ambience and can be a romantic setting. Can get loud when the place is packed but otherwise it's pleasant. They sometimes have tech issues with their QR code payment system that's not intuitive and often gives an error so you'll end up paying with your card anyway. Waiters have been generally friendly.
Beautiful sea view, relaxing child friendly atmosphere. Friendly staff, our server was Val beautiful personality. Food was quick and delicious during load shedding. Highly recommended
Food is nice. Beautiful view of the ocean and Table Mountain.
I never miss the oyster and bubbly special.
There's no generator though, so during load shedding you literally have your dinner in the dark... :-(
Always nice to eat at Blowfish! The food was awesome. The ambiance was as good as ever. Unbelievable how many people are being accommodated in such a short time. I will go back there whenever I can.
Amazing food experience. Unfortunately were after sunset, otherwise must have been amazing view on the terrace. Great food experience from shots, aperitif, starters and mains. Calamari for starters - great. Seafood platter - for 1 person with sauces and chips, rice - fabulous. Really fresh seafood /fish. Recommend.
Great food tremendous service and beautiful sun set.
Always a pleasure to visit this restaurant by the sea. Excellent seafood and service from Bobby our charming waitress 🍤🍷
We had a great time. The stuff was friendly and the establishment is beautiful.
Couldn't have asked for more, best service, the lady with the nose ring, she was brilliant, thank you so much you made our Dinner real special and thank you to Blowfish, stunning Restaurant.
