Review Cape Town Fish Market - Cape Town Central

Kobkab J.

I am still surprised why this place only got 4.0 stars when the quality of service and food are top notch. The staffs are attentive especially Sunny, he is our superstar. He recommended us his favorite menu Tempura rock shrimp which later on became our favorite menu too. We visited here on our first day of this trip and came back for the last day before our flight and Sunny still recognized us! Food was delicious, and big portion. Highly recommended!

A paradise for seafood lovers, Ocean Basket is located in the V& A Waterfront on the 1st floor. As you enter the restaurant, the aroma of the seafood being grilled to perfection devours your olfactory senses. The opulence of the interior seems to invite you into this seafood haven. The staff is a cut above the rest who ensure nobody leaves with an inch of space in their stomach. With a well curated menu, there seems to be something for everyone. Each and every dish is well plated and cooked/grilled to perfection and the entire gastronomical experience forces itself into the core memory for many years to come. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip to the Cape Country.

very pleasant and friendly staff. we ordered “seafood for two” R410 and the portion was very large for two women. This portion is for at least 3-4 people. We took the rest of the dish home with us 🥰. Also, they bring very tasty hot bread 👍🏼🤤 I recommend it to everyone 👍🏼

The night we visited was SO busy, it was mad! No stress, the staff looked after us without breaking a sweat. The food was very good and was on our table very quickly, with no drop in quality. Overall, food was enjoyed by all and was simply delicious, uncomplicated and genuine. Definitely recommend!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ocean Basket restaurant in South Africa, and I must say it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The service provided by the staff was exceptional; they were not only friendly and welcoming but also incredibly helpful. The manager personally took the time to ensure that every guest was well taken care of, specifically helping us with directions and how to best experience South Africa. Now let's talk about the sushi—it was absolutely phenomenal! The flavors were unique and the presentation was impeccable. Each bite was a burst of deliciousness that left me craving for more. If you're looking for a restaurant with top-notch service and mouthwatering, unparalleled sushi, Ocean Basket is an absolute must-visit.

Had a very good experience, the place was quite busy, however the service from our waiter Sunny was great! We were 3 adults and 1 baby (9 months old), we didn't have to wait long for ANYTHING. Cudos to the men in the kitchen, fast, efficient and everything made was DELICIOUS!

This OB is by far the best one in the country! The service is always top quality, the food comes to your table piping hot and all in good time! I definitely recommend this OB to all seafood (and lemon garlic butter) lovers 🌟

It's a very busy Sunday afternoon, and OB is buzzing like a crazy, yet food was served in short time, and lemonade is fresh, and all waiters are smiling and flying between the tables. Thank you for your service, and for wonderful team work! Thank you, Asanda, our beautiful waiter with amazing smile!

I have never experienced such great customer service as I did at Ocean Basket Waterfront. The staff were very friendly, our food was brought quickly and the food was excellent. I am very impressed the way this restaurant is operating, and this was also during the Sunday lunchtime peak period.

I am surprised that the reviews for this place aren't higher! My family and I had supper here while we were at the Water Front and we would highly recommend this place. The staff were so lovely and helpful serving us with huge smiles on their faces and the food was incredible! We hope to be back one day.

Food was well presented and the waiter was very knowledgable, polite and attentive! There is good gluten free options and the food was nice and fresh only complaint is that there are no baby seats in the restaurant, not sure why not? Bit of a shame.

This Ocean Basket has an exquisite aesthetic. Although, if seated outside. There's a border that prohibits the waterfront view. The food was delicious, I ordered the saucy Mediterranean prawns with a side of chips and rice (Tip: eat your chips first or keep it separate, peel the prawns, add the rice into the pan, add the chillie that you get with the rolls and mix all together). I enjoyed the meal with this combo! The daiquiri's are delicious. The seating is quite close together when you're seated at a table for two. Also, the service could do with some working on, we had to wait for a table, didn't receive a basket for the prawn peels, waiter assigned was not quite present and asked for his 10% tip of the bill even though it's customary and had no toothpicks after meals.
