A great place for take away fish and chips or calamari. The prices are fair for portion size and the hot chips satisfy your cravings for good old chips especially with the vinegar dressing. The interior is quite small - however the outside area offers fresh sea air and much more lighting whilst you eat which makes for a great spot to grab lunch.
What a lively little take away fish and chips spot! The seating also looks cozy, although we just got takeaways and ate on the quay. The food was delicious as well, but we had to wait quite a while because they were very busy.
Although this is not the fanciest sit down restaurant, it has a Harbour charm, serving amazing hake or calamari and chips.
If you want to full experience l, get a take-away and eat on the jetty/quay.
Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for something casual and fun in Simons Town.
Their food is very well priced.
Love this place for a calamari and chips takeaway to eat at the harbour. Avoid during the weekend lunchtime rush though. Takes ages to get your order. Otherwise one of my favorite things to do in Simonstown. The chips are awesome and the calamari is good.
Busy little restaurant and a little crowded, got a take away and went to go sit on the docks! Food was fantastic had the classic hake and chips with some calamari! Can definitely not complain!
This was just the fish and chips fix we were looking for! We had the combo platter with Hake, Snoek, Calamari and prawns. Just delicious and the service was excellent. Loved the location with harbor view and slatted ceiling to let the sunshine in. We would definitely come back if we were in the area.
First time at the salty sea dog and had a great experience, great service and positive attitude from our waiter Mandilive definitely enhanced our experience. We had the platter combo which is enough to feed 3 people in my opinion, we took plenty home. The curry prawn samoosas was really nice and I will definitely have them next time. The setting is abit crowded and tables are very close together and I can see this can be a problem when very busy but overall I had a good experience.
Really great little restaurant with amazingly fresh fish. Cooked perfectly. It looks like a cheap little diner, but the food is damn good and the view is lovely, overlooking the Harbour. Highly recommended.

Great for a quick snack if you're in Simons Town, fresh fish and chips are the order of the day! Very relaxed take away vibe, friendly staff!
Really good fish. Cooked to that perfect point between raw and over cooked. Well priced. The setting is a little tacky but has the feel of a real seaside cafe and a beautiful view of the harbor. If you are lucky, some street musicians might provide some entertainment.
I’d definitely recommend giving The Salty Sea Dog a try.
We had the hake & chips, snoek & chips and a chicken burger. The chips were perfect, nice and soft on the inside, a little crispy on the outside. The snoek was absolutely delicious, and I’d especially recommend trying it if you haven’t before. The hakes were a bit oily but fresh and good nonetheless, and the batter to fish ratio was perfect! The chicken burger was underwhelming, the chicken patty tasted like it was one of those cheap freezer patties but then again this is a seafood restaurant.
Our food arrived very quickly even though it was busy. And the servers are friendly as well.
It has a pretty good atmosphere, very laid back and family friendly.

"Salty Sea Dog impresses with fresh seafood, lively atmosphere, and friendly service. A coastal gem delivering delicious flavors that keep you coming back for more!"
Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend The Salty Sea dog.
We ordered the platter which was fish, onion rings, calamari, prawns, samoosa, chips and rice with a tartar sauce all for R370 which was all worth it. Value for money.
We also ordered a fish cake for R45 which was so massive, a size of a saucer.
The service was great and food came out fast even though it was busy.
The chips were a bit overdone for me and a bit too much oil or deep fried. Hoping the prawns would be grilled and not deep fried. Spacing of tables were a bit too close that it became a bit of a maze to get out but these are all minor things.
Real value for money and good food
An exquisite eatery to enjoy scrumptious fish & chips made to perfection, while enjoying the view of docked boats in the bay. Just a wonderful time spent near the ocean with family. A must visit when in Simonstown, CT!
Very good and fresh food, perfect service, nice location. Highly recommend! Give the kingclip fish a go.
The best fish and chips I have ever had in my life. Food arrives quickly, fish is fresh and tastes delicious. Service is good.
Excellent meal, value for money, really big portion, if u have children under 10yr half portion to share should be enough.
Difficult to find parking during festive season holiday.
I was fortunate to have arrived here just as they recieved fresh hake and they were busy filleting the fish. Fantastic light batter, great crisp and texture. The fish itself was truly a great experience, never tasted hake like this. The chips though was a bit of a let down, it was pre blanched, frozen, still ok though. The fish alone puts this place in my top 3 all time fish and chips restaurants. The calamari also was really good. Located in simons town, right in the harbour that they receive their fish from. Well worth the trip to this little unassuming venue. If you really looking for the best fish Cape Town has, this place needs to get on your list.
Definitely the best place for fish n chips. The fish was fresh and served piping hot and it went down well with the beer. The view from the restaurant is really nice as well. It's worth driving down through Chapman's Peak Drive from Cape Town to Simon's Town and top it with a meal here.
We liked this restaurant. Good old fish and chips style on the Harbour. Plain and simple menu. Friendly fast service and value for money. You have a view of the Simon's town Harbour and all its activities.
