Good fried fish and chips. Great service. Friendly staff. We ordered the meal for 3! Good value for money.
Had the meal for two 2 good pieces of fish. Spicey chips and coleslaw. Absolutely delicious. Then a portion of onion rings. My oh my Absolutely crispy and tasty. Awesome and great service
The texture of the batter is unique, great if you want to try something different... Definitely get all their sauces on the side.
Ordered the Meal for Six and 10 Prawns and chips. The portion sizes were generous, the batter on the fish was crispy and the fish itself flaky. Chose the prawns in a garlic sauce and it was ok. Chips could have been fried a bit longer and were average. Would definitely recommend the hake. There's a small indoor and outdoor seating area and there wasn't a long wait before our food arrived. Would be great if they could include some tartar sauce with the meal and have some chilli powder available, should you require an extra kick.
A lovely hidden gem on the Bluff with the freshiest sea food. Very reasonably priced.
Enjoyed the fish and chips from this business. Felt for that authentic flakey hake and chunky batter fish and chip meal and tried this restaurant for the first time and was pleased with its portions and suitable price for it. I ordered the medium hake and although it looked small, its price suited its size. Staff were friendly and meal was well prepared within a short period. They do have the additional charge for grilled fish. I suggest taking the fish and chip option with seasoning as it tasted great. Given its close location to the beach its a nice little meal to takeaway and enjoy the ocean view. Inside seating is available as well. Not sure on generator on site during load shedding periods.
Walking distance from where I am spending the weekend. Went there Friday evening and ordered the fried hake and garlic butter to go with what I'd brought to my self-catering. It was delish and the young woman was a delight to chat to while waiting. Her recommendation and that of a customer had me back there on Saturday evening for the prawn bunny. A friendly and helpful young man this time took my order. The bunny comes served in a cardboard box perfectly shaped. When I opened the box at my nearby apartment I saw it was better to put the whole thing on the plate and eat it that way rather than transfer it ... I took pics, which I will try and attach. A spotless unpretentious place serving simple affordable nicely prepared seafood take-out.
Super tasty fish and chips.Fish batter crispy and well seasoned.Fries tossed in a great blend of salt and spices. Friendly service and great pricing for the hake and chips.Tasty cole slaw and tar-tar sauce Nice seating outside,could do with a more tlc indoor and out.Bit of a sea view when on the terrace.Packaging could be more eco friendly. When in the mood for fish and chips this is the go to place.
