Cape Point Route has been sharing information on the coastal seaside village of Hout Bay, so here’s a suggestion for eating out in Hout Bay – The Lookout Deck.
The Lookout Deck in Hout Bay Harbour has one of the most spectacular views of any Cape Town restaurant. The casual wooden deck is suspended over the water and patrons eating at the Lookout Deck can watch all the action of Hout Bay’s busy working harbour. One can gaze across the harbour to Chapman’s Peak Drive and despite the bustle of the harbour, being on the water offers a tranquil, relaxed feeling,
Restaurants in Hout Bay are plentiful and many of these Hout Bay Restaurants offer sublime sea food dishes but being located right in the harbour, the Lookout Deck gets their fish straight from the fisherman as the catch of the day comes off the boats - so you can be sure of fresh fish.
Freshly caught line fish is always a plus but other seafood dishes rank highly at this Hout Bay Restaurant – the fresh black mussels, the succulent LM prawns and of course Cape Rock Lobster (crayfish) are delicious. Calamari Steaks (grilled and served in one of 3 styles – Jamaican, Portuguese or Blackened with Cajun spices – YUM!) , yellow fin tuna steaks and live oysters are to die for. And try one of the Deck’s favourites in a funky pint glass – the Pint O Prawns. Find out when they have their seafood braai days (BBQ for non South Africans) – you choose a whole plate of seafood and watch the chef prepare your meal over the open grill!
Carnivores and Vegetarians need not be concerned though – choice A grade meats made in burgers, curries, or pork spare ribs. There are light snack baskets for the not so hungry, appetizing salads and wood fired pizzas with fun summer holiday names (tan line, deck hand and barefoot!)
The setting of course is wonderful and even if you are not hungry – pop in for refreshment after a boat trip to Duiker Seal Island (see blog here!). The Lookout Deck is a great location for sundowners or a cosmopolitan cocktail. There’s a great bar area with high tables and stools, a large flat screen to view the latest live sporting action and of course a full bar with local and international beers, beer on tap and as one would expect from any Cape Town Restaurant and Bar – an extensive and excellent wine list.
The Lookout Deck Restaurant in Hout Bay can seat around 260 people on the wooden deck and the comfortable inside area seats about 60 people. The Lookout Deck is wheelchair friendly, child friendly and on selected evenings they offer live music as entertainment – call them on 021 790 0900 to check who is playing and when… and then boogy the night away with the Hout Bay locals!
