This was an amazing stop over for citysightseeing bus. I had my lunch here. Although the stop is intended for the penguins at boulders beach. This made my day. The Seaforth seafood platter is a must try, thanks for our guide Rico for recommending it. Love to come back here on my next trip. From Philippines with lots of love.

It was my first time trying Hake fish.. and it is one of the best things I have ever tried .. so fresh and delicious and it doesnt taste like fish at all.. and everything was as good 👍👌

Really liked the food and the view. It’s a little crowded though because a lot of tourists come here. But it does not affect the quality of the food.

Manager and wife? and all staff very friendly and attentive. Food arrived quickly. I ordered fish and chips - chips were pretty unpleasant, either slightly undercooked or just hard. Fish good but a little dry.Great views and lively ambience. Great draught beer if a little steep at R50. Easter Sunday.

The best seafood platter I have had, tender calamari strips, succulent hake with a crispy crumb topping. The waitress was very friendly and the manager on point. Spectacular view from the deckWill return!

Very nice place and very close to the sea. We were asked to wait but after few minutes the table was ready. The service at the table was fast too and the man was kind. We had an excellent fish and chips and excellent calamari with chips. Portions were quite big. Coffee was not great.

A place to go before you check out the Penguins. We had fish and chips and Mussels. Size are huge... not bad.

A restaurant with a great view are always a winner. Penguins everywhere. Nice and cozy. Food was great - service better - friendly staff - good food for a good price. Amazing to see the Penguins so at home around the buildings and on the beach! Plenty birds in the sky - had an amazing time.

Amazing seafood on the coast of Cape Town. The restaurant is light and airy. The drinks were great. We had a seafood platter to share and it was very filling. Our waiter was very nice. Our visit to Seaforth was part of a scheduled your so well done on that.

Stopped here with a tour group. It seems the restaurant caters to tour groups who visit the Boulder penguin Colony.Surprising it was good. Started with a nice green salad and then had a choice of fish or chicken.

Always a nice experience. They had a new dish on the menu, Paella, was delicious. The deep fried calamari was disappointing. It was tough and over-cooked. But the views are amazing, they are right on the beachfront and the penguins often swim around there.

Awesome location. On the beach...penguins strolling around. Calamari is great! Fish and chips too....makes a great combo. Some excellent cocktails as well. Menu caters well for everyone and a decent wine list. Service was decent and we went back twice to enjoy the hospitality and setting.All and all very cool spot.

Pretty yucky food. Great location, fine service, good views, but we really couldn’t find much to eat on the menu. First problem is that I don’t eat seafood.Fair enough. But even the rest of their menu was really not healthy. Yucky!!

The best restaurant if you are visiting the Penguins. My advise is try an African Pot, the Seafood Curry was superb and could easily be shared for lunch, all my friends enjoyed their choices as well, wonderful deck with ocean views.

The seabass was A.Mazing... and my friends had the seafood and a normally talkative table was filled with only chewing and hmmms of delight and approval. Super fresh, super tasty, and relatively quick service. The burger was Deeelishus... legit beef ;). Ill be back

A beautiful day, a pleasant drive along the beaches of The Cape and a delicious lunch at Seaforth Restaurant in Simons Town, thats what i call a blessing. Our first visit included a owners welcome, friendly service and most delicious mussel starter, seafood platter and kingklip with rice special, topped off with some Devils Peak n/a beer. We loved the seaside deck view, the tasty food and amidst the covid impact, the every effort to exceed all of our expectations and so much more. The only downside is that it aint situated in the Northern Suburbs(loved the outing though) 😁. Thank you to everyone that contributed, we appreciate it. We will be back soon. Blessings 🙏👍💯😀

We had a really enjoyable and very relaxed lunch. Basic seafood options as well as burgers, done well (calamari, battered hake, etc.)Dessert options also small selection but good (malva pudding and ice cream, ice cream and choc sauce, pavlova).And positioned almost on the water.

We really enjoyed our lunch here. I had the fish pie which was delicious and will go back for that again one day soon. I almost deducted one star for serving 200ml cans of soft drinks - really thats a poor show and very disappointing. The location, meal and service compensated for it but really? 🙄

Ordered a platter. The kingklip was not cooked and had to go back They just took the same piece and cooked it further. Was definitely cooked from frozen. The waitron offered excellent service. The curry was very nice. But for the price and reputation I was a bit disappointed. As a group we spent almost R4k and it was nothing extraordinary.

Very well looked after, very lovely staff. The food - not exciting as all. The restaurant and bar is all very nicely done too. The views with the evening sun are worth going for! We watched the penguins retiring to bed leaving their beautiful little beach, and the seagulls going mad. The lights of the villages all around False Bay really begin to sparkle.

We stopped here for lunch on our trip to Simons Town, and we were very impressed with our experience. The service was great, considering we were a party of 8, all paying on separate checks. I only ordered the squid salad, as I wasnt very hungry, but I was extremely pleased with it. It was DELICIOUS. I really appreciated the outdoor seating with a view of the beach, and I will absolutely return here if Im ever in Simons Town again.

Review №94

We were very happy with the food. And it was nice to have our table reserved when we delayed, needing to report a lost bag. The day was so beautifull! A perfect spot to eat and look out over False Bay while listening to the chatter of all the people and to the sea. it is almost like being a happy penguin on a happy colony.

Review №96

Food is amazing but the service is really questionable. We left and the waitress ran after us asking for service charges which was just tips. We left the balance as tips already. Seriously?! She even said u can pay for it!!!! Please, is this the restaurants mistake for not clarifying the payment or it is the waitress fault?

Review №97

We were there in the very late afternoon. Their biggest asset is their location.We sat outside on the deck and it was lovely to watch the penguins waddling around in the beach, as it is in close proximity to the penguin sanctuary.Everyone in our party of six enjoyed their meal. I did not pay for any part of the meal, so cannot comment on prices and value for money.At the time we were there, the restaurant was very quiet and it was a pleasure to sit out on the deck. There was only one other table occupied.I am not sure if it would be quite so peaceful and relaxing in the day, should there be many people on the beach and the grass bank right next to the restaurant.While the deck is lovely, the restaurant interior leaves much to be desired.It also seems as if people just wanting to have a drink, are not allowed or encouraged to sit on the outside deck. This seems to be for people who are having a meal only.Staff and management did not appear especially friendly and welcoming when first arriving.I should imagine that they cater mostly for tourists and probably get away with a lot, purely because of their great location.

Tourist trap. Overpriced and robotic, unfriendly staff. Rather go down the road to Saveur where youll get top quality food for less.
