Cape Town Fish Market Camps Bay - Camps Bay Restaurant
The a la carte menu offers a wide range from the traditional to the more adventurous. There's the old favourite hake and chips, the exotic Abalone soup, chic fresh oysters and the classic prawn curry. The seafood platters come highly recommended and you can even pick your own ingredients from the fresh fish on iced display. For those who aren't that partial to seafood, there is also a choice of meat and poultry as well as a number of vegetarian dishes. Children are catered for and all meat and poultry is halaal.
If you aren't already au fait with these delicious delicacies, the Sushi Bar with its conveyor-belt of tasty treats will leave you hooked. The conveyor-belt was the first in its kind in South Africa and is a firm favourite for Sushi lovers. Seat yourself down while California rolls, sashimi, fashion sandwiches and other tempting portions pass slowly by - all colour-coded to indicate the price. The colour-coded plates make it easy for customers to stick to their budget - however small or large that may be!
The vast menu also includes Teppanyaki and Tempura dishes. Teppanyaki diners sit at communal "hibachi" tables that surround a large table top iron grill. This dining style allows them to view the chef as he prepares the meal with amazing skill using the traditional tools of the trade- a knife, a fork and two metal spatulas. Patrons can watch master chefs prepare these popular Eastern delights such as Teppanyaki-style Prawns and chicken, beef on noodles, fried rice, to name but only a few. Tempura is also an old-time favourite that displays the Japanese art of making crisp, deep fried seafood and vegetables morsels, which boasts a lacy texture and subtle taste.
In a first for South Africa, CTFM has introduced the exciting Robata Grill concept, which follows the Japanese principle of Robata meaning "by the fireside". Appetizer-size portions allow you to feast on a variety of dishes which are prepared over wood coals and served with authentic Japanese sauces and condiments. The secret is in the sauce and will prove a taste sensation. The Japanese believe life is all about sharing so the 12-seater tables make sure you dine in the spirit of things.
The combination of fish market and restaurant means customers have the option to order a variety of fish and seafood from the fresh fish market with its display of live crayfish, prawns, oysters, mussels and fresh fish to be specially prepared for you in preferred proportions or to utilise the "take-home" option for those who wish to have a braai at home or simply to cook up using grandma's secret recipe.
Wine connoisseurs are able to savour some of the finest South African wines available. You can select from a range of cultivars, blended and sparkling wines. The winelist also boasts wines of quality purchased at the Nederburg Wine Auction. CTFM was, in fact, one of the top five buyers at the auction this year.
Cape Town Fish Market is fully licensed with a fun and vibrant atmosphere. So, if you are looking for a quick sushi lunch, a romantic crayfish dinner for two or maybe just a fresh salmon steak to impress those at home, this is the place to go.
