Description:
Situated in the picturesque old world charm of Kalk Bay's working harbour, the Harbour House has a world-class position. Built on the breakwater, the restaurant has exquisite views overlooking False Bay and the mountains beyond on one side, and the colourful harbour on the other.

From late July, the Humpback and Southern Right whales come into the bay to calf and are regularly visible to diners. In Summer our sun deck allows diners to experience unforgettable outdoor seascapes.

In Winter a log fire roars in the centre of the restaurant as huge waves crash on the rocks below. The interior of the restaurant is elegant and simple, a quality reflected in the cuisine.

All meals are simply prepared, with an emphasis on allowing the flavours of the fresh seafood to speak for themselves. The restaurant buys most of its seafood straight off the fishing boats, as they unload at the fish quay and onto our doorstep.

We also own our own boat which supplies its catch exclusively to our restaurants. This guarantees the freshest line fish in Cape Town.

A world class location with internationally acclaimed salads and seafood, the Harbour House is a restaurant for which one must book fairly well in advance.

Great location for a special night, 22 Jan 2012
Reviewer: Ian Boyle (Adventurousness: Hold the garnish, hold the sauce!)

Comments: My daughters 16th so time to take her somewhere a little bit special.

Wasn't disappointed. Superb food, even better location and service is spot on.

Highly recommended.

A very special venue. You have to try this one!, 16 Jul 2011
Reviewer: anonymous (Adventurousness: I wish i had married a celebrity chef!)

Comments: Took advantage of the winter specials on this first visit to the Harbour House - what a fantastic location! Beach house interior perched above the rocks - full moon, fire warm enough to sit around in a t-shirt! Tried the Mocambique prawns as a main dish - very spicy, but pleasant. Didn’t look at the wine list - took our own at R40 corkage/bottle. Crème Brulee dessert was excellent. The winter specials menu is great, but will definitely return and try the line fish. Service was good, allowing time to linger and enjoy the views and atmosphere.
