The Lookout Hout Bay, Harbour Road, Hout Bay Harbour, Cape Town, South Africa

Perched right on the water's edge at Hout Bay Harbour, The Lookout Hout Bay delivers sweeping views of Chapman’s Peak and the rugged coastline—making it a standout dining destination in Cape Town’s beachfront scene.

Set comfortably over the harbour, the restaurant's wooden deck offers a front-row seat to the daily rhythm of fishing fleets, deep-sea charters, and Seal Island sightseeing boats—perfect for relaxed oceanfront dining.

Its diverse menu highlights an emphasis on the sea: think grilled line fish, calamari, black mussels, prawns, rock lobster, and seared tuna steaks—all sourced fresh daily. Lighter fare includes salads, pizzas, and brunch staples.

For sushi lovers, a dedicated sushi bar greets sashimi with maki and California rolls, while the Champagne & Oyster Bar serves live oysters paired with bubbly. With space for up to 280 guests, The Lookout accommodates both indoor and outdoor seating, complete with a bar area equipped with TV screens for sports—making it ideal for both casual meals and lively gatherings.

Its friendly, relaxed ambiance is perfect for families; the venue is child-friendly and includes occasional live music and sushi-themed promotions, like Sushi Saturdays and Family Night Fridays.
