Tastes of the Mediterranean at The Greek Fisherman

The Greek Fisherman is a family owned restaurant where eating is a warm and social experience. Sharing food is important in Greek culture and each dish is made with love and care.

Inspired by Greece and the Mediterranean, their new home in a Heritage site in Sea Point is warm and inviting. Each dining room has its own fire place and is a cosy place to be in winter.

The décor is reminiscent of the Greek Islands and there is a lovely courtyard centred around a fountain, which makes for great al fresco dining.

The Food at The Greek Fisherman

Their menu is a celebration of quality raw ingredients simply and slowly cooked, seasoned to perfection with fresh herbs and olive oil. They believe in cooking from the heart, using ingredients that are true to the village lifestyle.

The seafood is brought in fresh, daily. All the bread is freshly made on the premises as are their authentic Greek dips.

The menu offers a selection of over twenty different signature starters and meze, ideal for sharing. The likes of pan-fried haloumi saganaki, grilled octopus, beef biftekia (meat balls), oysters and spanakopita are offered at their establishment.

You can also look forward to slow roasted lamb that falls off the bone, charcoal grills and tender calamari.

There is a wide variety of vegetarian dish options and homemade wholesome vegan food such as dolmades or lentil soup.

Traditional Greek sweets like baklava and mouth-watering loukoumades – traditional Greek doughnut balls with spiced honey syrup and vanilla ice cream.

The Greek Fisherman boasts a great selection of cocktails and more than 150 of the finest wines the Cape has to offer. Their in-house sommelier will gladly assist you with recommendations and food pairing from the menu.

The restaurant is child friendly and offers a children’s menu.

A selection of set menus is also available on request to choose from for private functions or groups, to suit every budget or occasion.

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation? Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose.

Expensive is not always better. Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday. They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice. A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday.

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance. Of these, service is the most important.

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion. However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review. We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience? The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table.

Well that’s our theory anyway. It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced. However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience. In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe. It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
