Den Anker

You'll find us on the quayside of Cape Town's Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, where the Atlantic ocean meets the mother city.

Take an umbrella shaded table on our terrace, at the African Queen bar, or in our streamlined interior, where wall-to-wall windows make the most of the picture - postcard backdrop of Table Mountain.

Described by restaurant critics as 'one of the Waterfront's most popular pioneers' we're now celebrating our 29th year. Enjoy the friendly ambience . . . our serving staff are attentive and smiling.

Menus revolve round fresh, seasonal dishes like just-caught crayfish or shrimps flown in from Europe. Specialities range from generous pots of mussels and frites to traditional South African fare; gourmet temptations from foiegrasbrulee to velvet-smooth chocolate.

We import beers from small Belgian breweries to ensure a spread of different flavours and styles. six of these are served on tap: De Koninck, Vedett Extra White, LiefmansFruitesse, La Chouffe, Maredsous Blond and of course Anker beer, brewed exclusively for us in Lochristi to a personal recipe from Den Anker's Belgian founder, Denis Bouckaert.

For visitors wanting to try something local, tasty South African specialities change weekly. To avert a riot by regulars, best-sellers remain constant.

We are a family orientated establishment catering for a diverse clientele and facilitate all Covid 19 protocols including social distancing.

We are wheelchair friendly and accommodate Groups, Functions ,Corporate and Business Meetings.
