Try the Boulders Burger! No, it does not have bouldering in it, but with egg and beacon it is a winner!

We had a pleasant lunch here on a day out from Cape Town. Good food, and efficient service. There was plenty of choice on the menu for all tastes.

The view and the place was truly stunning. Wasn't too impressed about being pushed to buy the "SPECIAL" Dish of the day which wasn't priced and then finding out it was 3 times what we had paid at a 5 star restaurant in Cape Town. apart from that the chocolate martinis are a MUST and will definatety be trying them...

Stopped off here for some lunch after visiting the penguins, service was friendly and was fairly quick considering it was very busy. Food was tasty, everyone cleared their plates, I thought it was reasonable priced, we sat outside and had a great time.

It wasn't a bad experience, but don't expect much from this restaurant. At 2pm it was crowded and had issues handling the number people (though it wasn't full). The fish was plain dry and the seafood platter was not tasty. The prices however matched top line restaurants in the area. If you've just popped out of the amazing boulders beach... More

Perfect location just in front of Boulder's Beach Parking. Therefore not to miss if you are planning to see the Penguin colony or swim in a small beach when penguins are coming back to shore (3 PM). Seafood platter won't dissapoint you, R500.

We sat overlooking False Bay (saw a couple of penguins running around in the car park while we were there!) The lunch was delicious, all with really fresh ingredients ( and the other diner's lunches... More
