The harbour's landmark seafood complex — fish market, bistro and the Wharfside Grill upstairs.
Mariner's Wharf is the large blue-and-white complex on the harbour and has been the valley's most visible seafood address for a very long time.
Downstairs is a fish market and a casual bistro; upstairs the Wharfside Grill does a proper sit-down seafood menu with the harbour through the windows.
It is firmly on the tour-bus circuit, which locals will tell you at length. It is also genuinely well positioned and the fish market is a good place to buy for home.

A big open deck over the harbour. Seafood platters, sundowners, and the best sitting-down view in Hout Bay.
