The Lookout Deck

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

The Lookout Deck's advantage is unarguable: a wide wooden deck raised above the harbour, looking across the water at the Sentinel.

The food is seafood-led and generous rather than delicate — platters, calamari, prawns, cold beer. Come for the position and the sunset and order accordingly.

Wind can shut the deck down; there is cover, but on a hard southeaster it is not the same place.
