The best-known restaurant in Swakopmund, set in a converted tugboat building right on the beachfront. The menu centres on local seafood: kingklip, kabeljou, lobster, and oysters from Walvis Bay, alongside game dishes — the gemsbok steak and a gemsbok surf-and-turf (with queen prawn and Patagonian baby squid) are house signatures. The seafood platter is the choice if you want to eat everything at once. Busy in season; book ahead. The terrace tables with an ocean view fill first.
