Snoekies Hout Bay

About Snoekies Hout Bay

Snoekies Hout Bay is an iconic coastal landmark that has been serving authentic, dockside fish and chips since 1951. Located at the far end of Harbour Road, this sprawling, unpretentious flagship venue captures the true heart of Cape Town’s maritime heritage, serving fresh parcels of golden-battered hake, traditional snoek, and exceptionally tender calamari wrapped in classic paper packets. While it operates on a casual counter-service model with plastic chairs and visiting seagulls, it excels at universal hospitality by offering full wheelchair accessibility across all facilities, a dog-friendly outdoor deck, and an enormous, multi-story indoor playground complete with a sandpit and jungle gym to keep younger travelers thoroughly entertained. Boasting brilliant views over the active fishing trawlers and Chapman's Peak, it remains an essential, value-for-money pilgrimage for families and road-trippers visiting the harbor.
