Den Anker - Cape Town

Wow! Blown away by my experience here. I had the strawberry waffles special. R100 for two including honey and cream and ice cream. A real deal. The view is fantastic, I watched the Cape Fur Seals playing in the harbor, and the luxury boats coming in and out. Try out the beers at lunch time as well, they've got some amazing specialities. These are my photographs from my morning with them. Yum.

Great food. The Vlaamse stoverij is a rather good stew. Great selection of special beer.

We stopped in at Den Anker to do their beer tasting on a Saturday, just before lunch. Service was excellent, really excellent. It was fantastic to sit outside and as the restaurant filled up with lunch diners and those sampling the unique Belgian beers the service never wained and patrons just had such a look of content. As a bonus, being world gin day, their Liefmann's Gin Cocktail was available on a 2-for-1 special #happydays P.S. They offer a complimentary reusable bamboo straw with this cocktail (they are also available to purchase as an alternative to plastic #savetheseaturtles

Doors are open and all is good! We love the Belgian wheat beer. Sesame Tuna is good. I’d say they are over-priced, particularly for the portions.

Beautiful views of the harbor and absolutely unbelievably good beer! Service is impeccable and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. The food is good, some dishes were really tasty and others were good but less spectacular. I really liked the vegetarian risotto and apparently the fillet was divine. What I really liked was the tapas style starters which were unique and delicious. Loved the croquettes especially!
