I got the calamari strips with chips and it was really good. The taste was fresh, not plasticy or rubbery. I would've just put it longer in the fryer to get that golden brown crips fry, but was reaaly the best calamari strips I ever had! Cost was R149. I would recommend the hake, it is a good value of money Big piece of fish and chips. R159. Come here and experience the best!!

What an amazing experience. Friendly staff, great place to eat and fanominal value for money.

The atmosphere, the service, the staff with Melody and Charl....absolutely amazing food and value for money. Well worth the visit, we came back twice over the weekend. Visit them for delicious food

Our waitress, Gemma , suggested that we try the Seafood basket and grilled hake. It was absolutely superb. The hake was ultra fresh & soft with a delicious crispy batter, the prawns done precisely as required , the calamari so soft it nearly melts in your mouth and the mussels sautéed in an amazing creamy sauce and the fries that cannot be beaten. The attached picture says it all.

We had fish & chips and calamari strips & chips that was really tasty and fresh!! It was quiet, lots of parking available. Jemma was friendly and helpful.

The owner came and told us what fresh fish he just bought and we must try it! Great meal, fresh from the sea. The service was out of this world! You can really give this place a visit. Big portion, to much to rush down! Sit and eat for the joy!

Oppikaai Seafood Restaurant Review Lunch at Oppikaai felt like being welcomed into a family home. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with love. What made the experience even more special was the owner’s daughter, who took the time to share the story of how her family started the restaurant. Her warmth and passion made me feel like more than just a customer. This place isn’t just about great seafood—it’s about the heart and history behind it. If you’re looking for a meal that’s as local as it is delicious, Oppikaai is the spot. Highly recommended!
