Codfather
Premier seafood and sushi spot with fresh, market-style selections and ocean views in Camps Bay.
Description
The Codfather Seafood & Sushi offers diners a unique experience: instead of a printed menu, guests select their fresh fish and shellfish from a display counter, which is then weighed and cooked to order. Guests can also enjoy innovative sushi creations prepared on-site, all in a vibrant, lively setting.
Located in the heart of Camps Bay with Atlantic Ocean views and the Twelve Apostles mountain backdrop, Codfather combines premium seafood, relaxed elegance and attentive service. Established in 1998, it remains one of the most-visited venues on the Atlantic Seaboard.
