Quay Four

Quay Four Cape Town's legendary Quay Four @ the V&A Waterfront . Seafood, live music & ice-cold beers with views of Table Mountain & the harbour every day of the year.

Where shiny seals play hide-and-seek and the seagulls wheel joyously through salty air, you’ll find Cape Town’s legendary Quay Four. One of the oldest restaurants on the V&A Waterfront and now a famous landmark, the terrace of the world-renowned downstairs tavern buzzes with locals and visitors, virtually every day of the year. Quay Four Tavern offers a variety of light meals and salads, as well as hearty pub fare for those with bigger appetites. Everyone enjoys the tavern’s famous “fish & chips” and their impressive range of beers on tap. Live bands also play every night of the week for your entertainment.

⚓🍻 Great food, harbour views and b**r poured the way it should be.

There’s no better place to soak up the atmosphere of the Waterfront than Quay Four. From front-row views of the working harbour to delicious meals and ice-cold drinks, every visit is one to remember. 🌊🍽️

And when it comes to b**r, our tank **r is a must-try. Served fresh from the tank for a crisp, refreshing taste, it's the perfect companion to a leisurely lunch, sunset drinks or a catch-up with friends. 🍺✨
Good food. Fresh tank b**r. Unbeatable harbour views. That's the Quay Four experience.
