La Mouette

Top choice in Sea Point to Hout Bay


New takes on the classics (such as herb gnocchi and smoked pork belly) and fresh inventions (including kudu loin with fermented cabbage, BBQ carrot puree and bolognese sauce) make this a standout culinary experience. Local art hangs in the maroon-walled interior and there's a lush outdoor courtyard with a bubbling fountain. Tapas are served for Sunday lunch.
