Den Anker offers an extensive menu sure to please everyone in your party. They have a great wine list, featuring many local South African wines. The meal was spectacular. Perfectly seasoned and prepared, you definitely get your money's worth here. The setting is warm with low lighting, offering views of the harbor depending on where you're seated. more
