9th Avenue Waterside is a fine-dining restaurant located in the Durban yacht mole, off the city's picturesque Esplanade. Every feature of the establishment defines its character - from its location in the harbor, to the innovative design and menu and ultimately, to the exceptional dining experience. The intimate setting is complimented by the warmth of the inspired front-of-house team and the kitchen brigade, led by Head Chef, Theodorus Chiloane. Our mission is to inspire people to enjoy and appreciate food and dining, in a new way - from the communities we support producing sustainably farmed food and beverages, to the professionalism and knowledge of our staff, service and hospitality. The upstairs Cocktail Lounge provide the ideal space to de-stress after a busy day, meet with friends or business colleagues or host a private function. 9th Avenue Waterside also offers a variety of spaces for weddings, engagements, business events, product launches and special calendar days. We look forward to welcoming you soon.

    I have been visiting the establishment since 2021 and i have tried many of the dishes. This time around (2026) I really liked the new menu changes (effected by the new ownership). This is definitely step in the correct direction.

    I enjoyed the atmosphere and being at the venue, which was pleasant and welcoming. However, the food was disappointing. The steak was overly salty, the chips were hard, and the rice was undercooked. While the setting itself was enjoyable, the overall dining experience was let down by the poor quality of the dishes.
