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.

    They took too long with our orders food understandably so but also very questionable cause it was 40min waiting but the drinks can’t be forgiven 30 minutes to bring us bottled refreshments that don't need to be prepared.waiter’s kept messing up our drinks orders.

    We were so excited to try it out for the first time but we really couldn't stay passed our starters because of the seating area we had. The small outside table which was wobbling and very small. We couldn't place our food and drinks on the table at once it was a very uncomfortable. Those tables shouldn't be for anyone trying to have a meal, sitting there doesn't give us all the same experience. I'm unable to rate any of the above as we didn't stay long enough.

    Just had an amazing experience at the 9th Avenue 🤩 The food was on point, but what really made the night was Surprise – top-notch service, super attentive, and made us feel like VIPs. Highly recommend stopping by and requesting Surprise if you can!
