We opened in 1998 and we have been the busiest restaurant in Camps bay since opening. We take pride in our work and provide the best Seafood quality. Customer satisfaction is very important to us.

We do not advertise. We believe that the best advertising is word of mouth of happy guests and this is what has kept us full and busy for the last 17 years! A good name and great reputation cannot be bought. It has been earned through consistency over time.

We have no menus. Our warm and highly trained waitrons instead guide you through our extensive array of delicious and incredible selection of fresh seafood and help you to select an individual plate or platter for the table. They will explain as to the different tastes and textures of the seafood and how the food is prepared and served and show you the cost of your selection.

    Codfather in Camps Bay is a true Cape Town gem — a restaurant that redefines seafood dining with flair and authenticity. What makes Codfather stand out is its unique market‑style approach: instead of ordering from a menu, guests are invited to select their choice of fresh fish, shellfish, and sushi directly from the counter. This interactive experience ensures every plate is tailored to your taste and prepared with absolute freshness. The sushi bar is world‑class, offering an impressive variety that rivals any dedicated sushi house, while the seafood grill delivers perfectly cooked fish with flavors that highlight the natural quality of the catch. The atmosphere strikes a rare balance between relaxed and premium — chic enough for a special occasion, yet welcoming enough for a casual evening with friends. Service is consistently warm and attentive, with staff eager to guide you through the selection process and recommend pairings that elevate the meal. It is a dining experience that feels quintessentially Cape Town: vibrant, fresh, and unforgettable. Codfather isn’t just a restaurant; it’s an institution. Whether you’re a local seafood lover or a visitor seeking a taste of Cape Town’s coastal bounty, Codfather delivers excellence every time. Highly recommended for anyone who values quality, atmosphere, and a touch of culinary adventure.

    All the staff were amazing, food was outstanding, and we told numerous on our journeys to make reservation when in Camps Bay for the Godfather. Would love to have one in Charlotte, NC. :) Thanks again for a great meal!!!

    We should have chose the seller dining option as it is private. Everything was fantastic and we highly recommend you try this.
