We like to visit Simon's Town every so often. We usually stop by at the craft markets in Kalk Bay then head to Simon's Town for lunch or some nibbles. Our previous visit brought us to a restaurant called "Salty Sea Dog". Yes, it IS called Salty Sea Dog. And No, they don't serve salty sea dogs.
It was the restaurant that came up first in TripAdvisor search results and had good reviews. On arriving, we were confused on how the system works. We saw many people, mainly families and older generation sitting down and having Fish and Chips. After 5 minutes at the table, we realised that it is a self-service system. You need to go to the counter and place your order. To start with, the tables were dirty and greasy. The menu has a few items, so we decided to order calamari and chips.
There were 2 separate counters for drinks and food. So you will need to queue separately. You will be given a number, and wait for the number to be called. You will then head back to the counter and collect the food.
And for the food, it was disappointing for me. It was greasy. Plus point was the crispy chips. The calamari tentacles were huge! It was at least 2-3 inches long! Makes me think its the squid they recently found off the Japanese shore.
Overall, average place. Why did it make to the Trip Advisor's good remarks? I am not too sure. Maybe because the prices were reasonable which makes it a good family restaurant.
