The iconic setting
Seafood and sushi take centre stage on the newly revamped menu at SÓTANO restaurant in Mouille Point, situated directly across from the iconic Green Point Lighthouse. Mediterranean-inspired cuisine has long been the hallmark of this ever-popular neighbourhood eatery, where exceptional dishes mirror the best flavours found along one of the world’s most sought-after coastlines. Fresh Cape seafood, skillfully crafted sushi, signature cocktails, and a selection of the finest South African wines make this the ultimate spot to enjoy the bounty of the ocean.
Seafood espetada
With its offering of all-day dining, SÓTANO is perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner, sushi, a sunset drink and snack, or late after-dinner drinks. New seafood and sushi additions to the menu that make a visit well worthwhile include the Seafood Espetada, which is served with king prawns, grilled octopus, Patagonian calamari, and line fish on a skewer, accompanied by grilled seasonal vegetables and baby potatoes.
Moules frite
Another standout dish is Spanish Paella made with saffron-infused short grain rice cooked with peppers, tomatoes, chicken, chorizo, line fish, prawns, calamari, mussels, and a white wine seafood broth. Then there’s West Coast Sole grilled on the bone, served with twice-cooked baby potatoes, green beans, and lemon caper beurre blanc.
Grilled Patagonian calamari
Luscious oysters are served natural with fresh lemon and a classic mignonette. Diners can also savour Classic Fried White Bait, which is flour-coated and served with garlic aioli; delicious paprika-floured Squid Tentacles, deep-fried and served with harissa aioli; as well as mixed Seafood Linguini with garlic, parsley, chilli, Parmesan cheese, and white wine.
Baked feta prawns
The full menu also includes daily specials, cocktails, and a wine list featuring a wide variety of wines available by the glass. Options include a family wine from a Franschhoek farm made specifically for SÓTANO, as well as firm favourites like Cap Classiques and popular varietals.
Special menu for four legged friends
This inclusive, welcoming atmosphere extends even to four-legged companions, who are pampered with their own “Fur Babies” menu. Offering delightful treats such as meatballs, beef stew, and sausages, along with a soft pillow to relax on, it’s no wonder that many happy customers—both human and canine—return time and time again.
