If you’re in Simon’s Town and not eating seafood by the water, you’re missing out. And if you’re not sharing that seafood with your favorite people, you’re missing the whole point.
Luckily, Bertha’s Restaurant has the answer: their irresistible, absolutely loaded platters to share.
These aren’t your average “nibbles on a plate” platters.
- They’re big, bold, and brimming with fresh-off-the-boat flavour—served right on the waterfront, where the sea breeze makes everything taste better.
🐟 The Tavern Platter – Crowd-Pleaser 101
Start simple (but satisfying) with the Tavern Platter: 6 prawns, calamari strips, half a hake, and 6 mussels swimming in creamy garlic sauce. Toss in chips and onion rings, and you’ve got yourself a salty, crispy, garlic-butter dream. It’s the kind of meal that demands a cold beer and zero plans for the rest of the afternoon. R349 well spent.
🦐 The Breakwater Platter – A Bit More Bite
Want to upgrade? The Breakwater Platter bumps those prawns up to 8 and adds 2 extra mussels to the creamy mix. Same hake, same sides, but that little extra makes a big difference when your table starts leaning in for “just one more bite.” R369—and totally worth elbowing your friends for the last chip.
🌊 The Inshore Platter – All About the Rings
Prefer your seafood with a crunch? Go for the Inshore Platter, which swaps out calamari strips for rings and brings a whopping 10 mussels to the party. Add chips, onion rings, garlic sauce, and your taste buds will thank you. R389.
🦀 The Family Platter – The Big One
Feeding a hungry crew? This one’s a showstopper. The Family Platter packs in 10 prawns, calamari strips, 10 mussels, a full hake, two fish cakes, and a mountain of chips. At R485, it’s a value meal for seafood lovers who don’t mess around. It’s basically a beach holiday on a plate.
