The best sushi in Bloubergstrand and Table View comes from four beachfront kitchens rather than one standout name. Blowfish at Dolphin Beach has the widest sushi-belt selection and the best Table Mountain view, Cape Town Fish Market in Big Bay is the strongest all-rounder for families, Catch 22 on the Table View beachfront covers casual surf-and-turf sushi, and Colala wins on price. This list ranks them on freshness cues, sea views and value.
This ranking was compiled from operator websites, published menus and review-platform ratings (Google and TripAdvisor), checked on 2026-10-13. Prices, hours and specials change often at beachfront restaurants, so treat every figure below as a guide and confirm before you go.
1. Blowfish Restaurant, Dolphin Beach: Best Overall for Views and Variety
Blowfish is the closest thing Blouberg has to a sushi institution. The centrepiece is a conveyor-belt (kaiten-style) sushi bar where you pick your own sashimi, nigiri and maki as plates pass by, backed by a made-to-order menu of signature rolls such as the Mountain Top Nouveau, a spicy tuna and avocado roll topped with tempura prawn. From nearly every table you get a clear line across Table Bay to Table Mountain, which is hard to match anywhere else on this list.
- Cost: sushi is priced per plate on the belt; a sushi-and-wine pairing experience runs around R250 per person (as of 2026-10-13, check ahead)
- Hours: roughly 6:30am to 10pm daily, though sources differ slightly on exact opening, so confirm when booking
- Parking: free street parking along Marine Drive, which fills up fast around sunset
- Getting there: on the Blouberg/Table View beachfront at Dolphin Beach; see this site’s guide to getting to Bloubergstrand without a car if you’re relying on MyCiTi
- Sea view: Table Mountain and Table Bay from most seats
- Good to know: half-price sushi from the belt runs on Wednesdays and Sundays (afternoon into evening, exact times vary by source, confirm when you book)
2. Cape Town Fish Market, Big Bay: Best for Families and Variety
This branch of the Cape Town Fish Market chain, on Otto du Plessis Road in Big Bay’s Seaside Village centre, combines a full seafood menu with a sushi bar and teppanyaki station under one roof. It’s the most practical pick if your group wants sushi plus non-sushi options at the same table, and it’s the only one of the four with confirmed play areas for kids.
- Cost: à la carte, check current pricing on the Cape Town Fish Market site before you go
- Hours: daily, roughly 11am to 11pm (as of 2026-10-13, check ahead)
- Parking: on-site parking at the Seaside Village/Big Bay precinct
- Getting there: Big Bay, a short drive or MyCiTi connection north of central Table View
- Kid-friendly: yes, with two supervised play areas on site (one for younger kids, one with a ball pit for older kids) and a free-eats deal for under-12s on Thursdays (confirm current terms before you go)
- Sea view: Table Mountain and Robben Island across the bay
3. Catch 22, Table View Beachfront: Best Casual Surf-and-Turf Sushi
Catch 22 sits right on the Table View beachfront at the corner of Beach Boulevard and Porterfield Road, with a dedicated sushi bar alongside its seafood and steak menu. It’s a more relaxed, alfresco setup than Blowfish, and it shows up repeatedly on citywide sushi round-ups from Cape Town review sites, which says something given how much competition there is closer to the city.
- Cost: à la carte, mid-range; check the current menu on the restaurant’s own site
- Hours: closed Mondays, Tuesday to Saturday noon to 9pm, Sunday and public holidays noon to 8pm
- Parking: street parking around Beach Boulevard
- Getting there: Table View beachfront, walkable from the MyCiTi Table View stops
- Sea view: oceanfront seating with Table Mountain in view
- Good to know: the outdoor tables are directly exposed to the wind off Table Bay, so check live conditions at Blouberg’s weather station before booking a seat outside
4. Colala Restaurant & Bar, Table View: Best Value for Money
Colala is an Asian-fusion kitchen near Marine Circle in Table View, mixing Chinese and Indian dishes with a solid sushi selection. It doesn’t have the big, uninterrupted sea view of the other three, but it’s consistently the cheapest way to eat decent sushi in the area, and it holds up well for takeaway if you’d rather eat on the beach itself.
- Cost: affordable, noticeably cheaper than the other three restaurants on this list; check current menu pricing before you go
- Hours: daily, roughly late morning to late evening; exact times vary slightly between listings, so confirm before a late visit
- Parking: street parking near Marine Circle
- Getting there: Table View, a short walk back from the beachfront
- Good to know: better value than sea view; pair it with a walk along the promenade rather than expecting a window table
How These Four Compare
| Restaurant | Best for | Price level | Sea view | Hours snapshot |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Blowfish | Variety and views | Mid to higher | Table Mountain, most tables | ~6:30am-10pm daily |
| Cape Town Fish Market, Big Bay | Families | Mid-range | Table Mountain & Robben Island | ~11am-11pm daily |
| Catch 22 | Casual oceanfront | Mid-range | Oceanfront, Table Mountain | Closed Mon; noon-9pm Tue-Sat |
| Colala | Value | Budget | Limited | Late morning-late evening |
For the wider dining scene beyond sushi, this site’s roundup of the best restaurants in Blouberg and Table View covers steakhouses, cafés and seafood spots that didn’t make this sushi-specific list. If a sea-view table matters more than the menu, it’s worth checking Blouberg’s sundowner spots ranked by view and wind shelter, since several of these same restaurants double as sunset venues.
FAQ
Is there good sushi in Bloubergstrand?
Yes. Blowfish at Dolphin Beach is the area’s best-known sushi spot, with a conveyor-belt bar and Table Mountain views, and Cape Town Fish Market in Big Bay offers a comparable sushi and teppanyaki menu a short drive north.
Which restaurant has the best sushi view in Blouberg or Table View?
Blowfish and Cape Town Fish Market both face directly across Table Bay to Table Mountain. Catch 22 is a close third, sitting right on the Table View beachfront with similar sightlines.
Where can I get cheap sushi in Table View?
Colala Restaurant & Bar near Marine Circle is the most affordable option covered here, though it trades sea views for price.
Does the wind affect outdoor sushi dining in Blouberg?
It can. Table View and Blouberg sit directly in the path of the Cape Doctor, the strong summer southeaster, so an exposed outdoor table can turn uncomfortable within minutes. Check why Cape Town’s southeaster blows so hard or the difference between the sea breeze and the southeaster before picking an outside table, and ask whether a restaurant has sheltered indoor seating as a backup.
Can I get sushi delivered in Blouberg or Table View?
Several of these restaurants offer takeaway and delivery alongside sit-down dining, but coverage and delivery-app availability change, so check each restaurant’s own site or the usual delivery apps for current options before ordering.
