Fodor's Expert Review The Raft

$$ Walvis Bay Seafood

The Raft enjoys a spectacular view from its perch out over beautiful Walvis Bay Lagoon. Divided into two parts—bar to the right, restaurant to the left—this warm and friendly establishment seems to be a favorite with locals. The menu is extensive, with the usual array of seafood, sushi, red meat (try the Bushman Platter, if you're really hungry), and the requisite pasta and vegetarian options (pizzas and burgers available at the bar only). The bar area lacks character but the view from the restaurant section is perfect for a lovely relaxing lunch.
