You won't find much truly Namibian food (although local venison, seafood, and Namibian oysters are superb); the cuisine is mainly European, often German, though international variety and standards increasingly are found in the larger towns. Lodges usually serve good homestyle cooking—pies, pastries, fresh vegetables, lots of red

You won't find much truly Namibian food (although local venison, seafood, and Namibian oysters are superb); the cuisine is mainly European, often German, though international variety and standards increasingly are found in the larger towns. Lodges usually serve good homestyle cooking—pies, pastries, fresh vegetables, lots of red meat, mouthwatering desserts, and the traditional braai (barbecue). Because of its past as a German colony, Namibia is known for its lager. South African wine, which is excellent, is readily available.
This popular quintessential seaside restaurant is under new management as of late 2021 and has received a facelift, plus a distinct Portuguese flavor to its new menu – worry not as their world-famous grilled or fried calamari is still available. This is the place to satisfy your appetite for seafood, with a decent selection of meat options, as well as a superb view. Sitting right on the water's edge, Anchors is the perfect spot to sip a glass of sparkling wine and eat the freshest west coast oysters, as you watch boats go to and fro.
It's the perfect sundowner spot as it faces the setting sun as it slides down into the horizon over the sea.
This restaurant, situated right at the end of Swakopmund's famous Jetty 1905, is a cocoon of warmth where patrons can sip wine and eat oysters while watching the Atlantic Ocean heave around them. Seafood is the recommended food choice—try the crumbed Camembert starter or the finger-licking-good grilled prawns—but there are meat options as well. The glass walls and gentle swaying makes for exciting sensations.
Be on the safe side and make a reservation for dinner.
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.
It's all about location at the Tug, which, as its name suggests, is actually an old tugboat that has been raised up and moored next to the jetty. The restaurant is known for its fresh, locally sourced seafood—especially the local Walvis Bay oysters—which are some of the best in the world, but there are creative seafood alternatives like venison (oryx, springbok, kudu and zebra), though not many vegetarian meals. The outside deck is a coveted location for a summer sundowner and it's always bustling with visitors and locals; alternatively enjoy an after-dinner drink in the bar which feels like you're in the boat's bridge. Be aware of the menu pricing, as they charge extra for sides and sauces that should be included with the meal.
Try to reserve (at least a week in advance) a sea-view table so you can watch the ocean crashing just beneath you.
