Wednesdays are for celebrating a week halfway done. Treat yourself to a lunch special to carry you through to Friday. We’ve rounded up a couple of eateries that offer something for you to enjoy on your lunch today:
Bertha’s Restaurant
Bertha’s has become a well-known stopping point in Simon’s Town, both with the locals as well as international travellers. It is situated on the quay in Simonstown, with prime views of the Naval base, yacht club and False Bay, just off of the “Simon’s Town Historic Mile”. The Mile covers all the buildings along St George’s Street (the main road) from the railway station to the East Dockyard gates.
Bertha’s affords guests spectacular views over the harbour and False Bay. Guests are able to take the train to Simons Town and then a leisurely 10 minute walk along the Historical mile to the Restaurant. The walk covers and captures the history of Simon’s Town from 1741 when the Dutch East India Company decided that Simon’s Bay would be their place for winter anchorage. From 1813-1957, Simon’s Town was home to the Royal Navy of the South Atlantic, and from 1957 to today, is home to the South African Navy.
Fresh Seafood, Catch of the Day, Oysters, Prawns and our renowned Bertha’s Seafood Platters are some of our signature dishes. The Restaurant has a “nautical” feel to it, with Just Nuisance and photos from the Historical Society displayed on the walls.
What’s the special?
Their R109 lunch or dinner specials include their famous fish and chips, calamari strips, 200g steak and chips or their spatchcock chicken and chips.
Pair your lunch special with one of Bertha’s cocktails or wines from their extensive drinks menu.
