Cape Town Willoughby & Co Restaurant

Day two’s meal of the day was taken at Willoughby and Co in the Victoria and Alfred waterfront which is one of the number one tourist attractions of Cape Town.  I had walked what seemed like the whole waterfront eyeing up potential dining locations and again using the criteria of the busiest must be best went to Willoughby’s!  Grilled kinklip with lemon butter was the special of the day and as this was an unfamiliar fish to me I went for it.  TripAdvisor ratings put this place at No16 out of 260 other eateries in the area; although the last review (not so positive) echo my own feelings.  The TripAdvisor comments are mainly for the sushi which seems to be judging it on its size, something I have never associated with sushi.

Staff were certainly friendly but in that no eye contact way and with little purpose other than to take the order and deliver the meal.  Sadly for the business there was no satisfaction check or query of whether I might like anything else (yes more lemon and some black pepper for a start!).  Sadly my kinklip was raw in the middle; perhaps this was the sushi rearing its head again!  It took a good minute of waving to attract someone’s attention which was a tad embarrassing as the seating I had picked was in the centre of the main shopping thoroughfare.  My waitress, whose tunnel vision prevented her from seeing me waving, then stopped at my table and noticing that my main plate had been cleared asked how I must have enjoyed my fish as I’d eaten it so quickly!  Considering she had only delivered the said meal one and a half minutes earlier I was surprised to say the least.  Apologies were made and the kinklip was returned correctly cooked and with fresh chips, hurrah!
