Upper Quay Elevated seafood dining at the V&A Waterfront, Cape Town, refined cuisine, harbour views & premium SA wines — the perfect setting for a special occasion.

Welcome to Upper Quay, Cape Town’s elevated waterfront dining destination, perched above the iconic Quay Four at the V&A Waterfront. With sweeping views across the harbour and a sophisticated yet relaxed setting, Upper Quay is made for memorable dining — from leisurely lunches and business occasions to intimate dinners and celebrations. Our seasonal à la carte menu brings together the best of land and sea. Expect fresh seafood, succulent Tiger Giant Prawns, the catch of the day, beautifully crafted sushi, generous seafood platters, premium cuts of meat and a considered selection of South African wines and whiskies. For the ultimate combination, our Surf & Turf brings the best of both worlds together, pairing premium red meat with seafood for a rich, indulgent dining experience. Thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented and served with the harbour as your backdrop, Upper Quay is dining with a view — and an experience worth lingering over.
