Good food, but does not look nice! The fish has been very fresh all the times I have visited the place. You can also buy fresh fish with you, so that you can prepare a delicious court yourself!!!

Exceptional hospitality, food and service. We were a total of 30 people and all the staff including management went out of their way to ensure we had a great night!

What can one write about an average restaurant? Surely, this place does not excel because of its excellent food: This is rather average; not bad, but surely not quite living up to the expectations one might have when one enters a restaurant called Fish Market. To state the obvious, the menu is putting a lot of emphasis on fish. I... More

Really good food in down town Stellenbosch. Sushi was excellent, well chosen wines and relaxed atmosphere. Try their platters with selected seafood, yummi!

We were served rotten hake and the rest of the food was quite horrendous. Definitely give it a miss.

Others in the chain are a hit, but we have been there several times and always leave disappointed. The fish never seems absolutely fresh or properly cooked - something is lacking! Service is not the best. Not good value for money.

I have twice visited this restaurant in the last 6 months and both times the service was extremely slow and almost non-existent. On arrival we are shown our table and told who our waiter was but he only appeared once the whole evening and we had to get the attention of other waiters to order anything. The food is fine... More

We were in Stellenbosch for graduation day last week, and because town was so busy we revisited CTFM, to which I gave a poor review in January. Chris M, the owner responded to my review and promised an improvement if we visited again, and I'm glad to say this was the case. The food was good and the service was... More
