From the Ocean to Your Plate: My Taste Adventure at Ocean Basket
My family and I had the pleasure of dining at Ocean Basket Canal Walk, and it was an experience worth sharing. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed with warm, complimentary bread that set the tone for a relaxing and enjoyable meal.
The ambiance at Ocean Basket Canal Walk is truly inviting—a perfect blend of casual comfort and lively energy. Our waiter was attentive and friendly, eager to recommend dishes and ensure we had everything we needed. Their excellent service made us feel valued and well taken care of throughout our visit. To top it off, the kids received colouring pages and pencils to keep them busy, making it a family-friendly environment.
We decided to try a bit of everything! We kicked off our meal with the lunchbox specials, which offered great variety and value. However, the real stars of the show were the seafood burger specials, available at an unbeatable R75 until the end of May. These burgers come with crispy chips and are perfect for seafood lovers.
Each burger was bursting with flavour and cooked to perfection, showcasing fresh ingredients that truly satisfied our cravings.
We rated the burgers as follows:
- Prawn Burger – 9/10
- Calamari Burger – 8/10
- Panko Fish Burger – 9/10
To complement our meal, we ordered milkshakes that were thick and creamy—absolutely delicious and indulgent. We also tried the Watermelon Spritzers, which were refreshingly cool and ideal for a hot day, adding a fruity sparkle to our lunch.
For dessert, we couldn’t resist the famous Ocean Basket Sundaes, available for just R35 each. We chose the Lemon Meringue Sundaes, and they did not disappoint. The tangy and sweet lemon meringue, lemon curd, shortbread, and vanilla ice cream that melted in your mouth were the perfect ending to our meal. We also opted for a baked yogurt cheesecake, which was equally delightful and fruity, topped with berry coulis.
Our visit to Ocean Basket Canal Walk was truly memorable. The warm atmosphere, attentive service, tasty specials, and irresistible desserts made for a fantastic dining experience. If you’re in the mood for fresh seafood and great value, I highly recommend stopping by before the end of May to enjoy their seafood burger specials. And don’t forget to save room for the Saturdaes—they’re simply the best!
I’m already looking forward to my next visit!
