Ocean Basket

Ocean Basket

The Ocean Basket is located in a plaza called The Zone @ Rosebank, which is adjacent to the Rosebank Mall. One of the ladies at the front desk of our hotel (The Rosebank Hotel) strongly recommended we eat at the Ocean Basket if we were interested in seafood. It was only a five-minute walk for us. Our group of six arrived at the restaurant around 7:30pm on a Saturday evening in early September and were seated promptly. However, there was a waiting list to be seated by the time we left around 9pm. We chose the outdoor seating under the heat lamps. Several of the restaurants in this area offer this type of terrace seating. We had a very nice, attentive waiter who told us we were the first Americans he'd ever met. I hope we represented our country well.

The Ocean Basket has a chain of restaurants throughout southern Africa. Its menu has quite a few seafood choices on it: prawns, fishes, mussels, clams, etc. Most of these dishes are served with a side of rice, fries, or salad. My wife and I had difficulty choosing an entrée so we decided to share the Platter For Two. It contained samples of several seafood entrées.

The Ocean Basket serves generous portions of food to its customers in the pan in which the food was cooked. There are plates on the table but you can eat right out of the pan if you want. Since my wife and I had the Platter For Two, our mountain of seafood and fries was served on a platter. All of us enjoyed our meals. My wife loved the kingklip and I couldn't seem to get enough of the big, sweet prawns. Our meals with soft drinks converted to about $12 per person.

I regret I never got a chance to thank the nice lady at the front desk of our hotel for recommending the Ocean Basket. It was a great choice for my seafood craving.

This resturant is a chain with locations in Pretoria, Johannesberg, and Cape Town. It has good seafood with generous portions and excellent presentation. The atmosphere is relaxed.
