Christmas Lunch at Flukes Restaurant at the Southern Right Hotel

Head out towards Cape Point and enjoy a Christmas lunch at Flukes Restaurant in Glencairn


Situated between the coastal towns of Fish Hoek and Simon’s Town in the quaint suburb of Glencairn, The Southern Right Hotel has been a landmark on the False Bay coast for more than a century.

The hotel’s décor is simple yet effective, with warm minimalism creating a friendly, welcoming vibe as you enter the establishment.

In Flukes Restaurant, large framed 19th-century prints of seafaring vessels adorn the walls, with handmade wirework whales depending from the ceiling.

Flukes Restaurant specialises in serving up dishes that capture guests’ imaginations. Portions have been described as being “whale-sized” and not only tantalise taste buds, but are also aesthetically pleasing.

The menu offers a variety of dishes that capture the essence of Cape cuisine.
