The first restaurant in Doringbaai!
Cabin Restaurant specializes in Seafood.
Visitors to Doringbaai want to have a taste of what the sea offers. Hence our love affair with seafood. You are spoiled for choice and if it is difficult, order a platter to taste it all.
However, meat lover, you should not feel left out. You can choose from fall of the bone Spareribs and juicy steaks and on occasion we slow roast oxtail and serve it with a thick gravy and vegetables. Our home cooked meals like oxtail and offal are to be ordered 24 hours in advance.
Cabin Restaurant caters for groups, weddings, year-end functions, bus tours etc and can accommodate up to 40 guests in the restaurant. Depending on the weather you can book the deck as well where we can accommodate an extra 20 guests. The best news is that we do not charge you venue hire.
The view from Cabin Restaurant
You have breathtaking views of the sea and glorious sunsets. If you are lucky you will be able to see migrating whales from the restaurant from July to November.
