(CAPE TOWN) SÓTANO: A Seaside Dining Gem in Mouille Point
For fresh seafood and expertly crafted sushi in a prime location, SÓTANO in Mouille Point, just across from the Green Point Lighthouse, is the place to be. Known for its Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, SÓTANO offers a blend of local flavors and global influences, with dishes inspired by the co-owners’ culinary travels to cities like Barcelona and San Sebastián.
A Seaside Destination
SÓTANO has been a beloved fixture on the vibrant Mouille Point promenade for 14 years. Surrounded by attractions like Green Point Park, the V&A Waterfront, and Table Mountain, it’s the perfect spot for a relaxing meal whether you’re a local or a visitor.
Fresh Seafood & Sushi
Open all day, SÓTANO serves everything from breakfast to dinner. Signature dishes include the Seafood Espetada—a skewer of grilled prawns, octopus, calamari, and line fish—and the Spanish Paella, brimming with saffron rice, prawns, and mussels. Sushi lovers can enjoy signature creations like the Asian Soya Salmon and the Crunchy Calamari Roll.
“Our philosophy is simple,” says co-owner Brendon Crew, “It’s all about quality ingredients and careful preparation, not complicated presentation.”
Nautical Elegance
The interior of SÓTANO reflects its coastal location, with nautical-themed decor by Lauren Slinger, including ceramic fish by Angela Gomes and sea urchin-inspired pendants from Weylandts.
A Mediterranean Tradition of Sharing
Inspired by Mediterranean dining, SÓTANO’s menu is designed for sharing. The welcoming atmosphere is perfect for groups, and even your four-legged friends are pampered with a special “Fur Babies” menu.

SÓTANO is open daily from 7:00 AM to 10:30 PM. Whether you’re enjoying a leisurely meal or grabbing a quick bite, SÓTANO promises a memorable dining experience.
