Our first trip to Mussel Monger was by far the best. We tried the tempura mussels and they were excellent. We had tried dishes from two different restaurants, and these... read more were clearly the hands-down winners. Counter staff friendly and helpful. Mussels outstanding.

Visit number 2 was during load shedding. I would have thought that Mojo Mall would have a generator, but clearly, no power is outside the span of control of the restaurant.

Visit number 3 - on a Monday at 13:25. Load shedding had ended at 10:30 that morning, so we were all jazzed about each getting our own plate of mussels. Wrong! Sadly, they had just received their delivery (at 1:25 in the afternoon) and so there wouldn't be any mussels ready for at least 40 minutes. Really?

If the people who deliver your seafood are unreliable, then either find another company, or send one of your staff in a taxi and go get it so that it is READY when you open at 11am.

Receiving the delivery 2.5 hours after you were scheduled to open just doesn't cut it.

Sorry, Mussel Monger, 3 strikes and you're out - although we are very sad to say that.

  I visited Cape Town while on a kitesurfari in Jan 2020, staying in the area of SeaPoint so I could be close to nightlife. The Mussel Monger is located inside... read more Mojo Market which is basically an elaborate food court of independent restaurants and food vendors all under one roof. Overall it was great and was my favorite spot to eat both within Mojo Market and in the area.

Location/Ambiance: Great! It is located on one of the main thoroughfares in SeaPoint inside a popular dining area. Ambiance is shared with the rest of the Mojo Market although you get a great view of the stage for live entertainment. Its basically a bar counter with the bartender/cook right in front of you; they cook the food right there at the bar. Its sort of in a corner of the market so you will not get jostled by others.

Food: Great seafood specials on Mussels and good selection of Bubbly/Wine. Their signature dish is awesome!

Value: Great - the food taste you get / the price you pay is high. 300 ZAR gets you a solid meal and a couple of glasses of tasty wine.

Service: Good - the manager will totally work with you when she is taking care of you. If she is not there the staff are still friendly but not as on the ball. Not a complaint so much as a delineation of great service when the manager there and simply mediocre when she turns her back.

Overall: if you are in this area and are in the mood for seafood I highly recommend you try this establishment! The only weird thing is they do not accept cash - so make sure you have any card type payment ready to fo before ordering.

  Excellent

The “game changer” tempura mussels are sensational. Oysters are the biggest and cheapest in town.

  The mussels were absolutely amazing. Great food and amazing atmosphere. The lady who made the mussels thank you so much for making my night!
