2 Oceans Aquarium restaurant
I was at the waterfront with my dad to look for gifts to take back home for friends, and my fathers clock struck lunchtime. He raved about the 2 Oceans Aquarium restaurant having been satisfied on a previous visit. It is a bit of a walk away from the main V&A drag but not much.
I must say when we were seated I was a bit dubious about all the children in the restaurant - so yes it is a very child friendly place and they have a childrens menu. We ordered a chicken curry which came with sambals of a tomato and onion salad, sour cream, chutney and a roti (sort of pancake) the curry itself was served in a separate bowl which I found a bit messy to tip onto the plate to eat with the rice. The curry was quite tangy and it was a very adequate portion although my dad had previously been given a much bigger bowl of the salad so he felt sort changed. I suspect the fish and chips are nice here if you can bring yourself to order them after just seeing "Nemo". Please note the sandwiches are not served with chips, and the salads looked a helthy portion.
I am not sure that I would visit the Shorline cafe again partly due to the rowdy children but also because service was extremely slow.
