🌸🔥 Spring may be here, but Cape Town still has a few crisp, nippy days up it’s sleeve. And when there’s a chill in the air, there’s no better place to settle in than beside the fire at The Black Marlin. 🦐🦪

Tuck into a delicious seafood platter, pour yourself a glass of wine and enjoy the warmth of the fireplace while the ocean does its thing outside. 🌊🍷
Because spring doesn’t always mean warm days — and we’re perfectly happy to make the most of the cosy ones. ❤️
