A Restaurant located in a building reminiscent of the golden days of Muizenberg with the â??finest seascape viewsâ? as it was reviewed in the South African Railways and Harbour magazine of 1913.
The red bricked stone faced Station building with the teak clock tower was designed by a pupil of Sir Herbert Baker and opened by the Minister of Transport, the Hon. Henry Burton on 7th June 1913. The fine proportions and generosity of space of the interior is characteristic of this period.
Today, this Edwardian red-brick structure with arched sandstone entrances still grace the skyline of Muizenberg and carries Fogeys Railway House Restaurant. The Restaurant is situated above what still serves as the Railway Station, with a décor that speaks of the sheer elegance of the â??20â??s. On entering the building with its still original high sealing and wooden floor one is instantly transported to the 1920â??s, where little old men enjoyed their tea in their black suites and top hats.
The Restaurant serves delectable global cuisine and breath-taking views of the False Bay.
The menu could be described as light South African / Mediterranean with a well thought out selection of fish, meat and vegetarian dishes ~ concentrating on fresh ingredients and fresh ideas with attention to detail.
