“It Just Gets Better”: Popular UK Model Tries Out Seafood in Cape Town With No Menu Restaurant

• UK TikTok star Josh Miln visited a seafood restaurant in Hout Bay, Cape Town, where diners choose what they want to eat directly from the fishmonger
• The content creator and his dad tried a variety of fish, with Josh calling the langoustines some of the best he's ever had
• South Africans flooded the comments recommending other restaurants and praising Cape Town's seafood

A popular UK content creator has given Cape Town's seafood scene a massive thumbs up after visiting a unique restaurant in Hout Bay. TikTok star Josh Miln, who has over 20,000 followers and shares mini vlogs, food recipe videos, and fitness content, posted a video on 27 January 2026 with the caption:

"Another day trying food in Cape Town 😮‍💨 This place just gets better and better."

In the video, Josh visited The Godfather in Hout Bay with his dad. He explained that the seafood restaurant doesn't have a traditional menu. Instead, diners walk up to the fishmonger and choose whatever fish they want from the display. Josh said he'd never been to a restaurant before where they don't have a menu, calling it "slightly fascinating." He chose tuna whilst his dad went for sardines.

The first thing that arrived at their table were various sauces. They tried a bit of the hot sauce and agreed it was hot but not bad, with Josh saying it had a hint of heat but tasted amazing.

Their starters arrived next, which included crayfish. Josh's dad commented that the server was right when she suggested taking two because they were quite large. Josh squeezed lemon on his crayfish and pulled out the meat in one go, declaring that the langoustines were some of the best he'd ever had.

His dad then tried his sardines. Josh tried a bite but admitted they weren't for him. Another plate arrived with salad and fish, which Josh said looked pretty good and healthy. Finally, their main courses came out, with Josh getting a tuna steak and his dad ordering a king clip. After eating, both men were very impressed.
