7. The Tug Restaurant
The Tug Restaurant has over the years developed into one of Namibia’s most iconic institutions situated on the unforgivable harshness of the Atlantic shores. A restaurant like no other in this country.
Dining here is rustic and definitely not fine dining. It takes you on a culinary journey renowned for its freshness, great local seafood, tantalizing desserts and a vast array of South African and International Wines.
Designed and built around the original oil-fired Danie Hugo Tug boat which was constructed in the ship yards of Port Glasgow Scotland, she saw her final operating days in 1984 and then received her resting place and new lease of life on the 12th December 1993 to become what is known today as The Tug restaurant. The Bar and upper Bridge is where diners can experience the original and authentic Danie Hugo Tug Boat.
Not only is this venue situated on the very frontline of Swakopmund with unforgettable panoramic views of the Atlantic ocean, it is also a landmark for folk to frequent, to unwind, sample the culinary treasures on offer and to hear and watch the ocean at play.
Be your own skipper and experience the Tug restaurant in Swakopmund which is located at the entrance to the original jetty on Molen Road, a short stroll from the towns centre.
