BACKGROUND
Back in 1997, Douw Krugmann started something special — a little fish restaurant at the V&A Waterfront with a simple but powerful idea: fresh ingredients, a great atmosphere, and food that people would actually love. Fast forward to today, and that same passion has grown into a proudly South African collection of brands that we think are pretty hard to beat.
“At West Coast Group, we’re passionate about food, good vibes & cold beers.”
