Brewer & Butcher

If you are in Swakopmund do yourself a favor and visit this lovely situated restaurant. Atmosphere great....food very delicious and service amazing. Oysters and beer on tap was the highlight for me. Their burgers are to die for! And the view with dolphins swimming in the bay.

Food was ok but nothing incredible. The place is nicely decorated. Good selection of beers (served very cold which is good in Namibia where they have the bad German-traditional style of drinking beer quite warm…).

We wanted to try out the beach front restaurants in Swakopmund and little did we know that reservation was key, particularly, the Strand Hotel restaurants, which were fully-booked except for the Brewer and Butcher Restaurant. We had wished on getting a sea-view table but couldn't get one due to prior reservations other people had made. Therefore, it is recommended that you book a table in advance. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and ambiance. Due to cold weather, gas heaters were setup which made the place extra warm and cozy. I had a vegetarian option and loved it.

My colleague and I enjoyed an early dinner here. The location on the promenade is very central and makes sense for tourists. The decor treads the line between traditional and modern, with brewing paraphernalia visible in the dining room. The service was courteous and knowledgeable. I’d recommend booking if you’re going at a busy time. My colleague lamb shank was sublime, very juicy and tender with an excellent gravy. My T-bone was a little too rare and lacked any serious or interesting tasting notes, this could certainly be improved. The dark larger beer on the menu is certainly worth trying.

This turned out to be a pretty solid experience overall. I didn’t expect to find a proper oxtail dish by the beach, but they delivered — it was rich, tender, and surprisingly well-executed for a spot that feels more like a casual coastal hangout than a fine dining venue. They also serve fresh, hot desserts straight from the kitchen — the kind that arrive warm and feel more like a second course than an afterthought. I can’t remember the name of the one I had, but it came with a really good sweet warm sauce — definitely worth asking the staff for a recommendation on that. The restaurant is beachfront with a spacious outdoor seating area, which I much preferred, and it doesn't feel on the walking side. However open and breezy, with a relaxed vibe and smoking area. The indoor space felt a lot more crowded and noisy, and lacked the same level of comfort or privacy — so if you're after a quieter meal, sit outside if you can. One thing to flag: the service can be a bit slow, especially during busy hours. Not sure if that’s a regular thing or just bad timing on my visit, but it’s something to be aware of. All in all, good food, great location, and worth a visit — just don’t expect things to move fast when it’s packed.

We wanted the best restaurant around the area and we were told about a Pig restaurant. It was one beautiful atmospheric place with nice sea view outside, best service waiters. Couldn't help myself my and to take those beautiful pictures of the place . If your a a fun of Brewed bear this is the place for you. Art at it best.

Located in Strand hotel. Had a very nice vibe and craft beer on draft was fresh. I had the tasting menu all four beers. We did not order food. The vibe was excellent. The service was very good at the bar. Highly recommend

For great meat and wonderful wine selection you must try B&B in Swakopmund. The place is beautifully decorated, with a large closed porch overlooking the sea The food is great and our waiter, Rodnei, was very professional. We had a great evening. Highly recommended.
