The Ultimate Blowfish Playlist

At Blowfish we love creating a vibe. That includes our food, our views, and our staff, but the music might be at the top of the list! We have curated a playlist for every atmosphere you could want at our restaurant. Have a listen:

1. Harry Styles – ‘Music For A Sushi Restaurant’

We couldn’t not include the song that perfectly encapsulates our restaurant! It is as if Harry Styles wrote this song specifically for us. Take a seat at our sushi belt and try our freshly made sushi that has left us ‘Daydreaming’ for days afterwards.

2. Elvis Presley – ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love’

An oldie but a goldie! A romantic date night is not complete without Elvis Presley crooning in the background. Have a candlelight dinner with Table Mountain in the background and celebrate love over a glass of champagne.

3. Florence and the Machine – ‘Free’

At Blowfish we believe that, after food, dancing can fix everything! We offer a venue for all sorts of events – from end of year functions to weddings. No matter the event, dancing should be a requirement. As Florence sings – ‘for a moment when I’m dancing, I am free’!

4. Sam Smith – ‘Love Me More’

Sometimes, you have to do some self-care for your mental and physical well-being. Sam Smith’s track reminds us that this should be a priority for everyone. Spoil yourself with a dinner, glass of wine, and amazing views at Blowfish.

5. Tamino – ‘Tummy’

Breakfast is a time to prepare for the day and find peace before the hard work begins. We create a relaxed vibe during our morning hours, to ensure that you can achieve these goals.

6. The Beatles – ‘Here Comes The Sun’

The Cape Town sunsets and sunrises are something to behold! Why not have a seat in our Conservatory and watch the sky change colours over Table Mountain.

7. Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros – ‘Home’

Our chosen families are very important. Eating with friends and family that feel like home is an experience we cherish every time. When an opportunity arises for all of us to dine together, we make it a special time to remember.

8. Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson – ‘Valerie’

This tune always puts a smile on our faces. When you need a pick-me-up, we provide the goods!

9. The Weeknd – ‘Save Your Tears’

What better start to the Weekend than The Weeknd! A Friday dinner at Blowfish can be the perfect ending to a busy week, or the start to a fun night of partying. Plus…wasabi!

10. Vampire Weekend – ‘Campus’

Sometimes university or school feels like it never ends. For our student customers, we promise an evening to forget the academic life and enjoy some off-time with friends.

11. Jeremy Loops & Ladysmith Black Mambazo – ‘This Town’

Local is lekker! This song captures our multicultural country so well. As they sing ‘the city is my heart’ and we couldn’t agree more.

12. Katrina and the Waves – ‘Walking On Sunshine’

Nothing screams summer like this song! Sip on cocktails all day long and enjoy the Cape Town summer at Blowfish.

We hope you love our playlist as much as we do! We are always open to recommendations, so feel free to tell us in person about or send a message with your favourite songs. We would love to add them to our playlist, which you can listen to here.
