Ocean Basket is expanding its Durban footprint with the launch of its newest restaurant, bringing its much-loved seafood experience to La Lucia. Located in La Lucia Ridge in Saxony Ilala Centre, the new store officially opened its doors on 8 August 2025.
To celebrate the occasion, Ocean Basket hosted an exclusive cocktail party that welcomed select media, local influencers, and special guests for a sneak peek of the new space. Guests enjoyed a spread of seafood canapés and signature Ocean Basket sushi, paired with wines from its official wine partner, Van Loveren. The evening offered a flavourful preview of what diners can expect, along with plenty of picture-perfect moments.
More than a restaurant, the new Ocean Basket restaurant reflects the brand’s deep-rooted values: family, generosity, and sustainable food served with flair. The store design blends coastal comfort with contemporary finishes, creating a space where friends, families, and seafood lovers can gather and feast together.
Whether you’re popping in for a weekday pick-me-up or settling in for a long, laughter-filled lunch, this new spot promises all the seafood joy you know and love. You can find Ocean Basket at shop FF01, Saxony Ilala Centre.
