Food Scene
They are right on the beach, have great space to chill or work. The surf shop downstairs (Gary's Surf School) is one of the first in the area and does it "old school". They have good taste in music and offers good coffee and light meals with healthy options like smoothies, juices and dairy/egg free options.

They have been around a long time and Dave (owner) is often in the restaurant. You won't miss him - there is a painting on the wall of him too. They have a good selection of food, make good coffee. They also stay open some evenings - just check with them for dinner options in advance. Great views of the surf from upstairs. They open early if you need to grab a coffee and croissant.

They have Italian interior - intimate and warm but a great selection of food to cover any taste. The pizza and pasta's are great, but pork belly, 1/4 chicken in creamy sauce and fish of the day can win you over too. They offer some beers and wine. Great for groups - there is something for everyone! Note that the waiters ALL work all the tables and share tips. This means good service and an efficient set up. Best to make a booking for dinner. They often run over into the street for seating (okay in Summer, but not too great on colder days)

It is an interesting spot with a colourful mix of anything under the sun used as decor. They are open in the mornings (just check ahead), but are better known for sunny lunches in summer in the garden, and evenings with live music. They have good food and a liquor license. Ask about the Silent Disco's - it is on again/off again due to neighbourhood laws, but make sure you do not miss out if they run these legendary events. They take bookings.

The view!!! Waves crashing on the windows during high tide. Walk on the pier and watch the fishing boats come in. There is a selection of restaurants by the harbour - from paperbox fish and chips take aways at "Kalkies" to crisp white table cloths at the Harbour House. You can go back more than once and try them all, but for something more upmarket and dressy, Harbour House will be the one. They also have a branch in the V&A Waterfront.

Probably the most iconic on the "Kalkbay strip" - this bakery opens around 6am (just check) in the morning for cyclist and commuters with options of coffee and freshly baked goods. Use the side entrance next to the parking lot. The main restaurant opens a little later and stays open from breakfast straight through to dinner. It is busy and often crowded, but a great vibe. They do not take bookings, but have a waiting list on a board by the door as you enter on busy days. Worth a visit.

Drinks & Nightlife
This is not a club or a bar, but the most lively joint in the area. They have a great selection of food and drinks, and the decor definitely creates a space for a good night. They take bookings for smaller groups (sit down tables or bar like tables towards the back). Easy going. They are open for breakfasts and lunch too. Often gets VERY busy on weekends.
