Great bistro food and a brilliant vibe. Get there early by 6pm for dinner, or be prepared to queue, as they don't take bookings. They're open from early for excellent breakfasts, and take last dinner orders at 9pm. Take it from us, they do the best fish in Kalk Bay — the pan-fried fish of the day, or the seafood linguine, or the mussels in white wine sauce are all fantastic.
The Olympia Bakery shop is open very early for fresh bread, croissants and pastries - a 3-minute walk from our property...

The fantastics baker/owner, Candice, is a Kalk Bay free spirit. Her pastries (especially the chocolate croissants) are worth ditching any diet for, and the breakfast and lunch menus are light and tasty. Fantastic views over the bay and the eclectic furnishings make this a unique venue. Dogs welcome.

We love the cinnamon sticks, the onion rye bread, the ciabatta (always a fresh loaf for you when you arrive in our flat), the kitke, the white loaf, the Greek shortbread (we usually provide some for you in the welcome pack), the crunchies, the croissants. Actually, we like everything there.
