Melkbos Kitchen features a front row seat to the most beautiful sunsets in South Africa.

Come enjoy a delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner with us. We have a varied menu (with vegan options) that changes seasonally as well as a blackboard with current linefish or any other specials we may be running at the time

Restaurant Hours (Winter):
Sun, Mon & Wed 10h00 – 17h00
Thur, Fri & Sat 10h00 - 21h00
Tuesdays Closed

Kindly note that we are in a residential area with strict zoning restrictions so our last food orders and last drinks rounds are called well in advance to comply with these rather boring but strictly enforced zoning restrictions.

We do love children and furry friends but are primarily an adult based environment so do not offer a play area for children or a kiddies menu. Furry ones are welcome in our outdoor area only as long as they remain on their leash, are not aggressive to other guests, furry ones or our team and they may not sit on our chairs or be fed in the dining area.

We are a strictly no smoking venue, regardless of what you puff ... a bench is however provided in an area outside of the dining areas for our smoking guests.

As a limited capacity venue we do advise that reservations are made well in advance..
And after all of that blah blah .. we look forward to welcoming you to our space soon and just know you will enjoy !!..

    Yes, we really enjoyed our dinner. The overall experience was great. We were seated on the covered veranda, from where we had a marvellous view of the sea. The service was very professional, friendly and quick. I chose the peri peri chicken liver as a starter, which was delicious. The fish was very good, pure and without chi-chi (the salat was a little uninspired though).The wines are offered at affordable prices. A recomendated place if you are looking for a casual restaurant with very good cuisine.

    Melkbos Kitchen is a gem worth visiting! The food is absolutely outstanding, with every dish beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Whether you're in the mood for fresh seafood, hearty mains, or indulgent desserts, they never miss the mark. The service is equally impressive. The staff are friendly, attentive, and always ready to go the extra mile to make your dining experience unforgettable. As for the view, it's simply breathtaking. Overlooking the serene ocean, the restaurant offers a picturesque backdrop, especially during sunset. Highly recommend Melkbos Kitchen for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. It's a perfect blend of delicious food, excellent service, and stunning views.
