The Brass Bell Restaurants and Pubs, located in the trendy harbour town of Kalk Bay, is situated in False Bay, one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Surrounded by the rolling waves, the restaurant complex of terraced dining areas, is nestled into the tidal pool walls, and offers visitors an unforgettable and truly unique seaside dining experience. Built in 1939, the Brass Bell’s humble beginning as a council-run “Tea Room” is a far cry from the bustling complex of waterfront dining venues that it is today.

Brass Bell’s owner, Tony White has pioneered the ongoing development of the Brass Bell Restaurants and Pubs, and together with his dynamic hospitality team, has turned the Brass Bell from a once quaint seaside bistro into a beloved household name, boasting an impressive series of 9 different dining and events venues.

The location and splendour of this magical place has captured the imagination and hearts of tourists and locals alike, and it is now a world renowned and well-loved hotspot; welcoming guests with our warm hospitality and superb menu selections.

    The food was ok. But not worth the cost to be honest. The toilets were pathetic. For what you charge you should renovate your bathrooms asap. It’s not safe nor hygienic. The waiter was good (Eugene) but was working all alone. The value for money was not great at all. Spicy rice not spiced at all. I am visiting in SA as I reside overseas now. I was excited to go back to Brassbell as I haven’t been there in years. Was very disappointed at the state of the building and the toilets.

    Food was a bit cold. We were left for extended periods without service and had to ask another waitress to call our waitress a few times.

    Very disappointed that a quiet date night was spoiled by a large group of people who decided to not use the bar but rather stand around drinking and carousing in the restaurant. When we asked them to make use of the bar we were met with abuse. Management made no effort to move them to the bar area.
