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.

    I'm all for authentic and rustic, but the bathrooms was a real deal-breaker

    Our first time at the Brass Bell, and most certainly not our last. Food, service and great value for money.

    Oysters have become tasteless. Sushi is of a questionable quality. All was better here just 3 years ago.

    Firstly a mix up with our reservation had us walking from one end of the restaurant to the other to be sent back again and then eventually taken to a table by the person manning reception who had to personally speak to the colleague at the other section; whilst we had a confirmed reservation and were on time for it. We waited for menus for a long while before being given any attention from a waiter. Waited for drinks - hubby actually had to get up from his seat to find our waiter to ask him to bring my drink that was on the bar counter for a long while. Initially the drink was brought to the table then taken back to ensure it was non-alcoholic only after asking if the waiter was sure it was what I ordered - he wast so he took it back to the bar and then another long wait. Our table was not a priority and it was not a good first experience. Brassbell was personally recommended to me by the family who used it as a setting for their filming of Summertide so my expectations from a service point of view were very disappointing. If we were not a party of 7 pax and the gratuity was not mandatory I would not have paid my 10% willingly.
