Situated in the picturesque old-world charm of Kalk Bay’s working harbour, Live Bait has an iconic location. Built on the breakwater, the restaurant has exquisite views overlooking False Bay and the mountains beyond on one side, and the colourful harbour on the other. With a wall of windows, it allows the outside in and creates a breath-taking backdrop to enjoy a meal.

From late July, the Humpback and Southern Right whales come into the bay to calf and are regularly visible to diners. In summer our sun deck allows diners to experience unforgettable outdoor seascapes.

All meals are simply prepared, with an emphasis on fresh flavours of seafood.
