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 !!..

    We had a great time with beautiful views from the front porch. Only reason for 4 stars is that 2 items on the bill showed higher prices than menu/special menu, but only noticed afterwards, my loss...

    Melkbos Kitchen, fantastic as always. We had not booked, but just felt like their good food. They could only offer us a table outside, which was surprisingly pleasant in the weak wintery sunshine. It was good to sit looking out to the sea after being cooped up inside , doing our taxes all weekend. The staff are so welcoming & friendly , greeted us like old friends. And the food was sublime. They never fail to deliver a great experience. Thank you for treating us to a welcome break.
