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 !!..

    Food not as good as it used to be. Hardly anyone there at lunchtime. Actually very disappointed ☹️

    The Melkbos Kitchen responded on Thu 02 Oct 25:
    Hi Candice, Thank you for your review, We are sorry to read that you did not enjoy your meal, we do however wish you would have brought this to the attention of either your waiter or our manager at the time that they each routinely checked on your table. We see from your docket that three prawn and chicken kebabs were ordered by your party which are one of our customers firm favorites and we can assure you that nothing has changed and dishes are constructed using best quality ingredients available. And sadly, yes it was tad quiet on Wednesday but to be expected it was mid-week, we had patches of rain throughout the day coupled with an unpleasant wind, both if which do unfortunately impact on peoples decisions to pop out for a lunch or not..... thankfully summer seems to be making its way in :-) Thank you once again

    Really good lunch. Was very busy so we waited a bit at times but it was a good ambience so we didn't mind too much.
