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 were a group of four and we ordered the seafood platter for two, which is sufficient for all of us to share, as always, the food, service was excellent.

    All the rules that are being mentioned in writing when making a booking, then again when looking on the menu and again by the waiter, is giving off the vibe that you are not really welcome. I respect that there are certain rules they need to adhere to, but the way it's being communicated to their customers gives of the wrong message to my opinion. The waiter was friendly but kept on checking up way too often, giving us the feeling we needed to rush through our dinner because they were on a schedule..

    The Melkbos Kitchen responded on Sun 05 May 24:
    Hi Ruby Thank you for the review and comments regarding rules. This has sadly come about from years of experience and dealing with instances where many guests do not take note of the rules at reservation stage or even on the menu and we then end up with a situation where guests are reluctant to order or leave at the prescribed time. Sadly the property has very strict zoning restrictions attached to it that we have to comply with and we have found that rather too much information than not enough works better for us in the long run. thank you
