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 (Summer):
Sun - Tues 10h00 – 17h00
Wed - Sat 10h00 - 21h00

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 !!..

    What was supposed to have been a memorable lunch turned out to be a disappointing experience. My partner ordered the battered fish and chips and when the meal arrived, the fish was undercooked. We called our waitress and she apologised and took the plate back to the kitchen. Straight after, the manageress came to our table and apologised and told us that it would be rectified and it would take one minute. One minute turned into more than 15 minutes by which time I had already almost finished my meal and my partner was no longer hungry and the whole experience was ruined. The point of eating out is to enjoy a meal together and not in relay. The manageress advised that even though the food was now provided 20 minutes after my own meal arrived it could not be cancelled and would be charged for whether it was eaten or not. Meals are meant to be shared and it was disappointing that the restaurants didn’t take responsibility for it’s tardiness. At least the car guard enjoyed his fish and chips.

    The chef Alwin(?) designed a new dish on Thur 18/5/2024 in the morning which we really enjoyed that afternoon: soup with plenty fine chicken and artichoke 'on top'! Quite filling. Beautiful plates! Berry Pot dessert...worth waiting 20 min for, reminiscent of homebaked hot apple pie with ice cream on top. Friendly service, best location....on the beach. Keep on doing what you are doing!
