The Reef
The Reef in Kalk Bay is a spot that works any time of day, especially catching a sunset over the ocean. Come for the generous portions—fish and chips or prego rolls seem to hit the spot—and stay for the beachside atmosphere. Ideal for families since it's pet-friendly, but couples and groups easily fit into the lively mood. It's new but finding its stride quickly with a varied menu and attentive staff. Good to know: the views are stunning from every corner, but book ahead if you fancy a window seat.
Pets are welcome in the patio area if you're bringing a dog.
Book ahead for a window seat; all seats have sea views.
They sell soft serves, handy if you're walking by.
Expect some growing pains with service but the setting and atmosphere more than compensate.
