BRASS BELL RESTAURANTS & PUBS KALK BAY

 The Brass Bell Restaurants and Pubs, located in the trendy harbour town of Kalk Bay, is situated in False Bay, one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Surrounded by the rolling waves, the restaurant complex of terraced dining areas, is nestled into the tidal pool walls, and offers visitors an unforgettable and truly unique seaside dining experience. Built in 1939, the Brass Bell’s humble beginning as a council-run “Tea Room” is a far cry from the bustling complex of waterfront dining venues that it is today.

Brass Bell’s owner, Tony White has pioneered the ongoing development of the Brass Bell Restaurants and Pubs, and together with his dynamic hospitality team, has turned the Brass Bell from a once quaint seaside bistro into a beloved household name, boasting an impressive series of 9 different dining and events venues.

The location and splendour of this magical place has captured the imagination and hearts of tourists and locals alike, and it is now a world renowned and well-loved hotspot; welcoming guests with our warm hospitality and superb menu selections.

 All of our restaurants and pubs offer stunning views across False Bay, Kalk Bay mountains and of course the working Kalk Bay Harbour.

Watch the surfers on the world renowned Kalk Bay Reef, look out on the sparkling Indian Ocean for seals, whales and the fishing boats coming in and out of the bustling harbour with their daily catch. Brass Bell is just as enticing in winter as you find cosy corners with fireplaces and heaters that make you warm and comfortable. 

Awesome location, wholesome food & fabulous entertainment

Happy people, happy days...

"The service was friendly and efficient and we felt encouraged to visit again the next night, our last night in Kalk Bay. Again we had a lovely meal. This time we had starters of Mussels and a Greek Salad, followed by T-Bone (again) and fish cakes for me and this time a bottle of Pinotage. The food is excellent value and the location and service is lovely."

Daisy Duke, Swindon, United Kingdom

Great service, wonderful views, good food, delicious milkshakes

"Maxwell was our waiter and he was everything and more, attentive and knowledgeable. We had a lovely meal, delicious mussels, some surf and turf with fresh fish and chips paired with T-bone steak. Their guava and rosewater milkshake was a meal in itself, delicious!"

For Whom The Bell Tolls

"One of my favourite meals in SA. We had fisherman's platters which would feed a small army. Service was great, food was fantastic - particularly the mussels and seafood curry. We also had traditional Cape Town brandy cake for pud - and it was fantastic. The location, right on the sea, gives diners a great view of the waves crashing in."

Tony, London

"Most amazing views, lovely food and superb service by Gerry! She truly makes Brass Bell feel like home!
Thank you Gerry!"

Lizelle, CT

Birthday Brunch

"Catered for a lovely birthday brunch, the staff are friendly and the food is very tasty. Love going here with family and friends."

Hannah, Cape Town Central

Great food, great view

"Went for lunch, and two amazing burgers (one veggie). Cheap - around 110rand each and pretty big burgers too. We were lucky enough to watch whales out the window too!"
