ABOUT US
This classic restaurant and pub is located in the heart of Kalk Bay and makes Capetonians proud as it has one of the most beautiful views in Cape Town. The venue is surrounded by the roaring, rolling waves and is filled with a down- to-earth, soulful energy. Visitors have raved about this establishment for years because of their unforgettable dining experiences.
The history of The Brass Bell gives this little gem an even bigger place in our hearts! Initially it was built as a council-run tea room in 1939, and has transformed into a beautifully bustling seaside eatery. Owner Tony White and his team have taken Brass Bell from strength to strength and have successfully transformed it into a household name, with several phenomenal different venues.
The heart of The Bell lies in Theatre Restaurant and Captains Deck. This exquisite dining area forms part of the original building. The atmosphere is relaxed and beautifully styled to give you breathtaking views and delicious food. A positive aspect about this place is that it is all- weather friendly as it has sea-facing windows running the full length of the restaurant. So come rain or sunshine you will have a view, which makes it the ideal venue for functions and events.
Be sure to visit Seaweed and Salt which hosts some of South Africa’s hottest bands and both new and old favourites, such as Johnny Clegg, Matthew Mole and Arno Carstens. You’ll be able to grab a seat along the tidal pools on lazy days and relax during the evenings with friends in a cosy environment.
