Henry BetteridgeNovember 27, 2014Rustic restaurant in a great location, right at the water's edge. Nice friendly staff delivers excellent service. Anything on the menu is fresh and mouth watering.

Vitaly LeprekonAugust 17, 2014Amazing fish. Their platter is worth to try - by far! Wine list is ok - you can find what fits the meal (try Sauvignon!). Ousters are nice... And that's not expensive at all!
Nicole MillsJuly 1, 2023The Brass Bell is a must visit when in Kalk Bay. The seating is built out into the sea, so it unfortunately gets flooded when there are unusually high tides. Good selection of food. Reasonably priced.
Driaan JordaanDecember 7, 2018Set on Kalk Bay beach with its own tidal pool. Seating includes a cosy indoor area as well as a wooden deck that overlooks False Bay. Tip: They serve excellent cocktails.- Driaan JordaanNovember 10, 2018Set on Kalk Bay beach with its owe tidal pool.

Graham MullerApril 9, 2019Platter for 2 includes perlemoen, but not platter for 1. Haven’t tasted perlemoen? Order platter for 2 and share. Like snails, perlemoen only comes to life with garlic butter sauce - ask for this!
FreshMarch 26, 2018A huge place with various section and a pool. Good value, live oysters. Attentive service
Gary DamonSeptember 7, 2017The burger was great. The views spectacular. I am sure in summer this is the place to be.
Michelle PackerAugust 3, 2014One of best spots! Well priced, yummy burgers and fish&chips, has a smoking section which is great! Best view!
Alex CJuly 31, 2015Lively vibe and great outdoor areas with ocean views. The perfect stop on a sunny afternoon
Saffron BeatsonMarch 19, 2015Great place! Make sure to book in advance so you can sit as close to the sea as possible.
vantonNovember 20, 2015Even if I didn't have the opportunity to watch any whales, the food was good and the view really picturesque.
Tomas FurlongNovember 4, 2018Kalk bay is good for a half day trip; plenty of antique stores along the beech; Brass Bell is good for drinks.
- Rene ScroobyDecember 26, 2020Good food from pizza to smack of fresh seafood at the harbors edge and cold draft beer
Great pizza. Sit next to the windows and watch the waves. Especially on a windy day - big crashing waves. Best view!
Jean-Pierre MaraisApril 5, 2014I must say, the quality of the seafood has gone down significantly. It is sad if you can get better seafood in Gauteng than right next to the ocean.
Angelos PapakonstantinouOctober 15, 2011Sea food platter for two. Good and tasty. And the jumping whales are an added bonus.
Marrit Van der schaarJune 8, 2014Awesome!! Do not go somewhere else if you want to have good fresh fish!
The spare ribs have got to be some of the best in the Western Cape

"Really good n fresh seafood. The grilled line fish of the day is superb. They have live lobster and abalone tank, so I suppose they don't take the word fresh casually"
