Quirky little place! Mussel pot for starters. Linguine di mare for mains. It was amazing..

Great for breakfast and Mediterranean-inspired lunches , Olympia Cafe & Deli sets a high standard for relaxed rustic cafes next to the ocean. In fact, I’m sure Olympia is one of the reasons locals.. Read more

A firm favourite & an institution in Kalk Bay! The lamb chops are always a winner, but all their food is delicious! Take your own wine for a small corkage fee .

Mealie meal porridge and almond croissant are delicious. Do not have the chicken salad croissant-it’s completely void of taste.

Michelle Packer

Chipolata breakfast with a croissant amazing! Seafood pasta amazing! Just sooo busy warning! The bakery is the best in Cape Town for sure, best palmiers I've ever had!

Iris Duvekot

Best Mussels i've ever had! Awesome bread & cheese cake . Friendly staff and great vibes. Love this place!

Yuri Ramocan

The fish is great. Try their famous kingklip or the hidden menu item—seafood pasta . The bread and soup is great as well .

Paul B

Famous for their breakfast and lunch but probably the best quality evening meals anywhere in the south peninsula. Not for the pretentious . Its rustic and full of regulars.

Alex Faure

Everything! Love this place!

Janet Sewell

Nice place - the food smells amazing. Coffee is good but if you want to sit down in a comfy chair to read a book this is not the place.

Noel Harrison

Some of the best coffee the Deep South has to offer! Very often will bump into the regulars who have been going there for many years!

Emily Riordan

Just Fabulous! The food, the vibe, and my dog is allowed in!

Breakfast options are not so healthy. The omelette is super rich

Jacqui De Agrela

The best mussels in cream sauce !

Michael PdA

Awesome place. No disapointments at all.

Jill Grindley-Ferris

Bakery around the corner sells amazing baked breads nd pastries !

Dominique le Roux

Lesson just learnt: eat the lobster bisque with a dessert spoon and it tastes too salty and spicy . Psychology of taste. So hold out for the soup spoon.

Mark Munro

Delightful mussels by the sea.

Chad Hart

Don't come after 3pm. Appalling service. No, it's not ok if the cider and white wines are served warm! Not even the baked desserts and famed coffee are anything to write home about. Disappointing.

Pg Tops

Attention all cyclists! The cappucino here can save your life...

Patrick Craig

Have the seared tuna nisoise salad , amazing!

Dominique le Roux

Extremely dog friendly . No prebooking; just write your name on the board when you arrive.

Oded's Kitchen

Check out the Oded's Kitchen range of preserves in the shop/bakery.

Olympia Bakery is around the corner and has seriously good croissants and chiabatta 's.

Kanthan Pillay

Half-portions of pasta are large enough for non-Americans.(Ouch! Who threw that?)

Pamo

I have had loads of coffee and their cappucino rocks....

JenKudu

The service is deplorable! Incredibly rude male waiter . Too bad because the seafood linguini is very good. However I won't return.

Marguerite Vermeulen

Shortbread

Vivienne Yudaken

Leave space for the lemon tart .

Menke B

Spinach and feta croissant !

Debi Lindsay

Disgusting service, walked out after futile attempts to get served!

2 gün üstüste aynı restorana gelmek ve aynı yemeği yemek hiç adetim değildir, ama bu midye beni baştan çıkarttı
