The Brass Bell

The Brass Bell has been part of the Kalk Bay coastline since 1939, growing from a seaside favourite into one of Cape Town's best-known hospitality destinations. The restaurant sits on the water's edge with uninterrupted ocean views, and it is made up of three distinctly themed sections: The Brass Bell, Seaweed and Salt, and the Theatre Restaurant, each with its own menu and atmosphere.

Guests can choose anything from fresh seafood enjoyed just metres from the ocean to comforting coastal classics or more elevated dishes for special occasions, with a focus on quality ingredients and generous portions. Long lunches often drift into sunset cocktails, with live music adding to the atmosphere through the day and evening.

It suits diners who want a seafood lunch, sunset drinks or a full celebration dinner with the ocean right alongside them in Kalk Bay.
