The food is of high standard, just delicious. Such a relaxing atmosphere and welcoming staff. The manager is very hands-on. The Reef Cafe is situated at a beautiful and peaceful location. Very central. Right in front of Reef Cafe is a beautiful walk along wooden pathways through nature reserve where you get scenic views of sandunes, nature reserve and sea. If you like to walk or hike, its awesome to walk towards the left to Mermaids Pool, a secluded little bay. Climb the staircase and walkways over the cliff to Nahoon Corner where lots if rock pools are lovely to explore at low tide. A short walk further takes you to Nahoon main beach for the best swimming and boarding. A little further on you will reach the mouth and Nahoon River to explore. Towards the right of Reef Cafe you can also explore the stunning rocky beach and caves.

Lovely relaxing place for a meal. I completely forgot to take a photo of our breakfast, but it was super delicious and well presented. We ordered the cheesecake after our breakfast, definitely remembered to take a photo of that. We will be back. The view is beautiful.

Nice space with a good view. Staff friendly and food is good. Needs a bit of maintenance outside.

A great place to enjoy a meal after exploring the boardwalks. Warm and friendly service ... when we had to pay, it was loadshedding and their card machines didn't work. They gave their banking details and let us go ... the first place we left without paying for our meal (we did pay once we got home ๐Ÿ˜Œ). Don't miss this place when you're close to East London - you will be surprised with the food and service!

UPDATE: Below was the first time I visited the restaurant, I have since been there many more times and every time the food is amazing and staff super friendly. Recently, I witnessed whales and it just added to the magic and appeal of the restaurant for me. --- I stopped by for breakfast / brunch before heading onto the boardwalk then came back for a beverage and ordered lunch to take away. It wasn't very busy, with just one other patron both times. Bathandwa, the server, was super friendly and attentive and I had a baby dassie keeping me company as I ate my breakfast. The food is super fresh and tasty and prices are reasonable. Both times, my order came through so quickly... I will definitely be back.

The place is very nicely located, the food is good, the menu is a little small but since they only serve breakfast and lunch, it's ok. But a bit of paint could do, it's very long that the place saw a brush. Beachside places need maintenance, that's sure.

Serene, beautiful place with a refreshing breeze from the sea on a hot day. You chose if you want to sit inside or outside. The breakfast menu is simple. Situated by the nahoon beach boardwalk, so you can take a stroll after your meal.

The Reef Cafe has the most delicious fish and chips and cheesecake I've ever tasted. They are dog friendly and they offer a great environmental initiative by trading a free cup of coffee for a bag of litter collected from the beach.

We arrived quite late and had to rush off to the airport but the owner, very pleasantly and rather quickly, made us an amazing little platter. Great service. Excellent food. Good coffee. I will definitely be back. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ
