What a wonderful experience dinning out at Kalky's!
We didn't just go there once - we returned at least 6 times, on a 10 day holiday.
The portion sizes are fantastic - the food quality & taste is out of this world & the service is excellent!
Just dont expect much in terms of decor and style...but if you want a true Cape Town experience...then this is definitely the place to go!!
It is clean, and the atmosphere is warm and charming. You feel right at home, the minute you walk in!
You place your food order at the counter – and once it has been prepared, a waitress brings it to your table. The service is really fast and very efficient! The food comes out on a platter, and you collect your own plates, plastic knives & forks, and serviettes from the front of the restaurant before you eat. There are paper cups for those who drink a cooldrink – and wine glasses, for a lovely selection of local wines.
We were mostly served by Gadija – who is an absolute treat!!
True Cape Town local character – in her sayings & antics…we loved her conversations and quirky humor!
I would highly recommend Kalky’s to any traveler – as it is such an awesome experience…a definite MUST stop when visiting Cape Town!!
Friendly staff great food at fantastic value. I would recommend the kalkys platter.
Great atmosphere and enjoyed the meal.
Will definately be going back for more.
This place is famous for good reason! Exceptional fish and chips! Their grilled option is gluten-free and worth the extra R15 (in 2023) and 30-minute wait. Portion sizes are generous, and the menu has great value options. The setting is rustic. The service is poor, but I guess something has to give. I will definitely go back. High chairs available. Cash only (but there is an ATM on the premises).
The atmosphere is super authentic and really cool. Loved that the most.
Food is brilliant but on par with the majority of fish and chips in the cape to be fair. Definite favourite for fish and chips and a must do if you in the area - nothing is near as authentic.
I always have a portion of snoek and hake here with chips. Their prices are good and portion sizes quite large. The flavours are good, with excellent crisp on the batter. From all the fish and chips shops that I’ve tried in the cape, these are the best chips. Fresh hand cut and consistently good. The fish while tasty is a bit too oily, a contradiction I know, as its oil fried, but still it always ends up a bit too oily when served. Really enjoyable nevertheless.
The surroundings are amazing here, a great little town and harbour to explore.
My most recent lunch here in September 23. Even a cold stormy morning didn’t stop me. Yet again they served me a really good lunch. The crayfish on special is a bargain and really tasty at the same time.
Kalky’s Platter was delicious. Just the fish and chips you want. Value for money, reasonably priced. If you are in Kalk Bay, definitely try out the spot. NB: Please note they only accept cash, no card payments. There is a ATM inside that you can withdraw from.
The fish is so fresh and onion rings on another level. This is where you can get true sea food.nice and fresh. I did not like the octopus in the oil. But that’s me.
This place is a must when in Kalk Bay. I can't imagine not going to enjoy the fresh fish and chips they have to offer. It is a typical old school fisheries that serves freshly fried fish, great service, and operates with cash only. I love just sitting there and enjoying the view and food and chilled vibes.
Iconic
If you are a tourist you have to visit this harbor Cafe .... yummiest by far
As a local, we frequently come here and have never been disappointed .
Made a stop here after reading lots of raving reviews from other patrons. Service was prompt and no-frills. We ordered snoek & chips & calamari as well as piri piri shrimps. The batter was soggy after a short while, which is why the - 0.5 star. Fish and calamari were really fresh though. Some shrimps (especially the heads) on the other hand don't taste as fresh. Piri piri sauce also wasn't as spicy as we would like it to be. Still a good spot for fish and chips though. Careful of the bird poos if you're sitting outside!
This was a great place to grab some fish and chips!! Super casual which we love. We sat outside under the shade and had a great view of the town, boats, and water. Got our food quickly and it was very reasonablely priced!
Cash only but they have an ATM
Lovely portions, beautiful views and delicious food! Highly recommend.
