My Foodie List
I hope this list will give you some inspiration to venture out and try some off the beaten track places to enjoy a meal or a drink. I am an adventurous eater and will try all places and anything off a menu. I try street food, take aways, cheap and cheerful places and top end venues. Everytime I get an opportunity to visit my apartment in the beautiful St Martini Gardens complex I try visit as many places as possible but also love cooking a delicious meal in the kitchen.
This is a hidden gem. I only had a drink here but the venue is so cool. The best is they allow the public to access the pool, so this as an alternative to a public beach could be fab!! Waiter on call for a cocktail too!
118 St Georges Mall. Use the lift to get to the 6th floor. 10 min walk from the apartment.

The word Bazaar should say it all. Its a wonderful assult on the senses to be in this place. The food, the people, the aromas. The choice is amazing and there is something for everyone at super affordable prices. Curries, Chinese, Indian, Arabic. The portions are huge so go hungry. A tip from a fellow patron was to order the eat in option as the portion sizes are bigger than the take aways but once your done eating ask for a take away holder and fill it up for your takeaway meal the next day.
Do not expect anything fancy here. Its a eating place for locals of all types. I love it!!

If you arrive here over lunchtime or after work be prepared to wait. The fried hake fish is fresh and delicious!!! A portion of french fries can feed 3-4 people. The fish portion is thick and big. We eat at the side walk tables to enjoy the fish as fresh as possible but takeaway is just as good. My No 1 fish and chip spot.

This is a local eating house. You queue to place your order and pay and your food is delivered with a shout of your receipt number to your table. The fried fish here is No 3 on my list! There is also such a variety of seafood that changes with the seasons. If you in a group let everyone order something different so you can all sample the menu. A must when visiting Kalk bay!
