Very friendly staff greeted us as we arrived but quite slow service. I felt it was extremely expensive for what we got the eggs benedict with hollinaise and salmon was tiny and the croissant with scrambled egg and bacon (described as a a hearty meal) was just as small, the croissant (looked like the woolies/checkers home heat ones) was dried out and crispy due to overheating DEFINITELY did not look or taste fresh bakery made , although the manager did take our commnets and go check with the kitchen and said they used the wrong baking tray? Over all, 4 cappuchino and 2 small breakfast portions around R430 with tip. Some interesting items on main menu but very pricey cheapest wines looked like R340 , half Portuguese chicken R260(wow!!) but some more reasonable vegetarian option- We may give them another try but can't say in a hurry at the price points ,Just too many other options in vicinity. Ps a really quaint location, setting and decor, so give it a try and...

This is an exquisite venue in Kalk Bay. We had lunch here on 24 August 2025. We were a table of 3 and the consensus at the table was extremely positive. The restaurant has been open for three months and the cuisine is a mix of Italian and Portuguese, a reflection of the proprietor, Taibi's, Portuguese/Italian heritage. The food is excellent. We shared the Pomodoro Risotto as a starter. Superb dish. My wife a the Crab meat Pasta, and our guest had the pepper fillet with a delicious potato bake. Both were very happy with their choices. I had the Black Risotto with Prawns. The prawns were divine, but the Risotto tasted a little like the stock had over reduced. It was still a very tasty dish. The service is excellent and waiter Eddy and Manager, Papy were very attentive. Taibi is a gracious host who made a point of getting to know his patrons. This restaurant is well worth a visit and I see it becoming a popular eating spot in Kalk Bay. We will...
