Located in a secluded cove from the main road on Granger Bay, an artificially created beach with reclaimed sea sand and an abandoned warehouse pair up to offer you one of Cape Town’s most popular beach-dining experiences. Wildly popular in summer for sundowners, boozy weekend lunches, birthday parties and as a wedding venue. The crowd is mixed – from those just out of college to families with small children. The pizzas and cocktails are perennially popular, and the views over Granger Bay are simply beautiful. Here you have the opportunity to dip your toes into the sand, sit under an umbrella and dream your cares away.

A tiny raised window in the old building lets the evening light stream into the small charcoal attic space. Brown leather banquettes and a row of chairs along the lowered bar seat just 24 guests. Giant wallpaper versions of John and Jackie Kennedy festooned with tattoos, by artist Indian Giver, preside over the space, and give it a stylish and subversive feeling.
