Olympia Café

$$$ Fodor's Choice

This Kalk Bay institution with its mismatched tables and open kitchen is so much more than a bakery that happens to do a roaring breakfast and lunchtime trade. Check out the blackboard for listings of full-scale meals, including a regularly changing roster of delectable and sophisticated seafood dishes, steaks, pork belly, pasta, and soups, all made with the same flair as those scrumptious breakfasts that have been luring hungry mouths since 1997 when this place went from being a greasy fish-and-bait shop to a deli-style café serving a decent cup of coffee.

Salt

$$

Located on the main drag next to the legendary Olympia Café, Salt offers an always-evolving, creative menu that features well-cooked classics-with-a-twist such as grilled sirloin with Chilean pebre salsa or ginger-and-soy pork belly. Check the chalkboard menu for the specials. There's also burgers, pan-fried linefish, a selection of small plates, a handful of excellent desserts, and a decent wine selection.
