The Kitchen

Willoughby & Co

This is one of my favourite spots. If you want to get out of town and enjoy the scenery of the Cape all along the coastline - this is a day trip worth taking. Kalk bay is lined with quirky little shops and best of all a bakery/restaurant. They offer some of the most delicious meals and the entire setting is just right.
