EAST HEAD CAFÉ

BEST FOR Fresh eats in a stunning seaside setting. FOOD If you're a locavore, you'll love the way East Head highlights local produce: honey from Knysna, macadamia nuts from local orchards and excellent locally made cheese. Fish and chips fans will find East Head's feathery light version unbeatable. A good variety of salads and vegetarian fare includes hearty kale and quinoa salad, specked with orange, cranberries and blue cheese. Among the blackboard specials is usually a perfectly spiced seafood curry. End with the cake of the day. DRINKS The carefully selected list features local wines and beers. For fun, try the breakfast martini or a bloody good Mary. SERVICE The staff is consistently friendly and welcoming. AMBIENCE Picnic tables on the patio are coveted for their position next to the sea. The bright and airy interior, decorated with old photos of the area and colourful contemporary African art, is equally pleasing. Kids enjoy their own play area. (CP)
