Welcome to Café Orca

A beach cottage with arguably the best view in Melkbos.

Join us on the beachfront patio or inside the cottage. For more than twenty-five years we’ve been refining one thing: seafood that tastes of where it came from, with a view you’ll struggle to look away from.

Signature plates

From starters of local mussels and baby squid to the famous platter for two. We are, after all, the seafood specialists.

At some seafood restaurants it doesn’t really matter what kind of fish you order, it all tastes the same – here all the fish tastes delightfully different.
