Good to know

Before you visit

Do I need to book?

We recommend it, especially for sunset tables and weekends. Book online through Dineplan. We can only hold a table for 15 minutes after the booking time.

How big a group can you seat?

We’d love to have you, but we can’t accommodate parties larger than 6 people.

Is the patio covered?

The beachfront patio is weather dependent and has no solid roof, so it isn’t protected from rain. From about 16:00 until sunset the sun can’t be blocked out, so bring sunglasses and a hat. The sunsets are worth it.

Are pets allowed?

We love our pets, but unfortunately the restaurant is not pet friendly.

Do you have high chairs?

We don’t have baby chairs, sorry.

Is there parking?

Yes, there is free on-site parking.

Can I smoke?

No. Café Orca is a non-smoking restaurant.

When are last orders?

Last orders are taken 45 minutes before closing time.
