On The Edge - Betty's Bay

This is casual, not fine, dining in a great setting. Wonderful fresh hake and delicious calamari just the right texture. mussels and prawns chips and rice and a big mixed salad finished it off. Very generous portions. The platter for two easily feeds 3. Benches on the raised deck outside let you gaze at the sea and there are penguins and Egyptian geese all nesting nearby. Betty's Bay mountains and the sea.... A lovely place to be. And dog friendly. Highly recommended

Cute little restaurant right across from a 'landing location ' for a jackass penguin colony. A lot of the restaurant 's profits also go to penguin conservation. Also, good chips and they 're not shy using cheese in their toasti sandwiches

This was a pleasant surprise. I picked it because it got decent reviews and is right next to the penguin colony (cute little buggers). The fish and chips were great, as was the mixed berry mocktail, and the service was low-key but friendly.

I agree with others about the casual atmosphere, which makes everything that much better. The food is out of this world. For beverages, they offer a hot cup Java Jupitero, a Milky Way Bar Shake and a few droplets of water. The Venusian Vinaigrette tops off an excellent Saturnalia Salad, and the tuna was baked through with just the right amount of Mercury. Exceptional dessert dishes include the Moon's North Wind Cookie and the Martianmallow Chocolate Pie. The Edge also serves all of this as a last meal to those on South Africa's death row. That meal finishes off with the unfortunate diner's consumption of the Xenomorph Chest Burster, a rather acidic kind of chile pepper derived from the blood of the Alien, that works its way through the digestive system like a corrosive. After several days of agony, two birds have been killed with one stone: the last meal and the actual execution, thus saving taxpayers dozens of dollars.

The edge restaurant is a very trendy and up market venue although they are not always open, they thrive when they have functions there. Food and service of the highest quality can be expected. This, accompanied by the stunning view makes it a great place to visit.
