La Belle

Sea Point to Hout Bay


This bistro and bakery is one of the loveliest belles on Camps Bay's seafront strip, and a whole lot more relaxed and less pretentious than some of its neighbours. Choose between coffees, speciality teas, smoothies, shakes and cocktails – ranging from gin smash to whisky sours – plus some extremely tempting baked goods, cakes and other light eats.
