Polana in Kalk Bay, Cape Town, South Africa | Restaurant

The Polana Restaurant is situated in Kalk Bay Harbour, and is owned by the same team who operate the successful Harbour House Restaurant.
The Polana is on the ground level of the HH complex and features a beautifully appointed cocktail lounge built on the rocks , only meters away from the crashing waves. Relax on luxurious leather sofas and sip a pre-dinner cocktail while soaking up seaviews of unsurpassed beauty.
In Winter a log fire roars in the lounge as huge flocks of cormorants trek across the bay. From late July whales are seen from distances from as little as fifty meters while playful seals frolic in the kelp all year round. The interior of the Restaurant is decorated in an elegant colonial style with African, Indonesian and Portuguese elements. This is reflected in the cuisine, which features dishes from Africa, and especially Angola and Mocambique. Angolan chef Claude Alfonso makes every dish a culinary coup de tat. Situated as we are, in a working, fishing harbour, the Polana has access to a wealth of the freshest possible line fish. The Restaurant is served by our own fishing boat, which sells its catch exclusively to our kitchen.
