The Brass Bell

Nestled along Kalk Bay’s Main Road and perched right on the tidal pool's edge, The Brass Bell began as a council-run tea room in 1939 and has since blossomed into a multi-venue dining destination beloved by locals and visitors alike. Each dining area—from The Pavilion’s panoramic glass walls to Water’s Edge deck right on the sea wall—offers a unique oceanfront experience, complete with the sound of waves and coastal energy. The Theatre Restaurant & Captain’s Deck adds refined elegance in the heart of the original building, perfect for dramatic dinners or special events. Other distinct venues include The Cabin Restaurant—a cozy, pub-style spot—The Cabin Bar, friendly and familiar, Il Porto, almost afloat above the waves and pet-friendly, as well as Seaweed & Salt with its modern coastal menu and casual vibe. Chef Sheila leads the kitchen with honest, well-sourced dishes crafted for sharing and conversation. Expect seafood, pizzas, pub classics, and daily specials in a setting that welcomes rain, heat, or cool sea breeze. The Brass Bell is also a cultural anchor—hosting live music at Seaweed & Salt, open mic moments, and memorable jazz nights to round out the experience.
