Reviewed 25 January 2018

this was a lucky find fot an ingeormal dinner by the beach. we ate on the upper decj and saw the sun go down as we supped our aperitifs. good wine list and inexpensive, as was the food as well. a limited menu outso=ide a full range of pizzas - but we chose the fillet steak (cooked to perfection) the outstanding seafood curry (at only 105 rand) and calamari which were as good as they could be. service a bit slow.

Dear Francis.

We are so glad to hear that you had such a great time here with us.
Bungalow offers an upper deck which is always great for watching the sun set while sipping on our delicious cocktails that are made by our lovely bar staff.

We hope to welcome you back to The Bungalow soon.

Kindest regards,
The Bungalow Team

We visited this restaurant in December and actually had a lovely experience. The food was amazing and tasty, we had a few of their tapas and pizzas. But what has happened since then I have no idea. The tapas menu is gone, the pizzas have gone from delicious and different to the basic everyday pizzas you can order from any old pizzeria or restaurant. The cocktails have also gone from fun to boring. The sushi is still divine, LUCKILY, but everything else has gone down hill! Please go back to the restaurant I enjoyed visiting!

Our kids went here for lunch and had a terrible experience. It took ages for drinks to come in fact they came after the first starter. Food was terrible and almost inedible. Portions were tiny and the 8 portion sushi had 6 pieces. The final meal came two hours after ordering. Stay away!
