When these floundering moments hit I tend to head towards Knead on Muizenberg Beach. Eating at Knead always makes me feel like I've done more than just pig out on tasty morsels. Eating there makes me feel less lazy than normal. Perhaps it's because I soak up the energy of the surfers. Who knows.
Knead is ideally located on the shores of the once-seedy-but-now-cool Muizenberg Beach, the amateur surfer's beach of choice in Cape Town. Knead is really popular on weekends so you'll need to get there early - at about 9:30. Any later and it'll be jam-packed with screaming kids and other humans you don't fancy being around at breakfast. When Knead does become packed to the rafters, you could always utilize their take-away bakery section and snack away on the beach.
Knead makes an excellent mocha and the all day breakfast pizza is worth a try (think it's about R58). They also offer light lunches, a traditional South African "bunny chow" and the standard breakfasts such as croissants, fry ups and muesli options. On the whole, the food is good. Simple, holistic and fresh home grown chow.
Since Knead opened its doors, the beachfront area of Muizenberg seems to have cleaned up quite nicely. There seems to be an influx of folk from more affluent coastal suburbs arriving on the shores in droves. Actually, I should say "arriving on the shores in Pajero's and Porsche's". It's great to see Muizenberg beachfront becoming a hotspot!
To the rear of Knead restaurant is the Roxy surf school which sells a plethora of surfing gear and offers surfing lessons for novices. This tends to attract a great set of both tourists and locals. You're bound to meet some interesting people at Knead.
Knead is chilled, laid back and VERY Capetonian. It is what it is.See you there!
