If youre visiting the Garden Route and looking for an unique outdoor eating experience,Kaai 4 is a must visit to schedule during your stay! As locals, blessed to live in the Garden Route, our family loves to spend our weekends outdoors. At Kaai 4 youll find that the atmosphere transports you to a sunny island with your feet in the sand, boats sailing on glittering waters in the background while you enjoy your favourite braaivleis fresh off the grid!This is as close to braaing on the beach as you can get.We also find their prices to be very affordable.This is an ideal outing for locals and tourists alike!
We came here on a Sunday afternoon when it much much more relaxed than usual. We were so surprised at the friendly staff as well as the delicious food!If youre in Mossel Bay and feel like braaied meat...this is the place to go.The portions are generous, the flavour is great and the view of the bay is stunning.They also offer a local beer on tap for the beer enthusiasts.
Great food, relaxing to sit with your feet on sea sand and just look at the world around you. Rooster koek, what a nice experience every time.
Very laid-back and why not. Sand floor beautifully situated on the sea.Very pleasant and friendly people.. This is a place where you can just relax.Very interesting menu
I enjoyed the unique experience and atmosphere. I returned after leaving the day before because of frustration with poor parking facilities and being harassed by beggars. I ordered the lamb braai pack which was delicious. Value for money is good. For someone coming for the first time you need to order and pay at the kiosk at the entrance.
Nice atmosphere. Friendly and holiday vibe.
Nice friendly service!! Good food
Dont you just love good old comfort food? Well, here you get so much more. You get to sit with your feet in the sand and look out onto the stunning ocean glimmering from the sunshine. Yummy and fresh food. Great place to visit with friends or family.
A must for anyone visiting Mosselbay! Great atmosphere. The owner/barman is so funny. Had a great time. Food menu was unexpected at first sight, but ended up so good.
Good location and nice atmosphere with sand covered floors.menu good but service a bit slow. Coffee excellent.
This was a great lunch experience. Awesome views of our beautiful coastline in Mosselbay. Our host really was on the ball in all regards and you could see this is his passion. Great food. I had the meat basket with ribs, chicken sosatie, and boerewors (great value for money). My wife had the lamb pot and the meat was cooked to perfection. Thanks for our great experience, we will be visiting soon again.
Best value for money in MB. Owner is very friendly and accomodating. Would highly recomend this place to any of my friends and family. If you havent already been, you missing out.😊
Fish too fresh ! with a great view.......could not get coffee though
Great management. If you are looking for a chill place to relax with a great view and decent food this is it. To top it all you dont need to dress up
Absolutely love this place! Kaai 4 is one of the places you just HAVE to visit when coming to Mossel Bay.
An amazing experience. Great value for money meals and superb service and coffee. Awesome seaside setup with a spectacular view. Very unique and enjoyable
The atmosphere is very good. The food was so different and well-made. Thanks for a lovely experience
We enjoyed the rooster koek. The owner fed the fish to entertain the children from surrounding tables and it added to the lovely comfortable atmosphere.
Fabulous views, perfect service perfect roosterkoek. Alround awesome kaptein ;)
Loved it!! Incredibly friendly people, stunning setting and yummy food.
Wow what can I say. The chicken curry with samp rooster bread and salad. Bomb fire and the sea. What more can you ask for. There is much more. Go and see.
Awesome place with awesome service. It was more than lunch... it was an experience!
What a place! really next to the sea! we thought we were in Hawaii. so different from a typical south african restaurant. Laid back and pretty run down but then it is totally charming in its own character. Read so much about it and so glad to find it at last.food at large portion and very reasonable price. very local in taste. we loved the braised lamb shank and also the biltong burger. Fantastic service also. the whole place has the atmosphere of a truck shack.
Great hospitality, best roosterkoek. And magnificent view reflecting another masterpiece out of Gods hand
Best food on a fire we had in years. Relaxed vibe with a very warm welcome. On the beach. Doesnt get better than this.
This feels like a tropical island break in the harbour of a city. The host is the most colourful character full of friendly welcomes, jokes and stories. Expect great food on the braai, traditional dishes and cold beers. Views of the beach, marine life and harbour comings and goings. A very festive spot.
Really great roosterkoek and generous portions. The owner is such a legend, and makes the whole place feel so relaxed. Wonderful views, wonderful food, wonderful atmosphere. A MUST see if you are in the area!
Overall, excellent!! Great food. Great atmosphere. Great location. Roosterbrood is fresh and some of the best weve ever had. Halfway through dinner the owner walked around and told jokes and stories - very well received by the guests. (So good we went back the next day)
Best value for money with a great view
Great place .... 😋 food ...
Located right next to the harbour, next to the ocean. This is a very casual place. Hands down my favourite place on earth. The service was friendly and helpful with a manager going round and checking that is well. The food was delicious, weve tried a few things on the menu, and we were not disappointed once. The setting is beachy and the view is amazing. Food is cooked on an open fire so everyone can enjoy the fire or see the cooks in action. The roosterkoek is the best Ive ever had and the are very reasonably priced. They will be seeing a lot more of me.
Great vibe, food and views. Rustic open air beach restaurant - expect sand between your toes and fresh food prepared on an open fire. Great spot to visit when in Mossel Bay. There is a small kids play area in the form of a boat in the shade.
Love the vibe, owner very friendly and chatty, ordered mussel pot not to my liking as I dont enjoy a thick such a thick sauce. Beautiful beachy restaurant..
Gorgeous views, great food and even better service! The staff is always in a great mood and their friendliness wont ever fail to put a smile on your face. The atmosphere is also very nice. Highly recommended!
This is an awesome place. The view is great. The owner is a very special man and the food is fantastic
Amazing time! When we got there the owner asked where we were from, then he came around the counter and explained the whole menu! He made a few jokes and was super friendly and nice. The food was very delicious and didn’t take too long to make! For all the things we got, it was very cheap. The location of the restaurant was just perfect! Overall one of the best restaurants I’ve been to!
Great experience, with live music
My favorite experience of South African food was Kaai 4 Braai. Located in Mossel Bay, near to the Santos Express Train Lodge, it was an unexpected find for us. It wasnt an easy find, though, because we chose to walk we wound up going through several industrial parking lots, through gated vulcan fences, several dead-ends, until we found Kaai 4 Brai. We had no idea what to expect; all we knew was the place had many recommendations and was celebrated for authentic cuisine.The restaurant is spectacular! Its an outdoor dirt-floor space with open walls and many lamps, picnic benches, a bar building, and a big circular cooking pit. In the setting sun, the space and the incandescent light was magical.We got there early in the cooking time, so we were lucky enough to see the first wood being placed into the pit and the fires lit. It meant wed have to wait a while, but the staff and visitors made that time go quickly; more about that in a bit.The Kaai 4 menu is wide, from hot dogs and hamburgers to kebabs and spare ribs and things Ive never heard of, like Roosterkoek and potbread, though I did figure out what musselpot and braaied hake was.The staff was amazingly patient with us, explaining all the foods and their significance, as well as the history of the restaurant. Because we were early, and we love hanging around kitchen prep, we got to chat for a long time. Once the fires were hot we got recommendations based on what had ingredients had been delivered. Then we headed over to the pit to watch the cooking.I got the meat basket and roosterkoek, bread dough balls cooked on the grill. Carmella chose the braaid hake -- what I call en papillote -- with a wee salad.The food was so primal, so earthy, so delicious! Now I understand why South African expats fondly speak of braai! Equally wonderful was the conversation we had with the staff and the visitors, some of whom were locals, others were Free Staters; everyones accents were delightful to hear, and so completely different from each other! South Africans are a self-reliant lot, which comes out in their stories and world-views.We finished up our evening at Kaai 4 Braai stuffed, so much so that we chose to forgo some off-menu dessert. Kaai is high on my list of places to which I wish I could teleport for an evening, its that good.
Great food, great atmosphere
Amazing food, great atmosphere. Very nice end to a day or lunch.
Something different compared to a normal restaurant very basic menu.Situated in a position,with good view of Mossel Bay
Friendly staff and excellent service! Best roosterkoek in Mosselbaai and surrounds. Great vibe!!
Best restaurant Ive been in South Africa ! The manager and the food are awesome ! Go for it without thinking
What a treat. The easiest of eating places, you can actually hear each other & the sea. The food is what is described & more.
The place and the owner/ staff is better then the food. Still a great experience. Go and stay for a long long time
Excellent. Normally have a beer there when done fishing deep sea. Feet in the sandLovely lovely lovely. Menu looks great!!!
Lekker local food experience in Mosselbay - roosterkoek and braaivleis. Doug your toes into the sand and enjoy the beautiful view and the authentic shabby beach bar atmosphere. Nothing fancy just friendly service, good roosterkoek and braaivleis. Normally n bit windy but worth the effort. We never miss an opportunity when we are down there to visit and enjoy the hospitality.
Love the atmosphere, and nothing beats a braaibroodtjie and a bergie. Down to earth, relaxed and restful.
This is a wonderful place for friends and family , it has n good menu and you can watch the boats from a bay view
Very cool place and authentic ! Totally recommend! The owner is a very cool guy that walks around the restaurant telling jokes and stories ! The food is great as well. If you like simple places with good food that is the place
Cool place to chill and roosterkoek combos 100% worth trying. A must visit place in Mosselbaai..
Great service, awesome vibe and atmosphere. Owner really makes patrons feel at home! Will go back anytime!
Great dining, outdoors seating with the best views. Rustic and charming. Also priced well. Food is great with good options.
Awesome service, great spot & you need to try the mosselpot. Keep an eye out for seekatte
Not to many dishes to choose, but very good food, better bread at chip price
Delicious roosterkoeke with a wide range of toppings, the biltong and cheese or burger are the best if you are really hungry or want something lekker! Great view, basically on the water.
I love this place.Make a point to go there everytime Im in the area.If you want fast food go somewhere else if you want to enjoy the ocean and food on an open fire then this place is for you
Nice place, Great South African food served with roosterkoek from a open fire, loved it !!
Great food in an informal setting. The roosterkoek is an absolute must. Had the spare ribs for breakfast... what a good choice! If you are looking for a relaxed atmosphere right on the sea then you need look no further. A winner all the way!
Boiled Food , terrible service and broken tables !
Awesome food and location.
