Reasons to love Pennington's Beach Café @ Impithi
Category Area Focus
Pennington is renowned for its laid-back vibes, friendly way of life and gorgeous beach. In the opinion of many, there is no better place to experience all three than at The Beach Café @ Impithi. With its lovely surroundings, beautiful views and the fact that it's pet-friendly, there can be few better places to kickstart your day with a great breakfast or enjoy a lazy meal later in the day. As big fans of all that the Pennington area and the rest of the South Coast have to offer, Seeff takes a closer look.
The ambience and vibes
Imagine feeling the gentle sea breeze as you enjoy the sight of the crashing waves and - if you're lucky and you go at the right time of year - the odd dolphins or whales splashing around in the surf and enjoying themselves. The Beach Café is all about relaxed vibes, a peaceful way of life and quality time spent with friends and loved ones.
The mouthwatering menu
Being a beachside restaurant, it's fitting that The Beach Café @ Impithi has seafood on the menu, and the fish and chips, famous home-made fishcakes and crispy-fried calamari will not disappoint. Those looking for something cool and fresh can enjoy a Greek salad or the salad of the day. Highlights of the menu include a Cheesy Caramelised Onion Melt, which is pure melt-in-your-mouth goodness and an array of beach bum burgers.
If you're starting your day at the Beach Café, you have loads of options to choose from, including the Morning Wrap, which is crammed full of scrambled eggs, crispy bacon bits, cheeses and spring onion. A firm favourite is the freshly baked sweetcorn bread that forms part of the Sunrise Breakfast, topped with scrambled eggs, guacamole or mushrooms and the café's homemade tomato chutney.
Vegans' and vegetarians' needs are catered for with the Very Vegan Burger and the Vegan Stack breakfast.
Over and above the a la carte menu, a delicious three-course Sunday lunch is on offer. Come and enjoy a scrumptious Sunday menu that changes from week to week and features the likes of Moroccan spiced lamb, sourdough bread with biltong pate and crackly roast pork.
Whatever the weather happens to be doing, you'll find the perfect beverage on the menu. From lattes and hot chocolates to sparkling spritzers in fresh summer flavours like passionfruit fizz and blueberry bubbles, there's something to suit every mood, taste bud and temperature.
