C-Bali is a family restaurant on the beachfront in Margate, where you can eat seafood and sushi while looking out over the ocean. The kitchen serves line fish, calamari, and handmade gourmet burgers flame-grilled to order. An award-winning sushi chef prepares the specialty sushi, which draws regulars back to the counter.

The craft gin bar stocks the largest selection of craft spirits on the KZN South Coast, served on a deck that faces the water. Cocktails and craft beers are poured alongside the food, with the waves breaking just beyond the windows. The menu is broad enough to cover families and groups with different tastes.

Tables fill through the day — breakfast, lunch and dinner — with the view drawing guests back for more than one meal. The restaurant is on Bay Road in St Michael's on Sea, close enough to the water that the sound of the surf carries inside.
