You eat at Chardonnay Deli on Kalk Bay's Main Road, close enough to the water that the harbour is part of the view. The kitchen serves breakfast through lunch — eggs, sandwiches, seafood bowls — and the deli stocks local cheeses, olives and pantry items to take home. The counter displays cakes baked on site.

The menu runs from morning eggs to midday seafood. Breakfast includes omelettes, smoked salmon plates and sweetcorn fritters; lunch brings Cape Malay curry, line fish and burgers. The deli case holds cured meats and cheeses for assembling picnic boards. Bread comes from their own bakery.

Tables fill with families at midday and couples later in the afternoon. The building stands on the main road through Kalk Bay, a short walk from the harbour and tidal pool.
