La Med - Clifton Beach

There's nothing better than a walk out on a clear Saturday morning. My husband and I spend the morning walking along Seapoint. It started with a very pleasant walk looking around various shops. Seapoint does attract many local and international visitors because of the variety of shops. To my knowledge, there are 3 Korean restaurants, 2 Asian markets, 2 Chinese Restaurants, Checkers, Woolworths, Pick n Pay, @Home, Mr Price and the list goes on (all in one area!). We thought that instead of going to malls, next year we will walk around Seapoint to get Christmas gifts! We then continued to walk up Bantry Bay towards Seapoint. Not knowing that we walked almost 5 km and were dead tired and sweaty by time we reached La Med or also known as The Bungalow for lunch.


You can imagine the very first thing you would want after a ling and sweaty walk is a nice cool drink. We were seated, and ordered ourselves a Mojito. For lunch, we ordered Grilled Calamari starter and Fish and chips. They also served sushi, but I thought ordering fresh seafood dishes would be appropriate.

The best Grilled Calamari I ever had

I was not disappointed with the Calamari starter. It was probably the best I ever had! Fresh calamari in  herbs, spice, sourish (lemon) marinade. Definitely would go there and have it again. :) The fish and chips was also not a let down. It was crispy on the outside, and no fishy taste at all. THAT is the definition of FRESH. Seafood is not supposed to taste fishy. The fish just melted in the mouth. The chips were good accompaniments, fried to crisp.

Fish and Chips

Overall, had a pleasant experience. The view from the restaurant was stunning, overlooking Clifton Beach. Good service from the staff, except our mojitos arrived a bit late. Not the best mojitos I've had. It wasn't sweet and sour as expected, more to diluted taste. Quite a disappointment for a R40 mojitos!

About 50m from the restaurant

P/S : There was a mini pool for you to sit at while having a drink, which I thought was a brilliant idea!

Overall impression:
Food : 5/5
Drinks : 3/5
Ambience : 4.5/5
Service: 4/5
