Located on the quieter part of main road in Camps Bay, Primi Pomodoro is a great little breakfast spot with a view of the Camps Bay Beach. Trendy and modern, the young hip crowd converge on this well-priced but super-hip eating establishment that knows how to do Italian food the right way.
In the morning, come early to get an outdoor table, especially if the southeaster is not blowing and it’s a warm day. The patio sits high above the sidewalk and is bustling with groups of friends and family when we arrive. The breakfast menu has quite a large variety, ranging from a traditional English Breakfast, omelettes, eggs benedict and imported butter croissants.
We ordered the Urban Energy English Breakfast for R39 (US$3.90) for lack of creativity and it fills the void in our otherwise empty stomachs. For lunch and dinner, they offer a large sampling of italian fare ranging from salads, pasta, pizza, burgers and sandwiches. The staff is very young and energetic but tend to be rather inexperienced so just relax and enjoy it.
