I wasn't aware of Brad's unfortunate accident; no wonder things were somewhat erratic. Your reorganisation and future plans sound exciting. You are in a great location - I loved the view from the place previously so I'm sure it's amazing with the extras you've added. My very best to you and Mike for the future. Gail and I won't be back in South Africa in the immediate future, but I have no doubt we will there before too long. You can be sure that when we do we shall call in. Kind regards, David @Derryn
Hi Derryn,

Thanks very much for your comment and the update on ‘Brad’s’ – is it still called Brad’s Bistro?

I wasn’t aware of Brad’s unfortunate accident; no wonder things were somewhat erratic. Your reorganisation and future plans sound exciting. You are in a great location – I loved the view from the place previously so I’m sure it’s amazing with the extras you’ve added.

My very best to you and Mike for the future. Gail and I won’t be back in South Africa in the immediate future, but I have no doubt we will there before too long. You can be sure that when we do we shall call in.

Kind regards,

David

My husband Mike and I bought the bistro in April this year from Brad (the erratic opening hours were due to Brad having suffered a severe accident while travelling in Argentina)and have made a few changes over the last few months. Gone are the book shop, green grocer's and clothing store and we're focussing on what we do best - serving great food in a comfortable and relaxed environment. We've added a breakfast bar and extra windows outside to make the most of the seaview and the feedback from our customers has been tremendous. What used to be the "grocer" has been leased out to Joanne of Jap's carpets and so the entrance to our bistro is always flowing with gorgeous persian carpets, adding to the atmosphere that we're in the process of creating in the bistro itself. It's still a work in progress and we've got plans to improve the decor in the garden so that it looks less like a tea-garden and more like an extension of the interior. I hope next time you're in Kalk bay you'll look us up again and enjoy some of the changes we've made. Kind Regards Derryn Hi David

We loved our trip to Cape Town and in particular our stay in Kalk Bay - we were just across the road from your shop in the Mare Video apartments. I sat most days looking out of the apartment from where I could see your shop and the board surfers in the sea - wonderful. I thought the whole ambiance of Kalk Bay was fantastic and I loved to walk up and down the main road soaking up the atmosphere. Your shop is great and one of the great attractions of Kalk Bay. The photo on RB has proved pretty popular so I hope any Bubblers who venture in the Kalk Bay direction will drop in. Best regards, David @Jodi Meiring

Really like the worms eye view perspective too. Hope to see them featured in the 2010 calendar :) Hi David,
