Where to eat Mediterranean food in Salt Rock: The Best Restaurants and Bars

January 14, 2020 Vivienne Hutton

Find out what Mediterranean restaurants to try in Salt Rock. Salt Rock is a small town just north of Ballito and Shaka's Rock on the Dolphin Coast of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. It is a favorite holiday destination for many local South Africans. It is about 40 minutes north of Durban. There are plenty of fishing spots along the coast from Salt Rock, through Shaka's Rock to Ballito and Salmon Bay. Salt Rock owes much of its history to Basil Hulett and his wife Gwen who started not only the Salt Rock Hotel but went on to develop the town of Salt Rock as found today. Nightlife in the small town is limited with a handful of pubs and restaurants offering a variety of food and drinks. A new development, Sheffield Manor, is situated in Salt Rock as well as the newly built Tiffany's Shopping Mall.

Beautiful setting, delicious food and a wonderful atmosphere... The perfect setting for the Dolphin Coast! Having really enjoyed the mexican restaurant we were pleasantly surprised to find that the revamp has only made it even better! With stunning white and wooden furnishes, sea views and the sound of waves so close, it's easy to feel like you're a million miles from home in a beach paradise. Thanks to Zama for the excellent service and to Starina for accommodating my girlfriend and her mom's gluten and sugar allergies.

Enjoy an authentic Greek experience. Even the waiter taught us a few Greek words. The lamb shanks are exceptional, as is the brownie. This is a relaxed restaurant with sea views and good service.Dear Lookingforfun222,Thank you for your excellent review of NIKOS Ballito Bay.

We have always been meaning to go to Beira Alta, but never went....finding good Portuguese food mostly is pretty disappointing.We had a warm welcome, with attentive staff, in a restaurant with a nice family vibe. The Menu was tempting and it seems they run regular specials. We wanted authentic Portuguese chicken, and were not disappointed. The sides were fresh and homemade with marinades that had you wiping the plates with the freshly baked bread.We definately will go and try some more items, and actually look forward to experiencing some more Beira Alta hospitality.
