And did we mention the view? It\u2019s remarkable really, to think that this prime piece of real estate was once a flat, hidden away from the public eye. Now, thanks to some great foresight by the restaurant owners, this incredible space\u2019s true potential is being realised! And how lucky for us!<br \/>\nAlthough it has become a popular breakfast and smoothie hotspot amongst beach walkers and early morning runners, Kuta-Kola was actually originally destined to be a \u2018gin bar\u2019, according to co-owners Claudia and Ryan Blom.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13452\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/Food_InArticle.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1356\" height=\"709\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/Food_InArticle.jpg 1356w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/Food_InArticle-400x209.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/Food_InArticle-1024x535.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/Food_InArticle-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/Food_InArticle-696x364.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/Food_InArticle-1068x558.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/Food_InArticle-803x420.jpg 803w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1356px) 100vw, 1356px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Lockdown restrictions changed things though, and so they decided to open for breakfasts and lunches instead. \u201cThere aren\u2019t many beachfront breakfast options and we wanted to offer something a little different. Ballito has a healthy, outdoor, active community and we wanted to tap into this,\u201d says Claudia. As owners of restaurants in Johannesburg, the couple have a lot of experience in the food and beverage industry. They, together with their friends and partners at the time, Friso and Karien van der Wal, set about opening Kuta-Kola.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u201cRyan has a lot of experience in the kitchen and wanted the menu to be different &#8230; instead of just the traditional \u2018bacon and eggs\u2019 breakfasts.\u201d<\/strong><\/em> He and health and fitness trainer Karien came up with an exciting menu with both decadent and healthier options.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13103\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13103\" style=\"width: 1815px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13103 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/CAL-6094.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1815\" height=\"1208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/CAL-6094.jpg 1815w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/CAL-6094-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/CAL-6094-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/CAL-6094-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/CAL-6094-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/CAL-6094-696x463.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/CAL-6094-1068x711.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/CAL-6094-631x420.jpg 631w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1815px) 100vw, 1815px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13103\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Mezze Platter is best enjoyed with a cold glass of white wine while overlooking the ocean!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Zimbali Kola (eggs, salmon and avo rosetta, blistered cherry tomatoes and mushrooms with a spinach and cabbage fritter) is a popular option and the flapjacks with bacon, berries, strawberries, melon and bourbon whiskey syrup is absolutely divine!
