A great place to sit and watch the World go by - literally 5 minutes walk from Ocean Bay Hotel and Sunbeach Hotel at Cape Point! Now serving great food too - look to pay around £3 for very good fried chicken and chips/rice. A selection of Arfican dishes are also on the menu for similar prices..! Be sure to... More

Had eaten here a few times before during previous visits to Cape Point but ended up wishing we hadn't this time. I had one of the local dished and my partner had a sandwich but we both felt under the weather later on that day. The food is very cheap but I won't be eating here again

This place has been transformed in recent years from a bar with two seats and a fridge to a great little restaurant bar that can probably take 30-40 covers. We visited 3 times in November 10 and took a friend along with us as the food was so nice. I have never eaten a dish as nice as the fish... More

I have been visiting One For the Road for many years and was delighted to see what Sanjo has done with the Bar - We had very nice food in Nov 09 and I am sure he will build up a good clientele who will go back time and time again Good Luck MAMACOOL
