Comments:
Deli Delish is a restaurant/deli located close to the beach in Hout Bay.

Their menu is varied and includes everything from french toast to deli platters, pastas, etc.

This was our first visit to Deli Delish. We sat down at a table in the enclosed balcony section. We had to wait a significant amount of time before we were given a menu. We ordered cappuccinos which took more than 10 minutes to arrive. Our waitress then took our food order.

We ordered the french toast (without bacon) and a croissant which came with jam and cheese.

The cappuccinos were pleasant, but nothing to write home about.

The croissant came first. It arrived with no butter. The jam was served in a large jam bottle and did not come with a teaspoon/spoon. Using a sharp knife in the jam bottle turned into a messy experience.

The french toast arrived a while later. I noticed I had received bacon even though I had ordered the one without bacon. Admittedly, both the french toast and croissant was tasty.

The waitress seemed distracted and we found the service to be rather disappointing.

Prices are on the expensive side but it does have a nice fresh and relaxing atmosphere.

Verdict:
Will we return? Yes
Would we recommend? Yes

Breakfast took 20 minutes to arrive.

French Toast:  Drenched with syrup. I would have preferred it on the side, as it had been the last time.  Arrived cold.  Possibly was forgotten at kitchen pass?

Poached egg on toast:  Egg and toast cold.  Egg rubbery.

Cappuccino:  Incredibly strong. We had to ask for a jug of milk to dilute it to a drinkable state.

Verdict:
Will we return? Yes
Would we recommend? Undecided

300g rump steak:  Ordered medium.  We stressed we wanted our steak to be tender.  It arrived after 20 minutes but was medium well done, undersized, badly charred (bottom right photo), tough and dry.  Bitterly disappointed.  We did not bother to taste our sides.

Service was also disappointing (as it usually is).  Waiter had to check with us 3 times which sides we wanted with our dish.  Suggest writing orders down.

We decided not to have the order redone, instead went to Pirates, Hout Bay for a decent steak.
