Bistro
Pear Tree Bistro is a trendy and creative eatery located in the bustling oceanside Piazza of Hermanus. The bistro got its name from owner Petri Hendriksz's nickname, "Pear Tree," given to him by his UK colleagues. The menu features a variety of locally-sourced bistro fare, including small plates, tacos, poke bowls, corn nachos, miso sirloin, and pork belly ribs.
We went there for dinner and everything was top-notch. Lots of Vegan and Vegetarian options are available. Since we are vegetarian, we ordered Burger and Buddha Bowl. The staff and chef were helpful and accommodating as I had to get many changes done due to my health issues on that day.

We've walked past Pear Tree many times but this time, we chose to give it a try. The food was refreshingly healthy. Our waiter, Matthew, was so welcoming and even gently chased a bee from our table 🐝 - clearly the bee appreciates nice food. Do yourself a favour and try their delicious truffle fries! Cauliflower Steak & Red Thai Curry would have been nicer but the curry sauce was watery, not creamy (coconut cream would have helped to thicken the sauce). The vegetables had not been drained of excess water before being mixed with the curry sauce - as a result of watered down sauce, it lost a lot of the curry's supposedly bold flavours. The cauliflower steak itself was small. However, the staff and the atmosphere really created something special here and we will definitely be back to try more items from their menu.

Amazing food with kind service on a beautiful location! The food was all amazing, we got the calamari sushi, bang bang cauliflower, chicken nachos and truffle fries. Cocktails are great too. Our waiter Michele was very kind. They also have a high chair for the baby and a nice children's menu, our baby loved the rainbow bowl with falafel! Recommended!

A lovely, cosy little bistro across the cliff path on Hermanus Bay. Great vegetarian and vegan options. My whole family relished the meal. We had gone to this restaurant 2 years ago and chose to go again with a wonderful experience both times round.

I ordered the salmon poke and was disappointed with the taste. The sushi rice also didn’t seem to have rice vinegar/sugar mix. There was no ginger and the salmon portion was very small The ginger shot had some lumps in it which didn’t make it great. The kombucha dagga ginger was nice. They give you blankets to sit outside when it’s cold which was great My partner’s food: hake tacos, Korean chicken wings and lamb, mushroom pappardelle were all much better although the pasta was too salty

Absolutely amazing! We started off with the Springbok Carpaccio, which I could not recommend enough. We then had the lamb ribs and seafood pasta. The lamb might just be the best lamb I’ve ever had in a restaurant. The lamb is juicy and just falls apart in your hands.

We ordered seafood platter for 2, it arrived super quickly, our food sat for a few minutes whilst our waiter fetched us our plates. We did ask for the extra line fish, it was presented well. We loved the grilled calamari tubes, hake and line fish, everything else wasn’t hot which was a real shame.

Father's day lunch. Lovely setting, close to the ocean. Ordered different meals of which the best was the hake/calamari combo. The oxtail was ok as was the meat balls and mash, the two specials for the day. We were unfortunate to be seated close to an extremely loud patron that basically prevented out table from conversing but I suppose that's the luck of the draw.

Great service, great food, beautiful view! We went for breakfast at Burgundy and enjoyed it so much that we returned for dinner. We had the Eggs Benedict (which was fantastic) whilst sitting outside with a beautiful view of the ocean. For dinner we had the Patagonian calamari and seafood pasta (both dishes were also great) and sat inside in a quiet and cosy setting at the back. What stood out for me especially was the kindness, care and hospitality that the waiters have. Apart from our own waiter, I observed the same in the rest of the team as well and was very impressed. Will definitely want to return!

Great location overlooking the sea lovely view views and great for both nature watching and people watching!. I was only drinking but some of the reviews have put me off eating food there, plus although the service was friendly, it was incredibly slow. Asked twice for the bill, wasn’t forthcoming, one person serving, three other guys standing round talking. The guy who was serving me at ask someone else to get my check several times as they were too busy engaging with each other. Despite the fabulous location, the level of hygiene witnessed outside was poor, food debris on the floor not cleared up, sugar sachets on the floor, serviettes on the floor, straw paper on the floor, not cleared up, with waiters walking past and not clearing. Tables cleared despite now and sitting there. A shame as this could be an amazing venue with the right attention and care from the staff. See pictures on the food debris on the floor. I mentioned that Service was poor and slow when I paid and was surprised that a tip was still expected. No response to my comment.

Another one of my favorite restaurants. This place, however..... OMG... The Best of the best. The food is made with so much love, the view is amazing and the staff are so friendly.

Food quality was tasty amd good. Name is Italian for the pan, however the focus is seafood dishes. One italian dish in vegetetian section shocked me. The chicken dishes were tasty. Alex was the waiter....mmm i asked his name so i could use it to call him of need be....he asked for ours which i thought was unecessary and cocky. He had a thorough knowledge of specials which was great, but i think it tool 5 minutes to get through....way long. I beleive your table settings like salt and pepper should match your pricing which os on the high end of restaurants we visited in Hermanus. Please look at your wine glasses they are huge not elegany or appropriate for red wine never mind white. Go to Hasher wine farm and buy those wine glasses elegant and approptiate for wine exceeding R500 a bottle. Would love to have seen Tiramisu on tge dessert menu.

It’s a relatively low-key restaurant that does not overtly attract too much attention. It’s small and cozy with an amazing view of the bay. The food is intricately designed. It was an interesting menu with a unique combination of flavours. Foodies would love it. Overall the vibe is quite chilled and relaxing. It’s all about the food and company. They have an excellent wine selection. A great place to bond with good friends over spectacular views, food and wine.

Guilty to have gone here twice in the last month coincidentally. So good. Every time. Crocodile carpaccio so unexpectedly delicious. Springbok carpaccio absolutely delicious. Escargot good, however the duck phyllo pastry was next level, so flavourful with such tender meat. I’ve had the prawns there more than once and you can’t go wrong. They’re the perfect portion served on a bed of rice. Fillet delicious and cooked perfectly. Ended off with a Lindt salted caramel chocolate fondant which I would go back for alone. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Hermanus! It’s a great date night spot or a family friendly restaurant.

WoW ... an amazing evening spent for my birthday. We were welcomed with a glass of Champagne, organised by my husband. Beautiful views and the restaurant is stunning inside. We both ordered the 200g Fillet with veggies etc. Our meat was cooked to perfection, seriously I don't say this often. It was absolutely devine. Our waitress Gabriella was so caring, professional and competent. Saw to all our needs. Thank you so much Gabriella for taking care and adding to a very special evening for us. I highly recommend this restaurant, it's outstanding.

We booked on the recommendation of our guest house host as we only had one night in Hermanus. We rang late in the afternoon for a table for 6 later that same day. It was no trouble and they fitted us in without issue. When we arrived we'd be allocated a lovely corner table right next to the windows overlooking the bay. Spin was our waiter, taking us through the specials board as well as bringing our drinks and ensuring we had everything else we might need. The food was absolutely delicious, a range of starters, mains and desserts were all enjoyed by the six of us, and Spin made sure we were happy with each course as we ate them. With full tummies and empty plates we all felt we'd had both excellent service and wonderful food. We would highly recommend La Pentola. Be aware, cash tips are retained by your waiter whilst tips you add through your credit card will be split by the whole team.

Bientang's Cave Restaurant & Wine Bar is a unique seafood restaurant located in a cave with terraces overlooking the ocean, offering an unforgettable dining experience. The menu features a variety of seafood dishes, sharing platters, fresh salads, hearty potjies and curries, as well as beef, chicken, and vegetarian options. Guests can enjoy their meal while watching whales and seals in the ocean below. The restaurant also offers a selection of local wines and creative cocktails to complement the dining experience.
A must experience if you are visiting Hermanus . You have to make a reservation as they get fully booked quickly, especially during the peak summer months . This is a tourist place , so the prices are high for us locals . Starters begin at R180 ..upwards for example. You can sit up in the cave ...or on the rocks itself right next to the ocean . Tables are spread from each other so you have peace and quiet to just listen to the ocean waves . Be warned ⚠️ wear comfy shoes , there are 51 steps going down a steep incline ..that is the only way to the restaurant no short cuts unfortunately . It does get windy ..you are right on the ocean after all , so do take a jacket with in case . I had the cape malay sea food potjie was served with rice and poppoddum, price R265 served in a little potjie pot. It was delicious, it was not hot spicy but had flavor , which is rare these days when people serve their version of curry , friends had the chicken and prawn potjie R265 and the battered hake with veg ..the battered hake was R175 ..also nicely prepared , crisp tempura batter on it not oily at all . Service was friendly and efficient . I have to take my hat off tk the waiters who have to walk up and down those steps constantly to serve us . Overall a lovely experience..especially for a special occasion ..I would think even a great venue to have an intimate beach side wedding.

We had a dinner booking for a Saturday evening at 18:00 and were seated on the deck overlooking the sea — a perfect spot to enjoy the sunset. The restaurant itself is uniquely set inside a cave, adding to the charm and atmosphere of the evening. My partner and I shared the seafood platter for two, priced at R890. It included tiger prawns, fish, calamari, mussels, chips, and rice. The portion size was just right for both of us, and everything tasted fresh. While it is on the pricier side compared to a standard seafood platter, you’re also paying for the stunning views and the overall experience. A truly unique dining experience — I’d definitely recommend a visit!
Jeanette — Google review
From the outset these kinds of places look like a typical tourist trap with sub par food and service because of the location and whale spotting, but this was definitely not my experience. We shared the Perlemoen bitteballen. Crunchy and fishy. Great start. At this point we spotted a whale breaching and it was honestly the most incredible experience of my life! For mains I had the Hake and Chips. Maybe I was still hypnotized by the whale but this was honestly the best freakin hake of my life!!! It was perfectly flaky, the batter was not your typical beer batter. It was thin and crunchy and such a nice contrast to the flakiness of the hake. Also, the portions were oh so generous!! I was very happy. Our waiter was also very jovial and provided great service. I would definitely recommend if you’re going to watch whales this season.

I was very excited to experience this cave restaurant and its awesome views. Food - Not alot of options on the menu. We kept in easy and simple with a hake and chips and a beef burger. Both our items were good. Prices are on the higher side. Service - Friendly helpful staff, not much to say here. Good job. Atmosphere - Amazing view. Bench seats are uncomfortable but practical. The stairs on the way down with test your knees and ankles. Beware.😅 I will not return but was a good experience for us and recommend for others.

The amazing location of the restaurant situated in a cave located next to the cove made Bientang's Cave restaurant absolutely unforgettable. They were fortunately able to seat out entire group including our late comers. For vegetarian food there weren't many options, I opted for the burata salad and a bar one milkshake. Though they listed many exciting flavours on their menu, they were only able to offer me 3 options. The food was ready relative quickly and was fresh and flavourful and the milkshake was thick and creamy. Overall a decent meal and though it was slightly pricey the view and proximity to the whales was well worth it. Our server was decent and helpful as were as the rest of staff at the at the restaurant. Definitely a must visit, in my opinion, even if it's just for a drink.

The restaurant is very busy and usually booked well in advance. We didn’t have a reservation and were only offered a spot at the drinks table, which had just three chairs and wasn’t suitable for a disabled person. When we asked if alternative seating could be arranged, we were told it wasn’t possible. After mentioning that we would note this experience in our review, the manager accused us of emotional blackmail and was nearly verbally aggressive. I would strongly recommend some hospitality training for the management team.

Fishermans Cottage in Hermanus offers a unique dining experience with a touch of history. Housed in a building from the late 1800s, this intimate restaurant exudes an atmospheric vibe. The menu showcases the rich seafood of the coastline, along with meat and vegetarian options. Chef-owner Anton's specialties are prominently featured on the daily blackboard menu.
A wonderful evening! Many thanks to the very friendly staff who even offered us a seat in their private family area at the counter. The atmosphere was unique and cozy. The recommended fish was absolutely sensational and the fresh, draft beer was the perfect accompaniment. An all-around successful visit – we will be very happy to come back

The food was amazing. We had the oysters. The flavour was very nutty. For starters we took the hake paté and mussels. The hake paté looked like a star dish. The mussels were big and tasteful. We loved the Garlic sauce! We took Prawns for dinner. I recommend the prawns with Rice. For the wine, we took a Nice bottle of chardonnay. It was a bit more pricey. The house wine is very good and cheap. Zizo was our waitress and took so good care of us. She was really helpful, patient and took initiative. One of our best places for food in SA

Hermanus Char’d Grill & Wine Bar – Where Aged Meat Meets Perfection If you’re a true carnivore or just someone who appreciates exceptional food, Char’d Grill & Wine Bar in Cape Town is an experience you don’t want to miss. This restaurant has earned a reputation for its meticulous approach to aging meat, and it shows in every bite. The flavours are deep, rich, and perfectly balanced – a true showcase of culinary expertise. The atmosphere hits that sweet spot between stylish and comfortable. It’s the kind of place that works for a casual dinner or a special celebration. Add to that a wine selection that pairs beautifully with the menu, and you’ve got a dining experience that feels both refined and relaxed. Now, let’s talk about the burgers – because they deserve their own spotlight. These are not ordinary burgers. They’re crafted from premium aged beef, seared to perfection, and served with fresh, thoughtful accompaniments. The texture is melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the flavour is unmatched. In fact, I would go so far as to say Char’d serves the best burger in Cape Town, possibly even in South Africa. It’s bold, but after one bite, you’ll understand why. What makes the whole experience even better is the value. For this level of quality, the prices are incredibly reasonable. It’s a rare combination of fine dining quality without the pretentiousness or over-the-top cost. If you love perfectly cooked, aged meat, excellent service, and an inviting atmosphere, Char’d Grill & Wine Bar should be at the top of your list. Our host, Bianca was great.

During the Whale Festival on Saturday 4 Oct '25, my wife and I walked into Char’d, and their reception was on top form. We were assigned to Chengo... wow, what a guy! I ordered a burger that wasn’t on the menu because and said I prefer a Blue Cheese Burger. Chengo said it can be done... I’ve done a number of restaurant reviews over the past 10 years, and I have never tasted a burger this good. This is the honest truth! The balance between the loaded toppings and onion rings with the most devine blue cheese sauce that lingers in the back of your mouth was spectacular. The most impressive part was the smoky flavour of the medium-rare patty... not sure how they managed to smoke a beef patty and still keep it medium-rare. I’ll probably roll around in bed for the next few weeks trying to figure it out, but what an awesome meal! This is no joke. When I was having breakfast at another restaurant on Sunday morning... I found myself fantasizing about that smoky Blue Cheese Burger while eating breakfast... unthinkable I n my part... I will drive from Melkbos to Hermanus on a Saturday morning just to have that experience again. Well done to whoever is responsible for this experience... and may I again add a BIG compliment to Chengo. I don’t travel much, and I’ve just met the best and most professional waiter in South Africa... ever!. He’s clearly been doing this for a long time, and it shows... what a guy! OH yes, The cheesecake was amazing.... THANK YOU Char'd. See you VERY soon.

A wonderful unforgettable experience! It's been almost a year since we ate at this restaurant and I can't stop thinking about how great it was! If we had had a longer stay we would have gone there again! The food is exceptional, the best lasagna I have ever eaten! The service was also incredibly friendly, attentive and very helpful with tips for the area! In addition, the meal including appetizer, Aperol beforehand and a bottle of wine was very reasonably priced. Moreover the portions were really large and more than enough. I can really only recommend anyone to stop by here!

Very good food, it’s just not authentic Italian as claimed but the food was amazing, I had the lamb shank pasta - there was far too much oil but it tasted really good and my fiance had the bacon, Bree and fig and it was very good - our waiter Bianca was so friendly and a lovely person

we had high expectations for this resturant considering its high reviews, the menu, and the images of the food. However, after taking our orders we were sitting waiting for our food an upwards of 40 minutes. We had no problem with the waitress, she was very nice and accommodating. We ordered a margarita pizza that tasted like cafeteria reheated microwave pizza, no where close to the quality we were expecting for the price we paid. We ordered a pesto pasta and from the smell and the taste, some ingredient in it was off, it was bitter and did not seem good to eat. We also ordered the lasagna which was the only truly redeeming dish, it was delicious and the portion was large. The schnitzel was good but was not a true schnitzel, it was not flat, thin and the breading isn’t what is usually used for a schnitzel. It resembled more like a fried chicken breast. We had a side of salad to go with the schnitzel and it was clear the quality of the produce they were sourcing (especially the tomatoes) was poor. In addition, the way they served the salad seemed lazy, all vegetables were mandolin sliced (julienned) and it lacked dressing. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting due to its high pricing for the poor quality. The owners should consider renovating the old interior and updating their menu to focus more on quality rather than quantity.

Hubby and I ordered pizza and we were truly disappointed. The pizza was so flavourless, dry and hard to bite through that the cardboard box it came in would have been easier to eat. The hostess was lovely and general ambiance had an appeal that made us consider an in house meal in the future, however after the poor food we will rather give this restaurant a pass.

Don’t bother to visit! Feels like only a certain type of people are welcomed here. Someone please tell me we’re living in the 21st century. What an awkward dinner and the most unwelcomed I’ve ever felt in my life!!!! The dude (posing as some sort of manager) in the front with a striped blue shirt tonight, What a jerk of note! He was very displeased with our patronage and came across passive aggressive and borderline racist! The owner stood at our table but did not say a word to us, however, he ushered in and visited other patrons to ensure their comfort and satisfaction. The food was delicious - thank you to the chefs working hard in the kitchen. Be warned, I was served my ice cream in their worst ramekin (unless chipped and warn out is what they were going for).

My girlfriend and I went to Rossi’s on a Saturday night without a reservation. The male host immediately told us there were no tables available and said we could only sit in the bar area on small round tables or at an uncovered street side patio table. At the time, the restaurant had only a few tables filled. We decided to leave but, suspecting racism, we called about ten minutes to make a reservation — and suddenly, tables were available. It was clear to us that the male host’s behavior was discriminatory. As a mixed-race couple, we felt unwelcome. What happened was not just disappointing — it was disgusting. No one should be treated differently because of who they’re with or what they look like.

Just Pure Bistro is a charming little bistro that takes pride in using fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced ingredients. The menu offers a variety of health-centric options including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and low-carb choices. From poke bowls to Vietnamese coffee and bunless burgers, there's plenty of variety to choose from. Situated overlooking an expansive bay, the bistro provides uninterrupted views while serving up the finest dishes made with the freshest ingredients.
One of the few bistros/cafe’s where you can see a view of the ocean. Lovely food, with a nice variety of interesting and standard lunch meals. I’d recommend their freshly pressed juices over a cup of coffee though as a bit of a coffee snob, but every thing else including their cheese cake is delicious. I had their salmon poke bowl today and it was delicious with plenty of salmon, radddish, avocado, roasted macadamias and delicious sticky rice. 10/10 for this dish!

The baked cheese cake was truly exceptional - creamy, rich, and utterly divine. The croissant was equally impressive, with layers of flaky pastry that simply melted in my mouth. Both were clearly made with love and care, and it showed in every bite. The dirty chai was a real treat, with the perfect balance of spices and espresso. It was rich, creamy, and utterly delicious.

A delightful stop. Just opposite the cliff path in Hermanus. Outside and inside setting. Little doggie was allowed outside. Very smart inside. The menu is vast, breakfast ends at 11.30. We had brunch. It's called a patteseri, not sure why as the only pastry available was a croissant..it was heavenly though Served with preserve and cheese and butter. Ginger tea and honey on the offer as well. A view of the ocean, added a unique touch.

A bad experience indeed. We entered at 15:25 and were immediately told at the door that they actually close at 4pm. No problem for us, I said, as we only came for a quick coffee and cake. At 15:40 the cleaner started mopping the floor around us, moving her bucket with filthy water all around our table while having a loud conversation with her colleague who was using the table next to us to fold & stack napkins or tablecloths. More people entered from the ocean side and were told by the cleaner that they need to sit somewhere else as she is busy there. Should cleaning and prep not be done after actual business hours? We had good coffee and great carrot cake within a disgusting atmosphere.

This place turned out to be the perfect breakfast place for us. Huge variety of food and freshly pressed juices. The staff were fantastic. Located on marine drive with fab views of the bay.

Great bistro with excellent food. How hard is to make a fry egg? They managed to make it "Perfect". The breakfast was superb, great mushrooms, fry tomatoes and sausage. The bacon was good, perhaps not as crunchy as I like, but excellent nevertheless. Down size ? The coffee. The cappuccino was a coffee with milk, nothing close to a cappuccino l. The coffee as well as the hot chocolate were weak. Prices are in the higher-end, but the service, quality of food and view (just infront of the whale coast) justify it. Recommended.

I love just pure. I’ve been eating their amazing chicken salad since I was a little boy - would definitely recommend. Their breakfasts are also very good.

I would definitely recommend popping in at the gift shop to treat yourself or a buy a last minute gift.

Hermanus Country Market is a vibrant Saturday morning market located at the Hermanus Cricket Club. Since 2006, it has been a gathering place for local vendors from the Overstrand area, offering an impressive variety of goods. Visitors can explore stalls featuring fresh organic produce, homemade delicacies, artisan breads, handmade cheeses, and much more. The market also boasts live music and a range of arts and crafts.
First time visiting and blown away. These guys don’t mess around. From sparkling wine and oysters for breakfast to all kinds of baked goods, each more mouthwatering than the next. And the most beautiful, fresh, organic veggies and fruits; a peach the size of a mini soccer ball. Best of all, no made in China trinkets in sight. Just 100% proudly South African hand crafted goods made with care and love. They make it very tempting to make the 90 minute drive on the regular.

If you're on the hunt for an unforgettable seafood experience, look no further than Hake Away. This gem is renowned for its incredibly fresh fish and chips, featuring hake that boasts a perfectly crispy coating while remaining tender and moist inside. The crumbed prawns are also a must-try, adding to the delightful array of flavors. Be mindful of the generous portion sizes; even small orders can be quite filling!
Arguably the best fish and chips I've ever had! The hake was exceptionally fresh, boasting a crispy exterior and a soft, moist interior. The crumbed prawns were another standout. We ended up ordering too much, unaware of the generous portion sizes, especially the chips. Although they were out of calamari during our visit, I appreciated their commitment to serving only the freshest seafood. Unlike other places that might sacrifice quality by serving frozen alternatives, this joint stays true to its values. That authenticity makes it truly special. I'm definitely looking forward to my next visit!
Jandri P — Google review
The Sushi was divine… not had such great sushi in a while. The calamari was over done and too crispy. The hake was good. The extras, like roll and sauce is way too expensive. The person behind the counter was really grumpy, maybe he did not just like our family of 8. Meals did not come with any cutlery or serviettes. I asked for some and he gave me three, I asked if I could have more, he gave me one more, I had to say to him that there is eight of us and very unhappily gave me another two. The service from him was extremely poor. When I look at the around the store, and see all the signs on the wall, it is possible that he could be the owner as the signs matches his character. I must admit that we were there for a while eating and noticed that he did not treat everyone that came in the same. We also wanted more sushi and he said that sushi was over. While we were eating we noticed that more sushi was coming thru, not sure what that was about. I don’t believe in off days, if we in business we should always be on top our game. We won’t be there again, will try Lemon and Lime next. Dear John, thank you for you response. I get it that we don’t always get it right. Your response as changed my mind about coming back there. When I am passing again, I will make it an effort to come support your establishment. Take care☺️

We popped in to Hake Away On recommendation from our Airbnb host and we were not disappointed. We ordered a small portion of Hake and Chips as well as calamari and it was outstanding. Portion sizes are very big so order a small portions if you don’t eat a lot. The hake was excellent and I can highly recommend that as well as the calamari . Be prepared for a wait in busy season or perhaps place your order telephonically before you go to avoid a wait. The team behind the counter do let you know if they’re busy and how long you will be waiting for. Trust me - it is worth the wait

Whale Coast Brewing Co. is highly recommended by friends and family due to its unique and exclusive atmosphere. Despite a limited number of tables, the experience is worth the wait in line. The beer tasters offered help pass the time while waiting for a table, allowing patrons to make informed decisions about their order. The Weiss and Stout beers are particularly noteworthy as they have both won silver medals, but there are various other options to suit different preferences.
Our recent visit to Whale Coast Brewing Co. in Pearly Beach was nothing short of delightful. The cozy and relaxed atmosphere set the perfect tone for an enjoyable evening out. We started with the Camembert and honey dish, which was a beautifully balanced combination of creamy cheese and subtle sweetness. The crumbed mushrooms were another highlight, perfectly crispy and packed with flavor, while the chicken strips made for a tasty and satisfying option. One of the best parts of the experience was the dark brewed beer recommended by our waiter. It had a rich, smooth flavor that paired wonderfully with our meal. It’s clear the staff know their products well, and their friendly service made the evening even more pleasant. The venue is wheelchair accessible, which we appreciated, and there was plenty of parking available, making it convenient for everyone. The staff’s warm demeanor and the excellent service made us feel truly welcome. Overall, Whale Coast Brewing Co. offers great food, fantastic beverages, and a welcoming atmosphere.

This restaurant has had loads of media and publicity BUT for all the wrong reasons! It has a new owner and manager who grew up in the wine and restaurant business. He always had a vision to own a small and powerful eatery - and now he has it!! This energy is brought to the reception, creating the customers and right up to making food suggestions. Riposo has created the vibe that Onrus needed after @MilkOnTheBeach. Watch this area! The food was fantastic and authentic Italian dishes. Pizzi and pastas for every member of the family young and old. Stand out dish was the Eggplant Parmigiana - ordered and reorder by a number of our party (6 adults and 6 children). Please do not write off the seafood dishes! One of the best Overstrand wine lists at good prices! Have to mention that I saw loads of well known wine makers and owners having supper there. Food for thought?

Hosts Les and Francois are ready to receive you with their warm, friendly smiles and great service. If you have time to stop here towards one of the most scenic beaches in the Overstrand, do so. It will be a memorable experience, meeting the locals that hang out, come and go and stay for a quick visit on their way home from the little trading store next door. I love this place and will be back many times in future. Thank you for your lovely food and positive attitude during these hard times. #ThePizzaShack #Pearly Beach #Overstrand #WesternCape #SouthAfrica

Great place to get an excellent pizza. The smoking in the pub was just to much for me, because I'm not a smoker and they allow smoking at the inside dine area or outside dining. But it's the local people and visitors that like smoking, so they need the business it's just bad for a non smoker.

This is very much a local hang out place. We LOVED it! We were welcomed and had a wonderful evening, speaking to the owner and the locals. The play list was a good combination of new, old and Afrikaans songs. The pizza's are served on a thin base and devine. Looking for good company and amazing pizza's, this is the place to visit.

Pleasant atmosphere with good service. Place where many of the local characters meet to share fishing stories. Has a nice under cover area outside where drinks and the occasional braai can be enjoyed.

Wanted to have a take away Garlic pizza on a Thursday afternoon whilst sun was setting after 17:30 Was referred to Afrikanos and thought we'd pop in and out... "big mistake"! Ended up ordering a starter garlic pizza, drinks, a SMOG pizza (Salami, mushrooms, green peppers, enough cheese!) and coffee. What made the visit extra special was the service and conversation with Keith, the manager. Learnt a lot about the crocodiles, the business, the area and never felts rushed. Thank you, Keith and Team!

Totally didn't expect to find crocs in Gansbaai and a lovely restaurant to boot! Perfect spot for visiting after your whales/shark experience, even if you are not overnighting in the area. Food is lovely, crocs are awesome, staff is very friendly and the entire atmosphere of the place is just, well, perfect to unwind. Do bring kids!

This place is really unique. Food in restaurant is great and waiters are nice. But this is only half of what this place can offer. You can see or dive with crocodiles. Guides are really nice and provide you a lot informations about those interesting animals and feed them in front of you. This is really breathtaking experience.

Wimpy is a beloved eatery that has stood the test of time, offering a delightful menu filled with burgers, mixed grills, and other comfort food favorites. During a recent visit to the Whale Coast Mall location, I was greeted warmly by the staff and received exceptional service from our waitress, Rose. It was a special occasion as we celebrated my parents' upcoming wedding anniversary and birthdays. The atmosphere at Wimpy is generally clean and peaceful; however, it can get lively during peak tourist seasons.
Clean and quiet wimpy depending on what time of the year you come, can get noisy with tourists. Nice environment. The staff is friendly here and service is timely when tourists aren't around. Food meets the usual wimpy standard so if you enjoy Wimpy you'll enjoy it here too! Overall experience: great

We were seated outside and after my partner finished her food, my plate was removed Infront of me while I'm still chewing on food and still eating. Our bill was brought out before we could even decide whether we want something sweet. So I'm taking it that we just got chased away. Service is also so slow. All and all, i will not eat here again even if it's the last place on earth serving food.

Very bad experience. Food not all delivered with no excuse. When I ask about the salad, the manager give us an attitude. Later the waitress come and said "sorry I don't tell you we can't give you the salad". At the end they deducted R18 for the salad. I now understand why there was no other guest at 4.30 on a Friday afternoon at this place.

Ordered a strawberry smoothie but the description did not indicate any other ingredients. Thinking it was a pure strawberry smoothie, when I tasted it, there was clearly banana in. Thankfully, I’m not allergic to it but the manager (not dressed in uniform so not sure of seniority) reassured that there is no other fruit in it. Chatting to the waiter, she said they’re actually not sure since they get the cubes pre-made. I think it’s quite negligent to not understand the ingredients you’re selling. Especially since you don’t know a customers allergies. Their crispy stack was also quite disappointing. Overall, not the best wimpy and could do with kitchen training.

Wimpy is a beloved eatery that has been serving up comfort food for years, specializing in delicious burgers and mixed grills. While it may be pricier than other locations, the quality of the food makes it worth every penny. It's a great spot to grab an ice cream cone or coffee while enjoying a relaxed atmosphere.

I was here for breakfast. It said on google that they were 24hours, but when i arrived it was not, so i changed the hours on google to the posted hours. -arrived right at 8 when they opened, ordered bacon toast and hashbrowns. All was pretty good. -I remember a bit of confusion and language issues when ordering, I only speak english.

You guys have a prime spot - goldmine. However, your total lack of service is killing it. Was there this morning to buy takeaways, man oh man your staff is at the top notch of unfriendly. Standing alone at the till to place my order - just getting ignored until she finally thought I waited long enough.And then she really did her utmost to make me feel that she is doing me a huuuuuuge favor to take my order. Was there on another occasion - same horrible service. And then you guys close 15:30 in the afternoon. Obviously you guys have a huge investment somewhere else that keep you going and this is just a past-time. So disappointing for a SA classic. Rather drive to Hermanus and experience excellent service and food.

They are more expensive that any other branch i have visited, but the food is amazing, used to drink coffee there a lot but it started to taste worse and the price went up. If you are just passing by this is a nice place to get a cone of ice cream or some coffee if. The food is amazing here and the staff is very nice but i noticed they can slack off a few times too.

I've been struggling with this wimpy the last few months. I work quite broad and get to my fare share of different wimpys. This is the ONLY wimpy that doesn't want to take my order for takeaway over the phone. Untill I threaten with a bad review then the management usually takes my order. According to the staff this is because of the owner. Very unhappy with this. Next to today. Today we went for a sat down lunch/Brunch. And we stood up and left when they said they had no soft avo. We tried offering to buy our own avo next door in the spar. But the staff said the owner won't allow this. The owner of this Wimpy needs to be more in store and actually make sure he has stock. I will be back to see if I can maybe give you a better review next time. Lovely staff. Management is the problem.

On entering, I was greeted by all three waitresses who were all very friendly. I ordered the coffee Milkshake and the Bacon, Avo & Creamcheese burger which I really looked forward to. The avo looked dodgy off the bat and I thought, well, it's not avo season so I can't be too fussy. I took one sliver to taste and had to spit it out. It was bitter as hell! I told her I couldn't eat it, had to remove all the avo. It's those frozen pieces one can buy in bulk. Wimpy - change tactics PLEASE. I've purchased those bags myself and most pieces are flash-frozen when the avo is not even ripe yet. It's never going to be the same as fresh avo. Rather offer guacamole or just offer when in season. Really. What a let down. I enjoyed the burger without it, however, I still paid full price. Also I was unable to give the waitress a tip as they don't get tips when paid via credit card. SHAME ON YOU Wimpy Gansbaai. I had to go draw cash to tip her. I've read both these complaints on here from other patrons and yet you haven't changed it. it's no wonder you have such a low star rating.

Awful experience. The 2 women ‘welcoming’ us at the front door and seated us did everything possible to make us rather leave ( I suspect owners or managers) They reluctantly gave us a table but made sure we know we’re unwelcome. Everything was made clear to be an effort or a problem. I don’t know maybe they’re exhausted at 1pm on a Sunday or maybe rather not have a table of 5, maybe didn’t like our faces… maybe but cut out for the hospitality industry… who knows. Would serve us only pizzas while other smaller tables before and after us had many other options. The Pizzas were surprisingly good though- saw it being made by friendly staff. What a weird experience. Avoid.

Atmosphere The restaurant is also an art gallary, with works hanged all over the walls. There is also a wine room with a bunch of beautifully labelled wines. 3. Food Our lunch was disappointing. 3.1. Stanford burger The bread was dry, and the rest of the burger was fine. It wasn't particularly good or bad, just sub-par 3.2. Pizza The pizza is thin and crispy, but not hard or burnt, which is great. 3.3. Salmon The salad was very light with the salmon, it was very disappointing. The salad also wasn't particularly great either. 3.4. Calamari. The Calamari is quite good, especially with the aioli mayo.

Really a gem of a place. Love the ambiance! The decor is calming. Staff are friendly and efficient. Breakfast was more than enough. Wr had the Standford Breakfast, I think, with choices below. It would be good to put the prices on the add ons. During winter, it may be wise to heat the plates up, and to keep the food warm before serving. Food was coldish but I was hungry! Still enjoyed it though! Coffee was excellent! I will certainly stop there again!

Online checkout didn't work, so we phoned our order in. We were told maximum 1 hour for delivery. After 1h15 we called and were assured driver was on his way. He eventually called us after about 1hr 40. Being a fast food joint we weren't expecting gourmet, but pizzas arrived lukewarm after all the delays. Last time we order here. Please supply your drivers with Google maps and keep patrons informed, we shouldn't have to call repeatedly to follow up.

KFC Hermanus 2 is a neat building and very well appointed as far this fast food king is concerned. You can place you order on the electronic boards or via the desk, so that’s a nice option. But the wait was too long – in fact so long that I regretted coming in to place an order when I could have had a delivery. But even the delivery guy seemed to be waiting an eternity – and there was no explanation for a wait much longer than the usual KFC standard. It’s such a pity because we all accept that KFC is the most popular fast food in the country but this branch lets the brand down, despite the appearance that the correct infrastructure is in place.
Duncan A — Google review
I need to raise a serious concern about this branch, which in my experience is one of the worst-run KFC outlets in the country. During my recent visit: • There was only one lady operating the counter, queues, and Uber Eats orders — visibly stressed and overwhelmed. • Staff seemed completely disorganized, with no coordination between them. • A staff member was running around on a wet floor, creating an obvious safety hazard. • A staff meeting was held at 13h00, during peak lunchtime, leaving customers waiting unnecessarily. • I also observed staff eating and chicken being thrown into plastic bags while customers were waiting to be served. This is not only unprofessional but raises serious questions about hygiene, safety, and the standards associated with the KFC brand. As others have also complained, I’m aware of the standard “please email us” response. I’m not interested in vouchers or freebies — I only want to see this store held accountable and brought up to the standard your brand promises. Please ensure that action is taken to address the management, staffing, and hygiene issues at this outlet.

I am disturbed by what I experienced here on Friday afternoon. Upon my visit, homeless people and vagrants were continuously entering the restaurant, begging to me and other customers for food or money and scratching in the bins inside the restaurant, all in full view of the employees who appeared to be completely unbothered by it. I couldn't believe this was allowed and considered normal. How awful.

Terrible service. I needed something quick and thought I would pop through the drive in to get some dunked wings. The drive in was closed. I walked inside and the place was empty except a lady behind the counter. She smiled at me and I placed an order on the digital kiosk and paid with credit card. So far so good. I walked over to the counter and she informed me that they did not have any of their burgers left. I said that was fine because I had ordered wings. I asked her how long they would be. She went in the back. She came back out and told me they were out of wings. I asked if they were making more. She said she would have to ask the manager and then just stood there for a while. I told her I didn't have time to wait and she went to ask the manager. She came back and said they were going to cook me some wings "in a pot." I asked how long and she said 14 minutes. I told her I could not wait that long and to cancel the order and give me a refund. She said she would have to talk to the manager. She went in the back and talked to another lady and then came back. She said she had asked someone to talk to the manager. About 5 minutes later the manager wandered out and had the cashier give me a refund and I left. They had wasted 15 minutes of my time and I still didn't have any food. They should have notified me when I came in that they were out of most everything. They should have acted promptly when they found out they were out of the wings. The manager should have come out straightaway. Terrible service. This is not the first time I have had bad service here, so I should have known better than to go there. I won't make that mistake again.

Not the type that complain, just send my wife to Sandbaai KFC to treat us for a nice meal in the cold. We live 15km from KFC. Now we are eating sandwiches as the first piece of chicken that I took a bite from was rotten. (Not off, not smelly but rotten) I am not even giving it too mu dogs. Well done KFC Sandbaai...you lost another client...damn...I am so disappointed)

Worst KFC! They must close this KFC Sandbaai immediately! When trying to order two separate orders as our friends wanted to pay their own bill, we were advised that this is not possible and asked if we can pay one account with two different cards, we were advise that that is not possible either. When arriving at the collecting window, we were advised to move our car forward. When I asked the lady why she advised that our food will take some time and she will tell me how far forward I need to move. I did inform her that I don’t want to sit in a dark parking area prefer to stay put. I ordered a box master and upon opening my food at the collection window, I noticed my wrap is half empty with a tiny piece of chicken that is the size of my tiny hash brown, three small pieces of letters, no tomato and one thin slice of cheese. When I asked the manager on duty why is the chicken so small and where is the rest of my food, he advised that that is the size of the meal. He was not willing to offer any solutions or adding the missing items. After a while of dispute and disagree, he offered to refund me if I give him back the food. Our friends were also missing items in their meals. This business is stealing money from hard-working people and ripping them off with false advertising. I do not expect any compensation, however do expect higher authority from the KFC brand to either make massive adjustments to this place or close it down. I do not want to be contacted as your issue is not with me it is your product and your services.

Tried out the new mcflurry kitkat and the new lemon litchi. I enjoyed both though with the mcfizz the litchi was overpowering. Overall, from Cape Town, the food was fresh, the service was steady and fast, staff friendly 😀

What shouldve been a quick and pleasant experience to go for a sundae, waffle chips for dipping and a nuggies for my pooch, turned into one of the worst experiences ever. Poor service, poor quality of staff, not helpful, no gm on duty, poorly trained staff, can't listen (don't want to), get orders wrong, makes you feel like you are wrong, all round shitty attitudes. Goodness it felt like a visit to home affairs. Get it right!

Had to wait in the parking bay, but understandable as they are quite busy. Easy and professional taking the order, enjoyed our take away.

I specifically ordered 2 meals and the order was processed as 1. I waited in a long queue for the second time to order the missing meal only to be told that I must wait in the parking lot because they hadn't finished making it. To add insult to injury, I had to go home with 4 cups of coke because they ran out of size large cups. Cold food and an hour wait for fast food is just ridiculous.

The people at McDonald's hermanus is very kind and helpfull. They are fast when it comes to they still need to make you stand aside and in 5 to 10 minutes they have your food ready and good to go

Stanford RePUBlic is a vibrant and lively spot with friendly locals and a festive country feel. It's known for its great service, delicious food, and a lovely atmosphere that makes it the perfect place to socialize. The establishment offers tasty pizza, excellent coffee, and superb breakfast options. Despite some areas experiencing power outages and water restrictions, the priority is to ensure that food reaches nearby areas affected by the damage caused by the Palmiet bridge.
Awesome little place, great service, friendly people, great food. Definitely a place to visit when in stanford.

We were here late in the evening for a bachelor's party. The locals were well on their way already. It seems like a cool place, but I don't think we were here at a good time. And it was a bachelor's. I can't give a fair review. I'll go back though.
