Hermanus - Stepping into the limelight for culinary excellence

From Hermanus to the Hemel-en-Aarde Wine Valley, there is a massive offering of surprisingly magnificent restaurants and eateries in this area to choose from.

Fisherman’s Cottage

As its name implies, this authentic 19th-century cottage specialises in the ocean’s bounty. Although most renowned for its gigantic seafood platters, there is also an extensive menu. Sit outside on the wooden benches when the sun’s out, or inside the cosy interior on chilly evenings – decked with colourful paraffin lanterns and seaside antiques.
