Our first meal in Hermanus could not have been better. We wanted fresh beautiful seafood and we got it here overlooking the ocean. The Oysters were wonderful, the mussels succulent and the prawns really tasty not to mention the crunchy chips.Lovely friendly staff we could not have wished for a better way to spend our lunchtime.

Normally I skip the restaurants at the beach. But this is a little gem. Not because itâs ran by Dutch and Iâm Dutch. But the food at atmosphere are great and what you look for in a restaurant like this. There always busy with locals, tourists and I just like it. And letâs be honest after 4 weeks of traveling in SA a âbitterbalâ is just terrific.

Iâve come to this place for years, because of its ambience and its beautiful views. I fully know that itâs overpriced and that the food is pretty ordinary, but tonight I could nog help feel that itâs a complete rip-off. I paid R180 for an ordinary portion of cob and a single small serving of veggies. The fish was dry and overcooked - I could not finish it. Nothing special or extra from the chef, not even the normal serving of fresh bread. Wine priced at R180 a bottle (the cheapest available), and desert at R65 for a choc pudding. The crème brûlée at R50 was above average I have to admit, but still... Will I be back? Perhaps for a glass of wine, definitely not for a main meal. Furious with myself that we tipped in spite of the really bad value for money. But then, the service was friendly. So what do you do? You write a review so that the chef and manager can take note and do their best to improve. Itâs a crime to waste such a beautiful setting.

A quaint little place, focused on fish and shellfish, but meat and veggie options available. A good selection of fish, fresh, on the blackboard. Candlelit covered veranda with extra space outdoors. Very rustic. Friendly staff, attentive. You can take your own wine.

We recently honeymooned with a stay in Hermanus and wandered in to Cafe 1904 one evening. We were quickly shown to a table by the most polite and friendly servers.We got chatting and when they found out we were on honeymoon they brought a little congrats and rose to our table. It was a lovely touch but only the tip of the iceberg in terms of exceptional service - which I must stress extended far beyond us as honeymooners. Everyone was receiving great treatment.The owners came and chatted with us and about our holiday plans as well as congratulating us. I had a beautiful fillet steak dish with camembert. My wife had the salmon (three times the size of a fillet back in the UK). The springbok carpaccio and calamari starters were also stunning.One thing that was very obvious too was the relationship between the owners and staff. Laughing and joking and clearly a very happy place which extended into stunning service and food.

This restaurant will need to up itâs game to stay in the same league as other restaurants I ate at during my two weeks in South Africa. The service, while friendly, was terribly slow and we had to chase the waiter several times to find out when it would be ready. When the mains finally arrived, the food tasted nice but it was over priced for what we got. I ordered the seafood linguine which consisted of pasta mainly with a few scattered prawns and clams! It has potential but there are better place to eat in the area. Dear LoolieSorry to have disappointed. Your review jars with the vast majority of the feedback we get. Our apologies if the service was slow, the waiters are trained to advise that the chef prepares our dishes from scratch. As for value, the creamy pasta with prawns, fish and clams for the equivalent of â¬8,00 typically elicits very positive feedback regarding the excellent portion and value from mosts guests. We note you like burgers, pizza and beer; happily, there are a host of budget eateries in Hermanus.

A warm welcome, all from the staff get a thumbs up, in a cosy place which we found via TripAdvisor. The food was good the wine too. One advise for improvement. The tables are tiny already for two guests. If you order a bottle of white wine as we did, it needs to be chilled. Placing the cooling on the floor close to the guests feet is not suitable. Consider a table mountable wine bucket or at least a wine chiller stand.
