"Visited this place on our first day in South Africa, landed in Cape Town and rented a car to Hermanus. But this place was the first stop, even before checkin-in.
There are several wine estates on the way there but this one has probably the most extensive (and delicious) food menu. The steak didn’t disappoint, it was marvellous. The ramen has a local twist probably - don’t expect the Japanese style, but I liked it.
Wines and views are magnificent.
4.5 Stars – Excellent:
Delicious, memorable, and expertly crafted. High-quality ingredients and exceptional flavor. Service is friendly but had to follow up a few times on some orders"
The Biodynamic Duo
"Not the cheapest restaurant by far, but the food, wines and service quality is of a very high standard and that sets the prices.
We enjoyed the wine pairing meals. What an excellent tastebud experience. Well prepared portions of food both in taste and texture accompanied by good quality Creation wines. On top of that the superb staff showed good skills in explaining the food as well as the wines.
Included are a few photographs of the food
To us, it was well worth the effort and cost.
A very highly rated experience"
