Hermanus

In a pop-art, baroque chic style, the Burgundy Restaurant. To set the tone, clocks of all shapes or a wall lined with black and white photos of faces. The dishes are extremely well presented and good, even if the menu looks classic. Lots of local wines and fresh fish, caught the same day in Hermanus. Reservations are recommended, especially for a table on the terrace. Please note that the Burgundy works closely with Creation wines,an estate located in the heights of Hermanus. Visits and tastings possible.

Fish and seafood to the fore in this beautiful residence dating back to 1860, one of the oldest in the city. The Belgian chef prepares excellent fish soups, fried mussels, tartar accompanied by fried squid and a curry lamb for carnivores. The dishes are served on the pleasant terrace decorated with fishing nets.

The kitchen is run by husband and wife team Candy and Daniel Bradley, hence Cand's Kitchen. They are both chefs and passionate about what they do. We discover their selection of freshly baked quiches, cakes and salads that are purely and simply divine. A few dishes on the slate for lunch, a buffet for those who wish to take their meal away or an excellent breakfast for the early birds. Inside, it's cosy and the walls are powder pink. A truly simple and gourmet stopover that is a real treat.
