Barefoot Cook - Hermanus

Under new ownership, lovely garden space. The food is still great, they have stuck to the concept of really good seasonal food. Dessert is made in house, as are things like jams for teas etc. It's like visiting a old friend who is a incredibly cook. Great!

Sadly now under new ownership and its lost all its charm. No delicious pies or savory treats as before. Shop is much smaller and the outside sitting area is gone. This was one of our favorite places to visit and now no more.

Recommended to us on day two of honeymoon. I was so excited to visit the restaurant, as the Marine Hotel we are staying at recommended it. As we arrived to the restaurant we took a sneak peak at the art gallery. I found the perfect whale for our home in DC. See photo below! Unfortunately as we went to the dining room and were greeted by the hostess, all else went down hill. Greeted, do you have a reservation? Response: Yes! Hostess: followed by asking if the table was for two..? Response:Yes, please! Hostess: (as a bigger all white table comes in) “are you the table for 8?” Response for that table: Yes, actually we are only 7. Hostess then proceeds to sit them. Hostess takes our two menus and sits the group. Disappointed as Hermanus to me is known for the amazing food, and service. In a perfect world we would hope to be seated before seating later customers. As a mixed couple, not letting us down. But wanted to warn others. Excited for the rest of the city!

Amazing cappuccino for a very reasonable price. They had no pastries of the time I went at 11:00, so it is definitely recommended to go there much earlier if you want one of their freshly baked pastries. Really nice little shop with friendly staff!

Delicious food and great staff. The chefs have concentrated on a small menu that she absolutely nailed!
