For the love of food, Hemelhuijs opened its doors in October 2010 . The restaurant is a small oasis in the heart of Cape Town, South Africa and offers an ideal escape from hustle and bustle. Sit and watch the city go by while indulging in freshly made jewel-coloured juices, paradisal cocktails or custom blended coffee and order from the all-day menu.

Heavenly sounds in Hemelhuijs... escaping steam from the espresso machine. Cappuccino foam and cinnamon, heavenly smells, heavenly tastes, steam fresh ciabatta. Crumbs on the table, asparagus on the palate, ginger on the nose, black salt, and green dhania. Red, red wine, ginger, and ripe tomato.

    Truly exquisite! From the moment you step in up until the last bite you are immersed by a thoughtful, nostalgic, elegant and beautiful experience. The food was amazing and the service complemented the pride they take in creating each dish with authenticity.

    5 stars to Chef Erasmus for this gem of a restaurant, fusing comfort foods with nostalgic Asian influences. The meatballs wrapped in cabbage and seared tuna with dashi butter were noteworthy. I appreciated the attention to detail down to the handmade ceramics,
