Hermanus, just a scenic drive from Cape Town, has become one of the Western Cape’s standout food destinations. Its coastal setting means excellent seafood and relaxed seaside dining, while the nearby Hemel-en-Aarde Valley brings together some of the country’s leading cool-climate wine estates and farm restaurants. From casual cafés and local markets to vineyard lunches and more refined dining, the area has a strong focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients and local produce.
