The Hermanus restaurant, Moody Lagoon is set in the heart of the Benguela Cove winery complex. The restaurant is in an elevated setting with expansive views of the lagoon and the Atlantic ocean. The kitchen is the domain of Annie Badenhorst. A talented young Namibian chef with a passion for finding only the best fresh produce and creatively turning dishes into simple but creative menu items.

You can expect outstanding views, a casual and relaxed daytime eatery in the harmonious Hermanus. With outdoor covered seating areas. We offer our guests a choice of delishes dishes, paired with sensational wine from Benguela Cove’s Winery. In the evening, Chef Badenhorst likes to cook to create a memorable occasion. This delightful Hermanus restaurant is the perfect place for a date night or a night out with friends.
