Dining & Cuisine
Ficks Restaurant
Historic Hermanus landmark Ficks Pool has been upgraded with an exciting new restaurant, Ficks.
The restaurant offers a range of Pinchos which are small sized meals inspired by a Nothern Spain cuisine. These flavour filled dishes are prepared by Chef Fadzi and Sous Chef Susan who's passion, creativity and effort is sure to be present in every bite and bring you an unforgettable dining experience. The size of these dishes encourages the ordering of a variety of plates and sharing them between your friends and family.
You are able to enjoy this fresh and exciting cuisine while relaxing on the wooden decks on the edge of Ficks pool, overlooking the endless beauty of the ocean and the it's surrounds while the waves crash into the rocks. In the late winter months you might even spot one or two of our giant ocean friends, the Southern Right Whales.
The restaurant is completely open air and will not be open for trade during days with rainy weather or extreme winds.
Due to this, Ficks is unable to accommodate reservations and private functions and will work on a first come, first serve basis only.
The Rock Restaurant
This lovely restaurant is located in the New Harbour which is within a 5 minute walk from the Lodge. The Rock restaurant is situated on the top of the cliff overlooking the Hermanus harbour. This is the ideal setting to take in the breathtaking 180 degree sea views across the bay.
The menu consists of freshly caught fish, meat and superbe Sushi for the Sushi lover.
Quayside Cabin
This "seafood only" restaurant, Quayside Cabin, is located in the New Harbour which is within a 5 minute walk from the Lodge. Quayside Cabin is interestingly decorated with fishermen's memorabilia.
The menu is surprisingly large (despite the fact that the restaurant is only a 65 seater), and it is one of only a few restaurants in Hermanus that serve locally caught Perlemoen. Starter recommendations are undoubtedly the Calamari (either deep-fried or as a steak), the smoked Snoek Samoosas, and the Oysters which are harvested just metres away.
The Burgundy
The Burgundy is located on the very edge of the bay and only a few metres away from Hermanus’s historic Old Harbour. The restaurant is approx. 5-10 min's drive and 30 min's walk.
The Burgundy is well known for the amazing dishes they serve, the beautiful view and the lovely atmosphere. Dishes range from fresh seafood to perfectly grilled steak to tasty vegetarian dishes
Origin at the Marine Hotel
Origin at the Marine is located close to the Old Harbour, in the Marine Hotel within a 5-10 minute drive from the Lodge.
The menu’s delicate and intricate dishes, paired perfectly with locally produced wines, reflect the Overberg and its distinct flavours and terroir.
La Pentola
La Pentola is a fusion cuisine restaurant located next to the Old Harbour. La Pentola’s culinary roots are drawn from French, Italian and rich Mediterranean flavours, fused with the best local produce available. All dishes are freshly prepared - no MSG or artificial flavouring is used in any of their cooking.
La Pentola is the go-to place in Hermanus for delicious meat and game dishes. While enjoying your tasteful dish, you will have a beautiful view over the ocean.
