The Bistro in Hermanus: A Cozy Stop for Delicious Meals

Good morning, everyone! This past Saturday, Angelique and I went on a road trip to The Bistro in Hermanus. Angelique was in the mood for a long drive—at least two hours there and two hours back. We decided to head to Hermanus, one of the most popular retirement destinations. Much to our surprise, it has transformed into an exclusive holiday town with plenty to offer beyond the beach. This was our first time in Hermanus, and we were excited to experience everything it has to offer. Check out our previous post here for more on our journey.

A Cozy Lunch Stop

Around 1 pm, we made our first stop at The Bistro in Hermanus. Both of us were hungry—I’d skipped lunch, and Angelique had eaten an early breakfast. With so many dining options in Hermanus, we chose The Bistro. To our delight, it was just across the road from the sea. Not the beach, but the sea itself, which I’ll explain more about in my next post.

A Welcoming Atmosphere at The Bistro

The Bistro in Hermanus has both outdoor and indoor seating. Given the hot and humid weather, we opted for the inside seating area. It was such a pleasant surprise! The interior was cozy, beautifully furnished, and had a nostalgic feel of old-fashioned cafés. The staff was friendly, hardworking, and attentive, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Additionally, there was a small shop attached to the bistro, where you could find bath soaps, candles, and other lovely items.

Refreshing Drinks and Scrumptious Meals

We started with drinks: I went for sparkling water with sugar-free cordial, while Angelique chose a Coca-Cola. As for the food, I ordered the chicken schnitzel with salad and mushroom sauce, while Angelique went for her usual scone with cream. The drinks arrived quickly—less than five minutes—and our meals followed shortly after. The schnitzel was soft, succulent, and paired perfectly with the rich mushroom sauce. Angelique’s scone was, in her words, “absolutely delicious.”

Impressive Service and Exceptional Views

The salad accompanying my schnitzel was unlike anything I’d ever had before. After finishing our meal, we had a pleasant conversation with the waitress, but we had to leave soon as there were still a few more places to visit in Hermanus.

Why I Recommend The Bistro

I would rate The Bistro in Hermanus an 8 out of 10. The food was tasty, the prices were reasonable, and the view of the sea was exceptional. I highly recommend The Bistro to anyone visiting Hermanus. Don’t miss out on this cozy spot with fantastic food and a welcoming atmosphere.

Have a great day, everyone!
