Eat is quite simply my favourite restaurant in Hermanus. Located in the Hemel-en-aarde village across Sandbaai, it is my dining room away from home. The staff is very friendly and accommodating.They know their menu well and make excellent recommendations. Definitely try their pear salad (great for light meal) or their separate to share menu (which I think is quite romantic).... More

My wife and I have been regular patrons of EAT since it opened nearly 3 years ago. Petrie has done a fantastic job at setting up and running a restaurant that opened when money was in short supply.

I've been to Eat many times and enjoy their food. They have a sheltered (and heated) outside eating area which has a nice water feature and atmosphere. they even given you blankets for those extra chilly days.

We have been to EAT a couple of times, but it is getting better all the time. We love their menu, because it's got something for every taste. The food is always tasty, the service excellent and friendly and the atmosphere very special. We've never had a bad moment there.

Yes, I tried it and it is true. The seafood risotto is just great! Great ambience, nice fireplace for the cold and rainy days. Service is good, very good food selection. Will go back!

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Will definitely recommend and visit again! I had the mussels to start with and then had the sundried chicken which was fabulous! Had a great bottle of wine and the prices were very reasonable. You have to try this place! you won't be disappointed! Kasia Hala from Poland

All seven of us enjoyed our special prawn salad or prawn tempura starters, we followed with 4 moules, 1 cob 1 chicken liver and 1 special pork belly... More

I had the pleasure of dining at 'Eat' on Valentines night; I opted for the special menu for the evening which was perfectly proportioned, divinely prepared and fantastic value; each course came with a glass of wine paired beautifully with its dish. The presentation is clearly carefully considered with unusual boards and plates for each course or side dish making... More
