We had a lovely dinner at fisherman’s cottage. Book in advance!
The service was good.
For starters I had the mussels in cream sauce to share with my husband and it was the fresh and favoursome! Delicious.
For mains I had the seafood curry, it was a very generous portion and every part of the meal was enjoyable. My husband had the line fish which was beautifully presented kabeljou with vegetables and I can’t fault it- but the curry was the winner for me.
The food and service were really great, a few more options for vegetarians would be great, the current options were served well and the seafood options were enjoyed
Hands down best restaurant in the Hermanus region. Great food, great service, good wine, lovely & cozy atmosphere. Well priced for the quality tasty meals.
With so many restaurants to choose from in Hermanus, its become a bit of a challenge to identify a restaurant where the quality of the meal and the enjoyment of the overall dining experience justfies the price charged.
The most satisfying dining experience that I enjoyed over our Christmas holiday was at Fishermans Cottage. The atmosphere is laid back and relaxed. Our waiter gave us the time and the space to enjoy our meals but was never out of reach when we needed his attention.
I ordered the sardines starter and yellowtail mains while my wife ordered the bread, humus and olive tapenade starter with the Argentinian mussel mains. We washed it down with chilled Durbanville Hills Savignon Blanc sparkling wine. Two hours flew by as we savoured the fragrances and flavours of each dish. We found nothing to criticise.
We will definitely return and can recommend Fishermans Cottage to anyone looking for immaculately prepared and tasty seafood dishes at reasonable prices.
My favourite dish and chips in Hermanus.
A quaint little building with the history plastered with the magnificent history of the place. Small, a lot fire place, blankets on offer and pet-friendly, it's the most intimate restaurant you'll find in the town.
The staff are ever so accomodating, the menu vast and the food authentic; the calamari comes served in a clam!
An amazing experience and we will return.
Very nice and cozy place. The have a fire going in winter time that help to beat the chill away. Food is very good. Had hake and salad and had to make a choice between the two because the salad was so different than your normal salad(exceptional).
Nestled behind the Old Harbour Museum in Hermanus, this quaint establishment offered both flavour and charm. I tried the Snoek and Patat off their chalkboard menu, I definitely recommend that you try it too!
Stopped in Hermanus for lunch and landed up at the Fisherman's Cottage. Glad we did! Good food and well presented in an eclectic restaurant. Happy to recommend

Hermanus is always busy especially this long weekend with the Extreme Sports taking place. We wandered past this quaint authentic building and were immediately attracted. I then spied some food on the tables and we were sold. The small inside area looked full but there were still a few tables outside under the large awning which we preferred but this filled up soon after we were seated. The service was slick and professional and our drinks came promptly. I had the linefish which they called "Sea Bream" which I discovered was Steenbras, a popular local line fish not often seen on menus. I had a generous potion very well cooked, juicy and very tasty. It was served on sautéed potatoes with a delicious mushroom sauce. Michele had the Chicken schnitzel which was accompanied by a large green salad, plenty of peas and beans, not much tomato, topped with feta. The accompanying sauce was a mild blue cheese which was also yummy. The only strange part was the 2 slices of ham plonked on top of the chicken? Never had schnitzel which ham and it didn't really add to the otherwise delicious meal. They have good craft beers and local wines with strong coffee to finish off! What a lovely find in the heart of Hermanus. Must come back for the sardines.
What a quaint and authentic place!!!! I had the line fish Kabeljou.. they cooked it PERFECTLY! Velvety, light and tasty and served with a lovely smoked risotto! It paired so well with the local and fragrant Wynskool Sauvignon Blanc that we had! Our waiter was friendly and super helpful, always giving us special attention! We could resist sharing a lavender and honey creme brûlée which was out of this world and totally worth it!
Lovely experience at Fisherman's. Oysters were top shelf. My fiance loved the sardines. We really enjoyed our afternoon sitting in the sun with some drinks.
We enjoy good fresh local seafood and were looking for an authentic local experience in Hermanus that want too (tourist) pricey and found this gem. Beautifully cooked locally sourced seafood in a cosy atmosphere with great staff. Highly recommended!!
We were in a big group and service was not up to the mark. My food was great (Linefish of the day - monkfish). But some others were not extremely happy with their food. The atmosphere is nice and cosy inside.
Really lovely place, and they have really prioritized quality over quantity which is great. We had an amazing two dinners here and was worth every penny
Excellent Menu. The Sweet potato, stuffed with Date Cream Cheese, topped with curried courgettes & mixed seeds was out of this world.
Outstanding Food - Great People, very cozy!! Would absolutely recommend!
We enjoyed our evening at this quaint restaurant. Seafood is of good quality. I had the hake & chiosi. Mussels were so good. The seafood curry pot is excellent. Friendly and efficient service. Parking is available at the square. Make a reservation to avoid disappointment as the restaurant has limited seating.
The seafood here is phenomenal 😋 the staff are friendly the prices are great and the atmosphere just amazing, if I ever pass through here again I will definitely be back.
Every meal I had here was absolutely 💯 👌
Couldn't be more pleased with our experience. Food, service, and atmosphere were top notch! Maxwell the GM hosted us at the chefs table (bar area) which completely added to the experience. A must stop next time you're in the area!!!!
Lovely place! Dropped by with a few friends last night. We got recommended the catch of the day which was the seabream and the kabeljau. Both were served on a risotto that would have been good enough for a shandalone dish. The oysters were very decent as well. Staff is generally friendly.
