If you are looking for a traditional afrikaans hearty meal this is the place. The service was fast, friendly and efficient. Food was fresh and delicious. Portions were more than generous and good value for money. Everything was spot on.
A fantastic old fashioned "farm styled store and food store" settled in fantastic scenery in the Hemel and Aarde Valley. The service was quick and efffect, the curry mince pancakes where fresh and piping hot served with a small portion of home made chips, the chicken mayo wrap was fantastic and fresh, the home made chips a killer and with some tomato sauce they where great. Cuppacino was average and the beer was well chilled. Will stop there anytime again for a bite.
We looked everywhere in Hermanus for a nice homely place with warm food, couldn't find anything! Drove all the way here and they said they were closed, think they could see the disappointment, so the owner made a plan and kept the kitchen open for us. Greeted with a smile and great service! Food was just as great as the welcome! Thank you Plaaskombuis!
We popped in to look at this place as it looked very popular and ended up staying for lunch. It's an interesting shop/restaurant but the outside enclosed patio area is really great for luck with lots of sun streaming in late afternoon and with great views over the stunning mountains. The area is huge and the decorations are just so interesting with old LP's in the tables and knitting needles with wool everywhere. Just a great venue for afternoon tea or Kate lunch.
We ordered toasted sandwiches that came with real homemade brown bread, as well as a spinach and feta quiche. Good food with friendly and personal service in a great setting.
This is my idea of what a farm stall should be! Die Plaaskombuis is rustic and vibey, with friendly service and a uniquely-stocked stall (things like vintage tins and lots of home-made goodies). The coffee is good and the food tastes home-made - and is very well-priced! Their French Toast is worth mentioning. I'll definitely be back to try out their lunch menu. Well worth a visit!
A hidden gem in the Hemel en Aarde Valley and one of my favourite breakfast spots when visiting Hermanus. The Plaaskombuis breakfast is a must - yum (breakfast is only served until 10:30 / 11:00 so come early). We are always greeted and served with a smile. Everyone is friendly. Nice relaxing ambience :)

Popped in for lunch.. And desperately needed some food to soak up the wine from all the tastings up the road. Had a fantastic toasted chicken mayo with delicious chips. The sandwich said it came with pepper dews and avo. The peppadews were inside amongst the chicken mayo but the avo was out of stock. We were offered some cheese instead which came in a little bowl. Hmmm.. Why not put it in the sarmie and toast that too? Made me wonder if the avo came in the self same little bowl.. Odd.. Service was great. Will be back.
Came back. Wanted another toasted chicken sarmie, but it was a Sunday. No can do, said Anna, our waitress. They're cooking Sunday roast. Saw a few as we were being seated. Didn't look that appetizing, so went for a cheeseburger. It was pretty good. Loved the roosterkoek roll at the start, but by the end of the burger it was just a bit too heavy, what with all those delicious chips too. My wife had the steak pie which to be honest, lacked spices and could have done with a quarter of the salt that was in there. Ease up on the salt chef, we can always add more if we like...
See you soon
Nice quiet and tranquil farm shop and restaurant.
The shop supplies fresh farm foods at really good prices. The owner is very welcoming and heartwarming.
The restaurant is stunning with jungle gyms, swings and plenty for kids to do. The food was amazing and the service top notch.
I would like to personally thank Webster; your service friendly, welcoming, informative and exemplary. Your warmheartedness and sense of humor made us feel right at home.
Unfortunately, we had a bit of hostility from the lady in the baking goods section. Not just did she shove through us without an apology but complaining about other clients whilst doing so. She was also very abrupt when we were about to pay leading to me returning the goods and choosing not to subject myself to her any further. Highly unprofessional and amateur.
Great little gem on the Hemel amd Aarde road. Had breakfast and it was delicious. Love the decor of old telephones and various other old things.
Best restaurant I have ever been to in my LIFE! TOP SERVICE, TO DIE FOR PANCAKES WITH A SINGLE BEAN. I CANNOT IMAGINE ANYTHING BETTER!!!!
The Plaaskombuis is open on a Monday which was a pleasant surprise, as they seemed to be the only restaurant open in the area. A large dining room serving home style traditional fare, a quirky shop selling all sorts of goodies, and a small plant nursery make this a pleasant stop. The service from our attentive and friendly waiter was exemplary.
We even knitted a few rows as there are knitting needles and wool on some of the tables. Makes a change from sitting on our phones while waiting for the order!
This was a fun place to take the children. There were several things to keep them entertained outdoors in the wonderful gardens. There was also a small play area inside for when it got too windy. The food is ok: I had a pancake filled with chicken mayo.
What an incredible experience. Professional yet so friendly and kind staff. A beautiful setting and the most delicious farm home cooked meals. And bonus, our desserts were included in our main meal price. Well done to this amazing restaurant in Hermanus...definitely worth a visit.

Large area, big portions, nice menu and tasty food. Some antique home items for sale as well. Not enough staff members for busy days.
Kiddies play area a bonus for parents.
I have been to this place on numerous occasions and always have a good experience. It is not too far from Hermanus and the only negative aspect is the road works taking place. However, the delay at the road works is minimal and will not spoil the trip or outing in any way. I strongly recommend this establishment.
