Lovely restaurant with beautiful decor and excellent beverages. The food we ordered was a bit bland and not well-seasoned, unfortunately, and the service was surprisingly slow. We were the only people there initially and breakfast took well over an hour. The menu is also kind of confusing, and our server wasn't particularly helpful.

I tried their version of eggs benedict, deliciously laid on a soft brioche bun. Full of flavour. The interior is simple and cool, makes a very good relaxed and interesting ambience. I look forward to try lunch options too.

This beautiful, quaint Cafe is a perfect gem of an eatery located in the city bowl on Waterkant Street.

A true bistro in every sense of the word, Hemelhuijs embodies elegance and tranquility. The café has indoor and outdoor dining; because it's located on a small, quiet street, outdoor dining is a pleasure. Indoors, the decor is a mixture of classic and modern and the atmosphere is buzzy.

The food is delicious. They have a simple menu with just enough options, but the flavors and combinations used are delightful. They serve a Vietnamese coffee - with condense milk - which is one of the best coffees I have had in a while.

The service is excellent, we had a wonderful server who was very attentive to detail and personable.

I will definitely be back!

This is a 'haven' where you can treat all your senses! They are specialists at great coffee and well prepared, tasty dishes. All served efficiently in a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Great breakfast place. Service was good. Food tasted fantastic. Especially the Crepes is worth trying: one of the best Crepes Suzette we ever had.
