Cafè 1904 Restaurant

5 Ruan Stander - 3 months ago

Where to start, an absolute GEM of a place in the cultural heritage Centre of Hermanus.
Owners Endria and Johan cook up an absolute storm with a small kitchen, small menu and quaint little cozy restaurant.
Quality produce, made to order, delicious flavours. I ate Springbok carpaccio for starters which came in round slices, absolutely delicious with Chef Johan putting his own twist on the dish. For main I had the seafood masalla curry, which I cannot recommend enough. Full of fish, calamari, mussels and packed with masala u0026 curry flavour with a hint of coconut at the end. I tasted the ribeye, 400g, beautifully cooked and basted and soft as butter. The seafood platter for one is more than enough to feed any 1 person.

Now the ambiance, absolutely brilliant. The chef and owners explain the menu and walk around the restaurant. The waiters are brilliantly trained knows the menu by heart. It's a small restaurant and we interacted with tables around us which was an awesome experience.

Of you are in Hermanus, looking for good food, take my word. Café 1904 is competing for the top restaurant in Hermanus.

Amazing food and sublime presentation make this absolute gem of a restaurant a great experience.
The Thai Kingklip was amazing and I am reliably informed that the Pork belly was delicious.

Delicious! We had kingclip (Thai style) and local kaboujoul. Both cooked perfectly and lovely quiet setting with friendly staff.

What a beautiful must for anyone visiting Hermanus. Our host Andrea was so accommodating, the food was phenomenal with such a variety of flavours ( my taste buds are spoilt) and the general ambiance and eclectic style of this restaurant will be remembered as one of my favourites of all time. Excellent service from Mona Lisa ????

We went there on a recommendation by friends and weren't disappointed.
The food was just amazing, from the starters (the mussels are a must have) to the mains and desserts.
Mona Lisa, our waitress, did such a great job in guiding us through the evening - but the whole staff was just super fun to chat with.
