Description: This International award winning destination venue is the most unique restaurant setting in the world. Created out of an authentic, cave previously inhabited by a Koi Strandloper of the same name, the restaurant spills out onto the oceans rocks of Walker Bay in Hermanus, where Whale Watching is the preferred local pass-time. The rustic charm and natural ambiance of the cave and it's surroundings is a delight to all our patrons with many returning year after year to sample the delights of Bientang's Cave. With an abundance of sea and bird life as well as Dassies for company, this exquisite setting is heightened by the freshest seafood and an award winning wine list (Diners Club Diamond Award 2010 to 2013).And, should you be a non-seafood(ie), we offer meat, poultry and vegetarian dishes to satisfy any palate.

X11 of us went from x18 month old to x50 yr olds plus
The x2 kids were playing in the restaurant area whilst we sat outside - the view was gorgeous. The food was great and the service faultless
Bit of a mission to climb down to the restaurant and more so climbing up lol
Would recommend and would go again

An Absoloute gem. A must when you visit this part of South Africa.

The best location you'll ever find for a seafood restaurant. Down the cliff at the waters edge.

Service with a smile, a big South African smile.

We had tiger prawns and a salad. Simple but beautifully executed.

Always love this spot! Always have whale sightings while enjoying my wine and calamari. Great staff, the best view and its cosy for both winter and summer. Food is fantastic too. Highly recommend

Beautiful location, average food and below average service. Food is overpriced for what it is and the service was appalling, our waiter said about 5 words to us the whole time and ran away every time before we were even finished ordering. We won't rush back!
