Bientang's Cave
Bientang's Cave Restaurant & Wine Bar
A seafood restaurant built inside a seaside rock cave, where you dine on the rocks and can watch whales in season.
Bientang's Cave is in a seaside rock cave below the Hermanus cliff path. The tables sit on the rocks facing Walker Bay. From June to November, during whale season, you may see southern right whales while you eat. The menu focuses on seafood. The two-person seafood platter of tiger prawns, fish, squid, and mussels with chips and rice costs about R890. Grilled Patagonian squid and mackerel pâté are also recommended. Reviews generally say the views are unmatched, but the food quality varies and prices are high. It is very popular, so book well ahead. Expect to pay about R350-500 per person.
