    Who doesn’t love Italian cuisine? La Cantina has a beautiful atmosphere with friendly staff and a welcoming presence…. The menu selection for and Italian restaurant of this caliber is somewhat disappointing… The pasta selection is extremely average and on arrival looks pretty disappointing… I opted for the truffle Rigatoni which hardly had any truffle presence… I asked for more especially at the price. It was pretty tasteless and needed the extra garlic, Parmesan and chili to lift the flavor.. expensive and unimpressive The table agreed with every meal overpriced, small portions and underwhelming taste. Hope it was a bad day … next time we hope to see an improvement..

    The setting of the restaurant and the surroundings are impeccable. I enjoyed the ravioli and had a bite of my boyfriend's oxtail which was fantastic. A great addition to the Fancourt experience.

    Had a mussel soup starter, duck for mains and crembrulee for desert. The food is delicious and highly recommended this restaurant in Hermanus.

    Fine but the mission to get from parking to the restaurant and the lack of signage showing were the parking is, plus google sends you to the wrong gate, simply means we are unlikely to rush back. Better, better value restaurants exist without the hassle.

    Food was ok, but a bit disappointing for us. Italian dishes but not really italian-like.

  • 3/5 Jane E. 1 year ago on Google • 20 reviews
    Strange parking with golf cart shuttle. Also Google takes you to the wrong gate to Fancourt. Food good, but not special and we really did not need the "Happy Birthday" singing. Will go to Spur if that is what I want.

    (Translated by Google) Sensational restaurant, located inside the hotel complex but you can enter normally and have parking, a bit expensive but the dishes are wonderful. (Original) Restaurante sensacional, fica dentro do complexo do hotel mais pode entrar normalmente e tem estacionamento, meio caro mais os pratos são maravilhosos.

    Stumbled upon this place by mistake. VOVO and her team graciously welcomed us making our breakfast experience a memorable one. Would highly recommend La Cantina, great ambiance, delicious food and excellent service.

  • 5/5 Andre Du T. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely beautiful setting and food of the highest quality with matching service from the staff!

  • 3/5 Peter van der M. 2 years ago on Google
    Gorgeous restaurant in stunning setting. Service efficient and friendly. Pizza outstanding. But eating out is all about value. So at R500 for a pizza, a plate of mediocre penne arrabiata and a couple of glasses of wine, mark me down as not blown away.

  • 5/5 Phoenix L. 5 years ago on Google
    Fantastic service. We had the buffet and every thing was tasty. From the starters of fresh fruits or cheese selection, through the main course of tender lamb and assortment of cooked and fresh side dishes. Now the dessert... Wow, melt in your mouth morrish treats... Well worth the time and money. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    Enjoyed a beautiful and elegant lunch today at this very trendy place. The decor and setting is sensational. Very efficient and friendly staff who pay attention to every detail as would be expected. The food was gorgeous. A good variety to choose from and some excellent vegetarian dishes prepared as well. Dessert was the perfect end to a splendid meal. Thank you for providing me with a memorable experience.

    Very wonderful. We shared some starters and dessert - it was hella tasty. The gelato was only okay though. The panacotta amazing. The atfogato not my favourite. The carpaccio and calamari very delish. Service was excellent and the spontaneous unexpected entertainment also. Comfy chairs :P

    Went for breakfast. Nice service, reasonably good selection of cold and hot food. Only 4 stars because they don't have good / fresh bread.

👍👍 I enjoyed my time and food at 34 Degrees South. If you sit outside, you get treated to awesome views too of what can be described like Venice. Towards the latter part of the day, you'll see a gorgeous South African sunset (if there are no clouds). I had some wine by the glass, one of the few places...
