Hemelhuijs

Hemelhuijs We dream, we cook & we eat well Our menu changes seasonally and also features touches brought from our world travels.

Jacques Erasmus and the Hemelhuijs team carefully source ingredients and interweave the flavours of childhood memories and that of the exotic. Our offerings are presented in generous hand-crafted vessels and the service is simple, attentive but relaxed. Hemelhuijs also boasts its own homeware range and patrons can experience this unique range first hand in the restaurant, from the minimalist and c
