Hemelhuijs is a chic, inner-city café founded by Chef Patron Jacques Erasmus in November 2009, artfully blending South African heritage with global culinary influences. Renowned for its ever-evolving seasonal menu, the restaurant emphasises the use of the finest quality ingredients, creating a unique dining experience that is as aspirational as it is grounded in the beauty of simplicity.

Hemelhuijs has deepened its commitment to sustainability by acquiring farmland in Montagu, dedicated to producing its own seasonal produce. From the farm-fresh vegetables used in the kitchen to flowers that adorn the tables, the produce reflects the restaurant's belief in responsible and mindful living. This commitment goes beyond merely growing its own ingredients; it is about nurturing the earth, cultivating beauty, and providing employment. By sourcing directly from the farm, Hemelhuijs not only ensures the freshest ingredients but also reinforces its dedication to a sustainable style of living.
