We dream, we cook & we eat well

Welcome to Hemelhuijs, an elegant café located in the vibrant heart of Cape Town, founded by Chef Patron Jacques Erasmus in November 2009. Hemelhuijs celebrates the beauty of fresh, local flavours, artfully mixed with global culinary influences, to create creative and inspired dishes. The seasonal menu, designed by Jacques, offers a delightful fusion of sophistication and simplicity. The all-day breakfast menu features the famous ‘mosbolletjie’ bread, and meals are complemented by handcrafted cocktails or selections from a curated wine list. The artistic ambiance reflects a commitment to luxury and creativity, with every detail thoughtfully considered. The restaurant also offers a unique homeware range, De Nagmaal, designed to bring a touch of Hemelhuijs style into the home.
