Fick's Pool Restaurant — South African Seafood, Hermanus
Nestled along the stunning 12-kilometre Cliff Path in Hermanus, Fick’s Pool Restaurant offers an unforgettable dining experience with breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean, perched on rocks beside a natural tidal pool and providing diners with a front-row seat to watch playful whales and other marine life while enjoying the soothing sounds of crashing waves.
The cooking takes the South African coastal seafood tradition as its brief: the freshest available fish and shellfish from the cold Walker Bay waters, prepared with the care of a restaurant that understands the extraordinary natural setting that frames every meal.
The wine programme draws on the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley alongside the broader Western Cape selections.
Fick’s Pool is the Hermanus restaurant for those who want the Cliff Path whale watching experience in the most dramatically positioned dining room the path provides.
