The Harbour Rock Hermanus

 Rock on! With the best view in town. October is a windy month in the Western cape, and finding a good spot to have a meal can be tricky.   We were rewarded with a fabulous view overlooking the harbour in Hermanus at The Rock, and not a breath of wind either!The view of the bay was gorgeous, we watched the whale boats coming and going taking tourists out the see the remaining whales and calves in Walker Bay. We haven't dined at the Rock for a number of months (for no apparent reason) and we were pleasantly surprised to see renovations and extentions had been done.

Dining out on the balcony is going to be a hit during the summer holidays and I'm sure we'll have to make bookings well in advance. A new addition is the Sushi bar, the blackboard menu and the menu has been changed (for the better). Our selections came from the blackboard, we shared delicious Chicken Sate's and a fresh salad for starters followed by an excellent crispy duck and noodle dish. Our waiter was very attentive, made excellent recommendations and pauses between courses were spot on. The wine list is comprehensive from Moet to local plonk. All in all an excellent meal with a view. We'll definitely be back.
