After explaining dietary needs (non-dairy) food arrived with unsuitable inclusions. It took a very long time to effect suitable replacement. The waitress patiently recorded our requests but it seem the kitchen didn't comply.

We only had a really short time at the restaurant before we had to head back home. When we advised our server that we only have a few minutes, she made sure that we got our drinks immediately. We didn’t even wait long for our food. The wraps were delicious. We will definitely be eating at this restaurant again when... More

This is my favourite restaurant in Hermanus. The staff are friendly and efficient and it is one of the few places where dogs are welcome. The menu is interesting and the food excellent. I always choose to sit outside in the shade of an umbrella. All the outside tables have umbrellas and a view of the sea from the front... More

I'm a fussy eater and Savannah Cafe caters for all the special request I had. The hands on approach from the chef creates a great atmosphere and gives you peace of mind when ordering.

We stopped by for a cup of coffee on a rainy day and the Savannah Cafe was packed, but we weren't ignored. This place has a gem of a manager/front of house guy. He's on top of things, has a great sense of humour, and we didn't have to wait long for a table. Great atmosphere, fab service, yummy cakes,... More

A regular spot we visit in Hermanus. The atmostphere is warm, cosy and welcoming. The main courses are prepared fresh. The deserts will bring you back. Worth trying the cappuchino and a piece of cake (choclate or carrot).

During our last visit to Hermanus we ate at Savannah several times. Great breakfasts and wonderful iced coffee on hot afternoons.The food, service and lovely welcome kept us coming back time after time. We'll be back in December. Thanks again from Bre and the gang.

We had to options for dinner when we came to Hermanus: The Barfoot Cook, which seemed to be closed for the evening and Savannah Cafe due to good reviews on TripAdvisor! Savannah Cafe served very good South African food and wine. The service was perfect and we enjoyed every minute and every bite. We both started with Carpachio of Springbook,... More

We were recommended a visit to Savannah and boy, were we pleasantly surprised. We popped in for a quick lunchtime snack. The restaurant is fresh and clean, with large, beautiful paintings on every wall. We had an omelette and a chicken sandwich. Great lunch!

Wonderful to meet owner and staff. Service was friendly and our food was excellent and not over-priced. Wish we had room to try the milk tart pancakes that the people at the next table enjoyed. We will definitely return.
