Café 1904

Welcome to Cafe de Voorskooten. We are a small and intimate eatery located in the heart of Hermanus with a passion for food and people.

We serve hearty breakfasts including creamy scrambled eggs, boiled eggs with picked fish (a personal favourite), fresh croissants and more right down to a humble anchovie spread on fresh hot toast.

Lunches include light summer salads like smoked chicken salad, quiches with salad & jacket potatoes, delicious burgers, savory pancakes and on Wednesdays & Fridays we will start a tradition of braaing lekker wors in the courtyard behind the eatery, served on fresh fluffy soft rolls and smothered in homemade onion relish, simply delicious!!

Our dinner service is traditional boerekos at it's best. Bobotie, tripe, bredies like our popular Lamsbredie served with stamp mielies and pumpkin fritters and loads of other Afrikaans favourites.

Coffee's Tea's and fresh bakes are available daily. We are fully licenced and support local wines produced in the beautiful Hemel en Aarde Valley.

Come and experience our good old fashioned Afrikaner hospitality and cuisine at Cafe de Voorskooten.

In & outdoor seating available. Hope to see you soon.


In the evening we serve traditional boerekos like lamsbredie served with stamp mielies and pumpkin fritters and lots of other traditional Afrikaans dishes.
