Mother's Day lunch was very special at Heaven Restaurant with a view over the winelands below and surrounding hills. On arrival, I was presented with a glass of champagne and a posy of Proteas. As it was a special day, we had booked in advance. We were able to watch chef, Stefan, prepare our meals, which were delicious. I chose... More

Stefan and his team are wonderful hosts and the location and view superb! It was not our first visit but our first with the new team and we were so impressed we returned two days later with family to enjoy yet another sublime meal! This has to be one of our best eating experiences! Generally we'll taste each others dishes,... More

We was supposed to play a visit to the wineyard Newton Johson but did not get there instead lur attention was drawn to another house with a door saying Heaven. We went inside and we must say that it did not look that impressive. But when we tasted Chef Stefans magic the time stod still and we understod why the... More

We visited Heaven at lunchtime on 12 March 2013. We had no reservation but there were only two tables occupied. There was no one on reception, although there was a bored looking woman in the wine tasting room .We stood at reception for ten minutes and one one came. We were ignored by the lady in the wine tasting area,... More

On 2 week holiday in SA, lots of recommendations for this restaurant - glad we took time to find it after 2 nights in Hermanus and on our way to Franschhoek. Arrived for a leisurely late lunch - with reservations made by our concierge at the Marine Hotel in Hermanus. The food, wine and view were all "Heaven". The right... More

Great food (the beetroot risotto was perfectly executed), wonderful wine accompanied by attentive service and a view that is bordering the fairytale. What more could you want for lunch? M&L

Sometimes it's good that the Gods, and Heaven, are forced to undergo a refurbishment to match the standard being created in the Southern Tip of Africa. The weather was perfect. The view across to the ocean, under crystal pure skies, breathtaking. The indigenous flowers perfection itself. And the craftsmanship of food and wine extraordinary. The restaurant at Newton Johnson (Heaven)... More

Everything looks great as we arrived at the restaurant - it has a stunning location looking down the valley. We had a superb view from our window table. The menu looked very promising and we eagerly awaited our starters. They did not disappoint, very beautifully presented - especially the chicken ballantine and mushroom assette. Sadly, it all went down hill... More

We were a table of four, with not the best views. We were offered a table with views twice for the attentive staff. Service was very good, willing to pas on details when questioned. They were prompt with the delivery advising us of the status of the preparation and apologising for a slight delay. We shared starters, easily enough for... More
