The views from the deck of La Vierge are breath-taking. You can literally see Hemel en Aarde and the sea in the distance. It's beautiful. Their platters also looked exceptional. (We didn’t order one as we just had breakfast in town.)
Sadly, the wine didn't suit our palettes, which was a bit of a disappointment. But seeing that wine tasting is something entirely subjective, I'm still giving them a 4 star review. Our sommelier was very knowledgeable about the wines and we still had an enjoyable experience. That view really is worth it.
My families old favorite B's steak restaurant is now permanently at La Vierge. Still the best steak in town (and maybe even South Africa) but I do miss the option of being able to have mash or another form of starch. Very small and limited menu but it isn't an issue for my fam cause we always order steak and it's always cooked to perfection. Due to my excitement to eat I forgot to photograph my main meal which was fillet with blue cheese sauce and it was amazing! We shared lemon meringue for dessert and that was a winner too! Luckily I took a pic before the greediness kicked in! Will be back!
Spent the weekend in Hermanus and chose to start our day at La Vierge. The two ladies working there were friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the valleys and surrounding wine region. They took us through the six white wines they had to offer, explaining that the valley dedicates itself to nature, creation, heaven, earth and seduction.
