Make a reservation today and come into the Wild!
Wild Hermanus
This gastronomical venture will tick all the UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy boxes, incorporating the regions indigenous foods and local wines, traditional elements, respecting the environment and the promotion of sustainable local products, and more –making a statement that is true to our UNESCO status, which is Marc’s vision. To translate nature, specifically our own, into cuisine, with seasonal flavour profiles.
To keep it fresh, the menu will transition with the seasons so that each new season is translated into the food and preparation, the cocktails as well as reflected in the décor. Expect some surprises for the entertainment side of things – you’ll have to pop in to see for yourself
The Look
New glass balustrades bring more of the gorgeous outside in, where you’ll find an interior that emanates nature with stone, botanicals and wood – including rustic exposed trusses.
The Elements
The four elements of AIR, FIRE, WATER and EARTH will be incorporated in the design, energy and cuisine. It is our basis from where we start our journey.
