We went to Hermanus to spot the whales, but we only see the fog! So went earlier to the Restaurant @ Newton Johnson, where we had an "Hemelse" (= heavenly) lunch.
The starter one not to discripe, so good and tasty, the mains were wonderful and the dessert also. We we had a wonderful afternoon in the Hemel & Aarde vallei.
We will absolutly come back and will show our friends the lovely food of Eric Bulpitt and his team and the nice ambience.

We enjoyed an absolutely sensational lunch, every mouthful was a taste explosion and wonderful combination of flavours. The atmosphere was relaxed but professional enhanced by the location of the modern structures with the most amazing views.The service was timeous and well spaced. Our waiter was very friendly, informative and always available, hovering on the periphery just close enough not to be intrusive. An experience we will not forget.

Fantastic lunch with breath-taking views over the vineyards. Service was friendly, attentive but not over-bearing. All round a fantastic experience and definitely one to watch out for!

Such an amazing experience! It was really worth the long drive out from Cape Town. The food options were unique and flavourful. I would recommend it to anyone who asks.

About The Restaurant at Newton Johnson

Cuisine: Fine Dining

The Restaurant at Newton Johnson is a modern South African eatery. A space where contemporary and bygone cuisine is combined with relaxed yet precise service. The restaurant showcases local, seasonal produce, bringing a piece of the Overberg to the table.


Chef Eric Bulpitt and his team have a common respect for nature and the produce it offers and, intelligently combine them on the plate. Together they are constantly discovering and sourcing new and forgotten ingredients. Preserving, pickling, fermenting, smoking and open fire cooking embodies their cuisine.


The kitchen is the place where creativity flows. Menus are concise, allowing for more focus and are constantly evolving with the seasons. There is a sense of freedom as the menus are spontaneously changed.
