Hemelhuijs Details PleaseMonday through Friday 9 AM - 4 PMSaturday 9 AM - 3 PMClosed on SundayWhat Our Friends Are SayingCondé Nast Traveler: "A design-forward restaurant that looks like it could be a gallery, but happens to serve seasonal comfort food drenched in nostalgia"EATER: "You might not recognize Hemelhuijs if you only stop by every few months. Chef and owner Jacques Erasmus transforms the menu every season and changes up the restaurant’s interiors to match, painting the walls in bold new colors. One enticing thing you’ll always find on the menu, though, in one form or another, is thick slices of mosbolletjie bread, which is laced with aniseed and grape must."

The ever-evolving Hemelhuijs restaurant likes to keep things interesting by changing up not just its inventive cuisine every few months, but also its interior décor. Comfort food breakfasts are served all day and are the talk of the town. They’re also a nice contrast against the fancy, art gallery feel of the restaurant.
