    Signature Dish

    'Lemon Butta' - the food was excellent. Try their signature dish - seared Tuna, sesame coated. Courteous staff and good service and ideally located overlooking the harbour. Booking essential!

    Perfect thuna steak

    We have tried several restaurants in Hermanus but the thuna steak with garlick butter at the Lemon Butta topped them all. The service from our waiter Bongani was heart warmingly entertaining as well as competent. Thanks a lot for a great experience.

    My favourite Seefood Restaurant

    You can‘t go wrong if you order the Baby Kingklip with veggies or the tuna steak. Best quality ! Also the tuna carpacchio as a starter is absolutely outstanding.
