We had an amazing meal at the Pear Tree and all the accolades are well deserved. I had the pork ribs, which were tender, tasty and enough meat. We had the burnt cauliflower as a side dish and were amazed at the variety of flavours in it. The waiter (Massa) was brilliant, which added to s lovely evening. Hopefully the President will allow us to have a bottle of wine with our next visit, and hopefully the restaurant will be jam-packed with visitors - it deserves it! Don’t miss it!

“Amazing vegan food!!!”
I am a vegan. This place looks like a very traditional restaurant. But they have a vegan “chicken” sandwich and a vegan brownie desert. The “chicken” sandwich was absolutely amazing. Even the chips were sublime. And the desert was the best vegan desert I have ever had in a restaurant. Ever. I’m my life!! The service was also very friendly. I am astonished to have found such amazing vegan food while in holiday in South Africa. If you are a vegan or have a vegan in your group, or just like good food, then there is no way you should miss this gem.

“Even Better Than We Hoped”
We had been told how incredible the flavour combinations of the food was, and we were not disappointed. We had the seafood platter, root veg gnocchi (so so good) and steak & gnocchi - we loved them all and will make a point of going back regularly.

“A must visit spot for lunch in Hermanus”
Recommended by a friend, we visited Pear Tree for lunch on our way through Hermanus. A lovely location looking out onto the ocean but it's the delicious food that will remain so memorable. One of the best meals we have eaten and the Pear dessert is worthy of being on any top fine dining restaurant menu! Can't wait to return!

“Over spiced”
This is a very comfortable restaurant, unpretentious and easy going. Unfortunately there are lots of basic errors with the food. The starters are all a decent size but are sauced to hell. No flavour of pulled chicken or battered hake in the roll ups. The main course of pork (sous vide for 14 hours I was told) was as tender as expected but gosh, the amount of sauce was daunting. And it was covered in onion rings, no longer crispy due to the heat of the dish. Mistake. The pear (bright green?) was inedible and the choc ‘soil’ was disappointing. All in all pretty mediocre. Staff are all Zimbabwean and very pleasant and helpful.

Food Service Ambience Value for Money
Friends arrived from Jhb and on the spur of the moment we decided to go to the Pear Tree. A great decision. The food was delicious and Ashley's service was excellent. Furthermore, when Ashley heard it was our anniversary, she insisted on spoiling us with a serving of Pear Pannacotta...sooo delicious and such a lovely gesture. We were made to feel very special and will definitely go back. Thank you so much team Pear Tree for a lovely evening!
