Established in 2015
Pear Tree Restaurant was established in May 2015.
The name originated from the owner, Petri Hendriksz, who worked in the UK. His colleagues called him Pear Tree as they could not pronounce his first name, hence Pear Tree Restaurant was born.
Petri Hendriksz
Owner
Petri traveled and worked in the UK for several years.
Returning to his home country of South Africa, Petri wanted to create something different for Hermanus and that is how Pear Tree started.
“We try to maintain a simple yet sophisticated dining experience with fresh locally sourced ingredients.
Pear Tree has always meant a lot to me, I feel that what we do there is something unique and doing what we do out of that small kitchen is a miracle.
We constantly try to experiment with new ideas and like to think a bit out of the box.”
