Introducing Chef JOHN BILLER
Heritage Restaurant Hermanus
After building a successful career in the construction and mining equipment industry across Germany, the USA and South Africa, and later working in management consulting, a lifelong passion for food inspired a new direction.
Following a personal life change, John completed the renowned Prue Leith Culinary Institute course and, driven by a love of hospitality, spent weekends honing his skills at Johannesburgβs acclaimed DW Eleven-13 restaurant.
Seven years ago, he relocated to Hermanus to join renowned chef Maurice Du Toit at Heritage Restaurant. Five years ago, he took over ownership of the restaurant, where he continues to focus on creating exceptional dining experiences, combining business expertise with a deep appreciation for quality food, hospitality and community.
