Morning Goals: Cracking Into the Moody Lagoon Brunch Menu

Some people do brunch. Moody Lagoon commits to it.

Overlooking the water at Benguela Cove, this weekend-only spread (plus public holidays) is less of a meal and more of a weekly event where late mornings are celebrated with equal parts elegance and “please bring more syrup.”

What’s on the Brunch Menu?

• Things kick off fresh and fruity with a Seasonal Fruit Smoothie—a cool, creamy blend of local produce and double cream yoghurt that basically says, “Yes, you’re making healthy choices… sort of.”
• From there, it’s a choose-your-own-adventure of brunch classics with a twist. Artisanal Muesli Jars arrive like a Pinterest dream: layered with yoghurt and berry compote in a jar, crunchy and creamy in all the right ways. Then there’s the Nourishing Chia Bowl, where matcha and coconut milk team up to make soaked chia seeds taste way more luxurious than they have any right to.
• Sweet tooth? The Brioche French Toast Indulgence is your golden, syrup-drizzled answer. Thick slices of vanilla brioche, mascarpone, and a gentle spread of preserves—basically the grown-up version of a breakfast dessert, minus the guilt.
• For the savoury-inclined, Eggs Benedict comes with poached eggs, crispy bacon, herb-grilled tomatoes, and a fennel-spiked hollandaise that could win awards. Avocado lovers get their fix with the Garden-Fresh Smashed Avocado on ciabatta (bonus eggs optional, but highly encouraged).
• Want something a little more loaded? The Gourmet Breakfast Bun pulls zero punches: beef patty, bacon, egg, rocket, local salsa, all squished between a sesame milk bun, served with fries, because brunch calories don’t count. Obviously.
• Seafood fans aren’t left behind either. The Smoked Mackerel Breakfast brings peppered mackerel in a herb cream sauce, soft scrambled eggs, potato rosti, and a salad that even salad skeptics will eat.
• And for those who just want it all? The Full Benguela Breakfast is basically a plate of morning greatest hits: buttery croissant, bacon, egg, mushrooms, tomatoes, and sausage. A symphony of salt, crunch, and satisfaction.

Available from 9:30 to noon on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays, the Moody Lagoon brunch is where lazy mornings meet excellent food—and no one has to choose between sweet and savoury (because, let’s be real, you’re ordering both). Book your table now for an incredible brunch experience close to Hermanus!
