Dining

The glittering Planet Restaurant and Planet Bar are chic, contemporary spaces in which to enjoy out-of-this-world dishes and cocktails.

Planet Restaurant & Bar

Dining with the stars is guaranteed at Cape Town’s most stylish restaurant. Crystal balls grace the entrance and the décor includes a galaxy-themed carpet, planetary chandelier and twinkling ceilings. 

Matching the décor are Chef Rudi Liebenberg’s heavenly menus, journeys of gastronomic discovery featuring the freshest local ingredients. 

The unique, intimate atmosphere of the Planet Restaurant cellar is an ideal venue for a perfect private party. 

Oasis Bistro

Whether a hearty breakfast, lavish lunch or decadent dessert, let award-winning Chef Rudi Liebenberg escort you on a gastronomic adventure. ‪

Fresh and vibrant, this sun-splashed terrace is the perfect place to dine and enjoy a refreshing cocktail in the summer.‬‬ ‪

In the bright dining room we welcome guests and visitors alike to sample our delicious breakfasts all year round

Afternoon Tea

Enjoy delicate finger sandwiches filled with rare roast beef and rocket, smoked salmon, egg mayonnaise or cucumber. Follow with a delectable dark chocolate cake, lemon meringue and freshly baked scones with clotted cream and preserves.

Adding a special local flavour is a typical South African milk tart, called “melktert” in Afrikaans.

During the winter months you can also enjoy a selection of warm treats. Expect mushroom empanadas, tomato tarts and chicken pies.

The signature Mount Nelson Tea has been expertly blended from six teas: Darjeeling, Kenya, Assam, Keemun, Yunnan, Ceylon, and rose petals from our garden. In addition, we offer an array of leaf and flowering teas.

Both Morning and Afternoon Tea are served in the lounge, on the terrace or around the garden fountain.

Recreation
