Fine dining that’s out of this world

Indulge in a feast of seasonal specialities at the Lord Nelson Restaurant, from summer salads to winter beef wellington. Take time over an afternoon tea layered with tempting sandwiches and sweets. Or go light with delicious poolside snacks at Oasis Bistro. Boasting some of the best restaurants and bars in Cape Town, a stay at Belmond Mount Nelson Hotel is foodie heaven.

Lord Nelson Restaurant

Lord Nelson Restaurant

Brimming with history, what was once the hotel’s writing room is now the stage for an unforgettable culinary sensation. Oak-panelled walls and an original bust of Admiral Nelson, carved from the timbers of the HMS Victory, add to the timeless appeal.

In contrast, Chef Rudi Liebenberg’s fresh and vibrant menus are avant-garde. The best local ingredients and traditional recipes are transformed into daringly modern dishes.

Open Monday–Saturday, 6:30–10:30pm
Closed on Sundays
