What’s on at The Cellars-Hohenort Hotel

The Cellars Hohenhort Hotel

Deep in the heart of Constantia, overlooking award-winning gardens, and with Table Mountain in the background, The Cellars-Hohenort Hotel is steeped in historic charm and five-star elegance. Here the Greenhouse restaurant glows with candlelight on Valentine’s evening, and chefs have dialled up the romance on an elegant four-course dinner menu. An amuse bouche of caramelised miso cheesecake with salted chili lime mango segues to a choice of starters: poached prawn gunkan (a boat-shaped form of sushi) or a Saldanha oyster crème brûlée with watermelon salsa. For mains, choose between a black cherry-stuffed chicken and a dry-aged beef sirloin with pommes dauphine. Choosing between desserts is equally hard: strawberry and matcha opera cake or dark chocolate torte with coffee coconut frangipane… order one of each and share in the spirit of the day.

Good to know There is an alternative vegetarian menu too.
