MINT

At the Taj Cape Town our dedication – to restoring historic landmarks – ensures that we work with significant elements, creating something that is both memorable and spectacular. Previously home to the Reserve Bank and Temple Chambers these properties have been restored to remarkable condition.

Housed in the old Reserve Bank building is Mint, the Taj Cape Town’s informal all-day dining restaurant.

Mint specialises in innovative international and local fare. Here diners can expect to find a menu that consistently tempts their senses, taste buds and appetites.

This intimate three-level restaurant has a spectacular open-plan show kitchen, allowing guests to glimpse cuisine being created. An impressive floor to ceiling wine wall, and a mezzanine level (perfect for private functions) add to the ambiance. While a ceiling-height sliding glass façade, opening onto St Georges Mall, allows Mint diners to experience outdoor dining under the trees.

Mint’s setting and tasteful modern décor create a relaxed atmosphere where every guest feels at home.

Mint’s a la carte menu and light meals are ideal for business lunches, dinners and celebrations.

BOMBAY BRASSERIE

Bombay Brasserie – modelled on its namesake in London – treats guests to the finest Indian specialty dining. Here mouth-watering meals are skilfully prepared using traditional ingredients, creating some of the finest Indian cuisine outside of India.

The Bombay Brasserie – located in the Cape Town city centre on Wale Street – is a combination of contemporary design and the elegant opulence of the old Reserve Bank. High ceilings create a sense of space, without detracting from the exclusivity and intimacy of the experience. The luxurious décor complements the existing heritage pieces and creates a rich atmosphere, a wonderful stage for the highly acclaimed menu.

At the Bombay Brasserie all dishes are a delicate melody of flavours, a taste of modern fine dining Indian fare.

TWANKEY

- Seafood, Champagne and Oyster Bar

Our dedication, to restoring historic landmarks, ensures that we work with significant existing elements to create something that is both memorable and spectacular.

This commitment, to preserving and improving on what already exists, is what the ground floor of the old Temple Chambers (BoE building) – in the Cape Town city centre – has experienced. It has been carefully restored and is now home to the Twankey Seafood, Champagne and Oyster Bar.

The Twankey Seafood, Champagne and Oyster Bar is a rare find. Here flowing champagne and local wine, the freshest seafood tapas, elegant décor and sublime local music tell a glamorous story.

The large street-side windows create a unique viewing room for The Twankey guests with glimpses of the Houses of Parliament and Table Mountain. While its interior, all plush comfortable décor and soulful music, effectively distinguishes it from the lively city bustle that lies street-side of the glass.

The Twankey’s design and central location gives diners the opportunity to indulge in delicious champagne and South African wine, delectable seafood tapas and other seafood delicacies, while watching authentic Cape Town pass them by from the best seats in the house.

The Twankey is open from mid-moring and serves light breakfast snacks, pastries and coffee. For lunch and dinner and everything inbetween speciality seafood dishes are served as tapas. An express lunch – a light selection of hot and cold seafood tapas – is also on offer.
