The 90-plus seating restaurant includes an outdoor terrace, spacious indoor area, the Alumni Cocktail Bar and Coffee Lounge and the restaurant itself. The main attraction here is the show kitchen sponsored by the Hospitality Property Fund, where guests can view the brigade of chefs preparing food in unison.
Designed to develop the students' culinary repertoire, the menu focuses on fresh and seasonal food and features a balance between robust and sophisticated dishes.
Whether in their first, second or third year of studies, each student at the school spends time at the restaurant gaining essential expertise for their chosen hospitality direction. From front-of-house skills development to professional food preparation and floor work, students are given the opportunity to practise what they learn in lectures in an authentic environment.
Many of the permanent staff are alumni and they provide the students with invaluable mentorship in their day-to-day dealings with customers and the running of the restaurant.
"Our students excel all over the world thanks to the hands-on experience they receive both in their time at our school and when we place them for their practical semesters. By the time they leave their skills are so polished that they are sought after by some of the most prestigious restaurants, hotels and lodges around South Africa and further afield," says Alan Romburgh, principal of the Cape Town Hotel School.
