Planet Bar and Restaurant

Amazing experience at the Mount Nelson hotel. Extremely friendly staff, couldn't help enough. Very pleasant and helpful. WiFi was good. Usual Ruckus performance. The network could be a lot more secure, but otherwise, it was okay. Food was out of this world. I actually can't say I've ever had a platter like that before. I think the food was delicious, definitely worth coming a second time for. Tea was freshly poured. The hotel had over 40 flavorful teas to choose from. Presentation of everything was great, loved the glassware used. Live piano players made the atmosphere extremely relaxing. An overall pleasant, warming and inviting environment. From the door to the table, everything was clean. A remarkably sanitary building, even the bathrooms were spotless. Highly recommended for a visitor staying overnight, or a local having launch/ afternoon tea.

Classy and classic bar that serves up top notch cocktails and sophisticated wines. The verandah is a glorious piece of tranquility in the middle of the city. It does cater to the well heeled but it is not too expensive. Pop in and enjoy the whiff of a time gone by.

Food is great except the fish that is slightly dry. Service is excellent especially the waiting staff.

Love the ambiance, setting is perfect various seating options, beautiful decor home away from home, the atmosphere is amazing, friendly staff and wonderful fast service, talk about attending to all your requirements a total 10, Food is prepared with love, finesse, creativity and art all in a plate, dessert is a must, a total must. For an exclusive treat, book at the chef's table for an unforgettable experience, I will definitely be back, I also recommend the champagne breakfast among the endless delicious edibles enjoy some fresh oysters with a glass of bubbly, wow I can write a book lol, for more visit my Instagram page for the full video I will upload it soon @ttefood4u after breakfast take a stroll through the garden absolutely enchanting.

Great selections of cocktails and teas. Very friendly and helpfully staff.

Make sure you visit this place for drinks when in Cape Town! Very classy and beautiful place.

A beautiful interior awaits as you enter the foyer through the revolving door. Step back in time to an era where elegance was the only way. The cosy bar sits on your left with a fire place for winter's evenings. Walk through the conservatory to the outside terrace and enjoy a glass of wine while breathing in the scents of the garden. Some menu options will ensure you don't go hungry. Alternatively ask for a table at the restaurant adjacent to the bar.

My review is for the bar only This restaurant and bar totally lives up to its name and the planetary theme is continued throughout the decor including the beautiful mobile of the planets of the solar system hanging in the center of the bar. It's the kind of cool, cozy space you'd want to meet a colleague after work or a small group of friends after work for a drink and a catch up. The cocktails are their specialty, so I tried the "perfect lady" and the "summer passion" and enjoyed each very much.

Rich beiges, thick carpets, lush furnishings, warming fireplace, glossy bar counter, quirky decor. The planet bar is a classy but cosy space. We had the winter 2019 option of Cheese fondue for two, and it was devine!

It was one of the nicest places for afternoon tea in Cape Town they have lovely seating outdoors and they also have vegan option. You have to make reservations in advance.
