The Oasis restaurant, at the Belmond Mount Nelson, has re-opened for summer with a contemporary new look and fresh new menu. With its attractive flow from inside to out, and its extensive outdoor terrace overlooking the gorgeous gardens, Oasis is a true retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life on the hotel\u2019s doorstep.<\/p>\n

Lush Views<\/h4>\n

Enter the restaurant and you\u2019re immediately drawn to the vivid blue of the sparkling swimming pool and the lush greenery of the 300-year-old gardens.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A third attraction vies for your attention: a dramatic, hand-painted mural emblazoned over an entire wall of the restaurant.<\/p>\n

The work, by artist Kim Black, captures views of Signal Hill, mirroring the soft, smoky hues of the mountains and trees, the myriad colours of Cape flora and fauna and the hotel\u2019s striking, iconic palms.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kim wanted to convey the feeling of the word \u2018oasis\u2019 \u2013 luxuriant beauty combined with a sense of escape \u2013 encapsulating the ambience\u00a0of the restaurant.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The eye-catching revamp also includes features such as pressed crystal glass chandeliers in a petticoat design, smart herringbone oak flooring and deeply comfortable Lloyd Loom-style chairs.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Inspired lunches<\/h4>\n

Executive Chef\u00a0Rudi\u00a0Liebenberg\u00a0and Oasis Chef\u00a0Llewelyn\u00a0Hurter have pulled out all the stops to create an extraordinary menu, blending the best of Mediterranean and pan-African specialities.<\/p>\n

<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>\n

Choose from an extensive buffet of vibrant salads,\u00a0mezze, charcuterie, shellfish and choice South African cheeses.\u00a0Or opt for \u00e0 la\u00a0carte, selecting tender grilled meats or fish of the day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Discover an array of irresistible small plates, such as beef\u00a0kitfo\u00a0(Ethiopian steak\u00a0tartare),\u00a0Cape Malay bobotie bites, chargrilled octopus, seared ostrich with coriander, and crispy fried vetkoek\u00a0with\u00a0either biltong\u00a0or apricot jam and cheese.<\/p>\n

Delicious sauces,\u00a0tapenades\u00a0and p\u00e2t\u00e9s are all made in the hotel kitchens, as are the exceptional\u00a0artisan\u00a0breads<\/a> and pastries, with options including sourdough and rare grains.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Resistance may be futile when you view the dessert buffet, chockful of indulgences such as the hotel\u2019s legendary cheesecake,\u00a0pavlova, panna cotta and fruit tarts.<\/p>\n

Sunday Lunch Buffet and Carvery<\/h4>\n

The Sunday lunch buffet is an impressive affair, with the addition of a carvery station serving succulent roast meats, tasty vegetable dishes, perfectly crisp roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding, topped off with Madagascan pepper sauce.<\/p>\n

<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>\n

There is also a sumptuous seafood station with prawns, tuna, oysters, mussels and smoked trout.<\/p>\n

Space to relax<\/h4>\n

Adding to the laid-back vibe is the much-loved Alvin Dyers Duo, delighting you with easy-listening Cape jazz classics.<\/p>\n

The relaxed atmosphere, inviting terrace and tempting wine and cocktail list make Oasis the perfect spot for a sunny, welcoming bite.<\/p>\n
