The legendary Grill Room has been renowned for its fine dining and outstanding cuisine for almost 70 years.

Under the culinary leadership of the Executive Chef, the menu is an inspired combination of classic favourites, created by Bea Tollman, president and founder of the Red Carnation Hotel Collection, the restaurants Signature Dishes and contemporary creations, inspired by current global trends.

Classic Grill Room touches include the authentic Gueridon service, where food is prepared and presented at the individual diners table and the Classic 1920s Hors d Oeuvres Trolley, with an extensive range of 18 ‘old world appetizers.

With over 50 years of experience, Maitre‘d Hendry Pakiri, still presides over the elegant dining room.

    The service was extremely poor. We waited a long time before our order was taken, and even then, I had to request assistance. Our waiter was engaged in a lengthy conversation with another party and appeared to ignore us, which eventually required me to call the manager. The food arrived and was well presented; however, the mussels were of very poor quality and were discarded once we returned home. The remaining dishes were acceptable but lacked flavour. I have visited The Grill Room on several occasions in the past, all of which were positive experiences. Unfortunately, this visit fell well below the standard I have come to expect, and as a result, I will not be returning. Thank you.
