Whether you are looking for drinks or dining, mountain or ocean views or spectacular sunsets; The President Hotel in Bantry Bay is the place to be. Soak up the sunshine, breathe in the sea air and enjoy memorable experiences with friends or family at one of our many restaurants and bars.

The Islands Restaurant serves a bountiful breakfast buffet daily, featuring locally sourced and fresh ingredients – a commitment to sustainability evident in every bite. As the sun sets, the space becomes an elegant candle-lit dining experience with an impressive a la carte menu and wine pairing.

The Senate and Deck Bar, with their signature cocktails and impressive wine and tapas menu is popular amongst locals who frequent for the vibey atmosphere and live sports screenings, and of course, the spectacular sunsets over the Atlantic Ocean.

For a casual bite, The Base has a selection of gourmet woodfired pizzas and delicious pasta, while the newly refurbished Botany Café is famed for its fresh and healthy deli offering, best enjoyed as grab-and-go or sit down, featuring Bootlegger coffee, freshly squeezed juice, smoothies, pastries, cake and more.

Make sure you check out our renowned Sunday lunches and high tea offerings, family friendly pizza making as well as doggy high tea events.

Hope to see you at Cape Town's most loved hotel soon.

P.S. Our location is amazing, parking is free and service is friendly!
