Tails are wagging as Cape Towns most pampered pooches gather for an afternoon of canine cuisine. The event features specially designed menus for both pups and parents. Canine guests will be treated to a selection including tail-wagging terrine with chicken liver and sauteed spinach and canine croquettes featuring salmon and sweet potato, while dessert promises strawberry banana bites, peanut butter pup cakes and more. Meanwhile, human guests can indulge in an equally impressive spread featuring gourmet offerings such as vol-au-vent with roasted mebos chicken and fermented peach aioli, melanzane tartlets, and finger sandwiches with smoked trout and lemon cream cheese. The sweet selection includes citrus cheesecake, traditional buttermilk scones and decadent milk tart eclairs. This event marks the beginning of the summer season and coincides with exciting developments at the hotel, including renovations to create a stunning new pool area that will further enhance the poolside experience for all guests.

    The high tea paint and sip experience we had at Botany was incredible. The staff were extremely attentive and professional and the food and ambience contributed to a very pleasant experience. I would highly recommend Botany and the President Hotel.
