It was our wedding anniversary so we thought we would treat ourselves to a fine dining experience in Cape Town. We were not disappointed. The dining room is spectacular. We decided to have the five course Journey Menu which was only 320 Rand per person and an extra 250 to pair with wines. Each course was delicious and presented like... More

Try the fantastic game dishes such as ostrich, crocodile, springbok etc. Cooked to perfection. Arrive early and have a few drinks at the planet bar before dinner. The terrace is nice for an after dinner drink as well.

The food was nothing but amazing, and from the moment we arrived the service was beyond five star. As a vegetarian I was excited by the complete vegan menu available - I generally never feel this accommodated. The vegan options (like the pea risotto) was outstanding and the wine pairing was spot on. Great evening out. Only one slightly critical... More

We have been visiting Cape Town for about 10 years and like to stay at the Mount Nelson Hotel. Having such a wonderful restaurant as the Planet Restaurant on site really is great.

A quality restaurant in a quality hotel. Everything about this popular venue smacks of quality and professionalism. The food is sublime, the service impeccable and is real value for money. It is so good, so professional, so precise that the atmosphere suffers a little. It needs to relax a touch.

I cannot recommend it more highly. The food was superb, the staff attentive and friendly. The price was extremely good, so the restaurant should be on your must dos for Cape Town. We chose a very good and quite inexpensive red from Paarl which I would recommend as well.

Had business dinner with 6 others. Service was impeccable. Food top notch. Be sure into save room for dessert. The only area in which they could improve is to offer more wines by the glass.

What an amazing breakfast spread! Everything your heart desires is laid out on the buffet.. This is the best breakfast I have seen in years!
