The Azure Restaurant

Fine dining and freshly caught, local seafood with incredible views over the Atlantic Ocean.

A celebration of the oceans

Voted South Africa’s Best Hotel Restaurant at the 2020 World Culinary Awards, Azure Restaurant blends panoramic sea views with a menu of exceptional Cape cuisine. Our menu champions local ingredients, particularly local seafood and sustainably caught fish. Local delicacies such as mussels, crayfish, oysters, prawns, langoustines, and squid all take centre stage on our elegant, fine dining menu.

In a refined space of plush leather seating and starched white tablecloths, Executive Chef Christo Pretorius deftly combines international inspiration with home-grown flavours on a menu that celebrates seasonality, sustainability and the bountiful fresh produce of the Cape. Alongside Chef Christo’s contemporary plates, look forward to a selection of much-loved signature dishes created by Beatrice Tollman, the inspirational founder of The Red Carnation Hotel Collection.

Freshly caught

At Azure Restaurant, we meticulously source our seafood from local, sustainable fisheries, ensuring each dish reflects our commitment to freshness, quality, and environmental responsibility.
