The President Hotel in Cape Town is about to unveil its brand new Botany Café, a contemporary grab-and-go haven offering a fresh, healthy, and sustainably sourced dining experience for Bantry Bay. Opening its doors in July, Botany Café promises to be a refreshing poolside retreat for locals and visitors alike.
Inspired by History, Focused on Freshness
The name Botany Café draws inspiration from the area’s historical roots. Formerly known as Botany Bay, Bantry Bay was once home to a botanical garden dedicated to medicinal herbs in the early 1800s. This connection to fresh, local ingredients is reflected in the café’s core mission: using seasonal produce to create delicious and healthy dishes.
A Culinary Experience Crafted with Passion
Sergio Adams, the President Hotel’s head chef and curator of flavors, leads the talented team at Botany Café. Their passion for creating wholesome meals, coupled with a dedication to sustainability, perfectly aligns with the café’s vision.
The menu is a dynamic celebration of freshness, featuring daily offerings that showcase the very best seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. This ever-evolving approach ensures a unique and delightful experience with every visit, reflecting the hotel’s commitment to innovation and quality.
“We see Botany Café becoming a popular poolside deli, offering fresh, sustainably sourced, and healthy meals that cater to everyone’s taste,” says Sergio.
A Menu Bursting with Flavor
Botany Café’s menu is designed to tantalize taste buds with a focus on wholesome, plant-forward dishes. Guests can choose from five daily seasonal salads, perfect for a light lunch or takeaway option. Additionally, five varieties of sandwiches crafted with The Woodstock Bakery’s slow-fermented, hand-shaped bread using superior stone-ground flour will be available daily.
For those seeking heartier options, the menu boasts a delightful selection of daily favorites, including tarts, terrines, sausages, kebabs, fritters, stuffed pitas, and eggplant roll-ups. And to satisfy any sweet tooth, Botany Café offers an array of delectable desserts like brownies, fudge, cheesecakes, donuts, tarts, and cakes.
A selection of freshly squeezed juices, smoothies, teas, and coffees complements the food menu, providing a refreshing drink option any time of day.
