Mount Nelson Dining
THE RED ROOM BY CHEFS WAREHOUSE
Inspired by Chef Liam Tomlin's journeys, The Red Room is an ode to Asia's irresistible flavors. Enter through an exclusive side entrance and down an evocatively lit stairway, entering a forgotten room shielded from time. Steaming baskets of dim sum and fragrant bowls of rice gem the rotating tables as mixologists create crystalline cocktails. Opt for small plates in the opulent bar, or a sharing plate feast in the sumptuous dining room. The stage is set for Cape Town's best Pan-Asian dining experience.
