		<description><![CDATA[Make this Christmas Dinner the most sumptuous ever with a lavish six-course festive meal conceived and prepared by Executive Chef Paul Nash of The Conservatory at The Cellars-Hohenort in Constantia, Cape Town. The jewel of the Constantia Valley, The Cellars-Hohenort is an impeccably appointed five-star hotel located in a majestic heritage building and surrounded by 9 acres of award-winning gardens. The Conservatory offers panoramic views out onto the renowned grounds of the hotel, which, combined with the tasteful interior design and fine food, all serve to enhance the experience. It’s an incredible setting with a delectable menu – what better for your festivities? Whether you’re in Cape Town on holiday, staying at the hotel, or a resident Capetonian who prefers to enjoy Christmas in gourmet style rather than slave away in the kitchen for days, The Conservatory is a welcoming, family-friendly destination for a memorable festive celebration. Chef Paul has taken the yuletide spirit to heart and opens the meal with a themed Christmas cocktail. The clear Christmas Turkey consommé is a contemporary play on the traditional bird; as is the classic gammon terrine, which is accompanied by roasted apple and pear. Artisan breads and butters round off the starters. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s the perfect time for South Africans to explore their own turf. With amazing variety, unmatched scenery, service-level excellence and an unlimited array of activities and excursions on our doorstep, it’s easy to make a case for a staycation on our incredible home soil. The Cellars-Hohenort is located in arguably one of Cape Town, and South Africa’s most idyllic locations. A picturesque suburb, conducive to total escape, but only 15 minutes from the city centre, Constantia is venerated for its beautiful scenery, historical properties and access to a multitude of lifestyle and leisure pursuits. The oldest wine region in the country, the Constantia Wine Valley boasts some of South Africa’s most impressive and storied estates – whose grounds, wineries and eateries match up to their legacy in years. With no less than five exquisite options in close proximity to The Cellars-Hohenort (namely , , , and ) you’ll have your pick for cellar visits and tastings. The Cellars-Hohenort also grows its own vines and features a region-centric wine list. And the culinary offering in the area equals that of the wine.

		<description><![CDATA[Now that local travel bans have lifted, and the weather is getting warmer, South Africans are returning to restaurants and the great outdoors in increasing numbers. One way to combine both of these enjoyable leisure pursuits, while simultaneously managing to social distance with ease, is to go on a luxury picnic that combines a beautiful setting with a basket brimming over with delectable treats and eats that have been prepared and packed especially for you. It’s all the pleasure, with none of the fuss. While Cape Town abounds with scenic splendor, there are not many destinations where you can enjoy a hosted picnic in safe and inspiring surroundings, with secure on-site parking while you relax. The beautiful, historic Cellars-Hohenort hotel in Constantia is one such rare destination – a place that will make you feel like a VIP in your own backyard. The hotel offers made-to-order picnics, created in the hotel’s inimitable five-star style, that are set against the verdant backdrop of its extraordinary, multiple award-winning Hohenort gardens. Once you’ve collected your basket, you can wander through the expansive grounds and choose where you’d like to soak in the Spring sunshine and the views of Constantia Valley and the Table [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We were recently treated to a sumptuous High Tea at The Cellars-Hohenort that fulfilled every secret cream bun and finger sandwich fantasy we may have been harbouring. After emitting no small sigh of delight and sinking down into an oversized couch in front of a roaring fireplace, we were promptly offered a choice of bubbly, coffee or tea.  Bubbly is indeed a decadent way to start the afternoon’s proceedings! But tea is obviously the appropriate default option and is selected from a range of menu options featuring classics and contemporary tea blends. The selection is so wide it is almost indecision-inducing. But what’s the rush? Take the time to decide what to imbibe. It’s High Tea, after all. The experience needn’t be fast-tracked.  While fastening on your choice of beverage, savour the hotel’s tastefully traditional décor with a contemporary twist that enlivens the historic bones of a building that dates back to the time of Simon van der Stel. There are fresh flowers in stately floral arrangements on the interior and views onto the award-winning gardens that surround the hotel.  The wait staff are attentive in their administrations and the atmosphere is warm and accessible yet exudes an air of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After your host has ushered you inside, a feast of accolades and trophies welcomes you from the walls of the entrance before you are shown to your table. The Greenhouse boasts a decade’s worth of Eat Out Top 10 placements and a plethora of other acknowledgements. In particular, a large round plaque catches the eye: a gourmet award crediting the restaurant for serving cuisine that’s worthy of a flight. And indeed, it must be so, because snippets of caught conversation reveal the full-house of patrons to be Spanish, German, Swedish, American… and they’re all putting paid to Cape Town’s reputation as a global gourmet capital by dining at the establishment currently ranked 6 th in the country. There’s a smattering of loyal South Africans too, and even the President has been known to make Greenhouse his dining destination of choice. When a table is available, that is. The restaurant is not large, and is full most nights, up to two months ahead of time for dinner, but you may get lucky over a lunchtime on Fridays and Saturdays. We were fortunate to secure a table for two on a Friday evening – any night in the Greenhouse is a fortunate one – and as expected, the restaurant was fully booked. We were seated in the attractive glass-covered [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Housed in a beautiful Victorian building in the heart of the Southern Suburbs, Carne Constantia is another gem in the crown of master Italian chef, Giorgio Nava. The restaurant is set in a beautiful garden, where fresh herbs and seasonal produce are harvested for the restaurant’s flavoursome dishes – making it the perfect venue for a leisurely lunch. Like its sister restaurants in Cape Town’s legal district and trendy Kloof Street, Carne Constantia specialises in classic Italian faire including a selection of fresh salads and antipastis, delicately seasoned mains, and homemade pastas. The restaurant incorporates all of the elements which have become synonymous with the acclaimed Carne SA brand – with hints of Carne’s signature deep red, grey and wood décor – while the rich heritage of the building and the aromatic garden setting create a relaxed atmosphere to while away the afternoon. “Each of our branches has its unique characteristics but they all offer the same quality and thoughtfully prepared dishes,” says owner Giorgio Nava. “What I love most about Carne Constantia is how the location, with its leafy green streets and mountains in the distance, lends itself to a long lunch with friends or a relaxed business meeting [...]]]></description>
