The ground-floor dining room honours the four South African Nobel Peace Prize winners – Chief Albert Luthuli, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, President FW de Klerk and President Nelson Mandela, whose specially commissioned portraits hand on its walls, as do those of former Cape prime ministers John X Merriman and Cecil Rhodes, and the famous British High Commissioner to South Africa, Lord Alfred Milner.
The Nobel Laureate main dining room is open for lunch and dinner and offers the guest both table d’hote and a la carte menus which rank among the best in Cape Town. The wine list includes a comprehensive selection of the Cape’s finest estate, sparking, white and red wines,
ports, brandies and other liquors. As meals and beverages are subsidised by the club, prices are highly competitive and reasonable. In the evenings the restaurant is open to the public, although members and theirs guests enjoy a considerable discount on all menu prices.
In addition, two private dining rooms, the Smuts Room and the VOC Room, are available for private functions or meetings. The dining table in the Smuts Room is that around which Field-Marshall Jan Smut’s cabinet composed the parliamentary motion that took South Africa into World War II.
