The Leopard

Had an amazing, sophisticated experience at the Leopard bar with very friendly attentive staff. The waiters are well trained and allows you your privacy when enjoying your time. We were well informed by the different Gins they serve and it was a very pleasant experience after a long day of sight seeing.

The view of this place alone makes it worth going. Simply beautiful. Thankfully the service and food closely matches up to the scenery.<br/ <br/ Loved the olives, nuts and corn nibbles given once seated.<br/ <br/ We had a mini burger platter to share. 2 mini chicken, lamb and beef burgers on pumpkin seed and oat buns. And a loadful of shinny fries with chilli mayo. I was a bit apprehensive as it was plain burgers, no additions like cheese or bacon etc and no sauce neither. But I'm very glad it came as it did. The patties were so tasty, juicy nothing was needed to enhance it.<br/ <br/ I had the pink motjito, because I am a girl, it was gorgeous. If it wasn't our plan to stop somewhere else on our way back I'd have had another.<br/ <br/ From the entrance guy at the parking, doormen to the waiter even the elevator pressing guy-very welcoming and friendly.<br/ <br/ Azure is next for dinner<br/ <br/

The view at this place is simply breathtaking, I enjoyed the baked cheesecake and creme brûlée.The presentation was beautiful and it tasted even better, the drinks were refreshing while the service was polite and professional as expected at a five star establishment.My overall experience was pleasant and I would definitely recommend this spot on a lovely summers day..

Dogs only allowed on a 'knees to nose ' basis...<br/ <br/ We were very excited to visit the Leopard Bar on Sunday 15th April 2018, especially as we 'd heard it was pet friendly. As it turned out, only dogs that come up to knee height are allowed (definitely excludes our Newfoundland). Hence we arrived there dogless, but not without our 87 year old grandmother who was thrilled to be joining us for 'tea by the sea '.<br/ <br/ We arrived to a warm and friendly greeting from the downstairs staff and were escorted to the lift for the third floor. The doors opened to reveal the modern and eclectic Leopard Bar with panoramic views over the Atlantic Ocean. We were met by the manager and led to our table (pre booking is recommended) which was in a cosy corner of the room, except the aircon was on full blast and seemed to be turned on and off during the afternoon so it ranged from being ice cold to warm and stuffy.<br/ <br/ We were pleased to discover that they have created a 'bottomless ' ' policy to their tea which meant we could order as many teas and coffees from the menu as we wished, as well as top up with any food from the tier stand. We had pre ordered 3 normal high teas and 1 vegan high tea (24 hour pre order required) these are apparently made fresh to order so there is a waiting period of about 20 minutes from the time of order. The food was delicious the normal tea had sandwiches with fillings such as cream cheese egg, smoked salmon, beef, cheese tomato, and creamy chicken. The sweet treats included cheesecakes, chocolate mousse, chocolate brownies, chocolate cake, and scones and cream. The vegan display was also delicious (details in picture).<br/ <br/ A bit pricey, but it is bottomless and well worth the splurge for a rare or special occasion because of the whole package. Average sized dog unfriendly.

One can one always expect the best service from a 5-star hotel ... the hotel's location is itself special as it's tucked between the ocean and the twelve apostles (the rocky hills above the hotel from where the hotel derives its name) <br/ <br/ It's best enjoyed on sunny summer days, but any time when the sun is out will do! the views are breathtaking, the staff absolutely incredible and helpful... at some point we had been sitting in the sun for a while and I realized I didn't have sunscreen on, our waitress overheard me and actually offered to arrange for it to be provided incredible! I was pleasantly surprised as you can imagine <br/ <br/ We didn't have anything to eat, we simply wanted to enjoy a sunset over the ocean... and enjoy we did as we sipped our Aperol spritz with bar snacks and then as the sun set our tea <br/ <br/ *TIP: Highly recommended, esp if it's sunny and warm (try find seating on the balcony where we were)<br/ <br/ You don't need to call per se... we arrived on whim after lunch in Hout Bay, and decided to pop in... needless to say we still received the 5-star treatment one would imagine guests would be afforded
