Wine and DineThe Set Restaurant Our breakfast buffet, served daily from 06:30 to 10:30 gives new meaning to the phrase, being spoilt for choice. With over 100 items to choose from including home-made honeycomb, Nutella and meringue – our breakfast certainly looks at the morning meal and lives up to the ideal that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. From 12:30 to 14:30 daily you’re able to catch lighter meals in either The Set restaurant, next to the pool or in the Beach House Bar. Try a lamb burger with Humus and curried shoestring potatoes or the Guinness loaf with sugar-smoked chicken breast, tatsoi & Asian slaw. Whatever your poison – be sure to wash it down with some crisp, cold Sauvignon Blanc or a nice cold beer! If the streets out there seem daunting – stay in and join us for dinner from 18:30 to late. Our food is unpretentious and fresh, our service casual and efficient and our selection from the menu, enough to keep you entertained for a few days at least. Our summer menu offer highlights such as the sautéed lobster tail with egg noodles, the crispy roast duck breast with wok vegetables or the rack of lamb with onion marmalade. Vegetarians don’t fret; you too have plenty to choose from! In life, everyone needs something sweet to bring a warm smile to their face – with us – this comes in the form of the trio of brulé – passion fruit, coffee-chocolate and vanilla and lavender – that creamy texture with the crisp sugar coating on the top – you know you want it! If life has blessed you with a significant other, spend a romantic evening in one of our Moulin Rouge booths. Built around the idea of a romantic, more intimate alternative to dining in the main restaurant, the Moulin Rouge booths, clad in red velvet seats with romantic chandeliers will undoubtedly up your score in the romance department. With curtains that close the entrance to the booth and a subtle light that calls us when you require service – every aspect of this concept is designed around giving you quality time with your loved one! The rose petals on your table, excellent cuisine and a great wine together with some Lindt chocolate will round off an experience that you and your love will remember for some time to come. Out of AfricaThe "Out of Africa" lounge set is based on a Kenyan gentleman's cigar lounge and 'set' in the plains of the Masai Mara. The only smoking area in our public areas, the lounge serves as the start of many a morning with a “VJ” branded cappuccino or if you’re expecting a rough day – you might opt for the Lavazza espresso. Enjoy a cocktail in the early evening or a night cap and a cigar later at night. The Beach HouseDesigned and furnished in a typically Cape Cod style, the Beach House provides one with the opportunity of almost wanting to kick your shoes off, sitting back and forgetting about the worries of city living. With the right amount of imagination, the look and feel of the lounge will soon have you thinking that you’re sitting on the veranda of your beach house looking out over the ocean and sipping on a lazy cocktail as you watch the sun setting on yet another glorious South African day. With a selection of lighter meals and some very interesting milk-shakes and hot drinks – the Beach House serves the big thirst from early evening to late night! Conference facilitiesThough the Protea Hotel Victoria Junction has quite a playful and almost “pretend” quality in terms of the movie inspired themes – the conference rooms are functional and spacious allowing for any event to be hosted here successfully. One large venue subdivides to form two smaller venues, each with a capacity of seating about 90 – 100 GUESTS in cinema style. The combined room can easily host a dinner of up to 120 GUESTS while in schoolroom or lecture style, you would fit about the same number of delegates. With specialist audio visual technicians and our competent event STAFF at your side, arranging an event which can sometimes be quite trying, becomes a far more enjoyable and less challenging task Sports and recreationModelled on the Paramount Hotel in New York, the outside lap pool and deck area is designed for your ultimate comfort and relaxation where you can soak up the rays of the sun and relax with an ice-cold cocktail. Two Fitness and Sports clubs are situated in close proximity of the Hotel and offer sports enthusiasts' squash, tennis, swimming, bowls and state of the art gym equipment. ToursOur concierge service at reception is able to offer you a myriad of activity in and around the City of Cape Town. Whether you’re after more adventurous activities such as looking a shark in the eye or paragliding of the slopes of Table Mountain or whether you enjoy the more relaxed side of Cape Town and the Winelands – we arrange it all.
