Montagu Hotel
Charlestons Restaurant
Join us at our sophisticated yet laidback Montagu restaurant, located at the heart of the Montagu Hotel. Serving breakfast and dinner, Charlestons offers a dining experience where comfort food meets classic elegance. In summer, relax outdoors on the terrace as the iceberg roses burst into bloom. In winter, cosy fireplaces invite you in for hearty South African cuisine, elegantly served.
Chef Gail Meyer reimagines familiar favourites with inspired seasonal twists, using fresh produce from the fertile Breede River valley. Expect flavourful dishes that feel both local and luxurious. Families are welcome, with a thoughtful kiddies’ menu available.
The best breakfast
in Montagu
Mornings at Charlestons are calm, focused, and quietly refined — where locals and travellers alike enjoy proper coffee, breakfast before meetings, or a relaxed start to the day.
Our breakfast includes eggs to order, warm buttery scones, and all the full English Breakfast favourites. A fresh cold buffet adds lighter touches with fruit, yoghurt, cold meats, and house-baked treats.
Whether you’re heading into a meeting or easing into your weekend, Charlestons offers a generous, effortless start to the day.
Dinner by
candlelight
As evening falls, Charlestons transforms. Candlelight, crisp linens, and silver cutlery set the scene for an elegant, relaxed dining experience.
Chef Gail Meyer’s seasonal menu blends South African flavours with finesse — creative, refined, and full of depth.
Start with a cocktail in the lounge or a fireside drink in winter, then pair your meal with a thoughtful selection of local wines. Whether you’re joining us for a quiet evening or celebrating something special, Charlestons offers warmth, style, and timeless charm.
