About Winchester Mansions Hotel

Dining
A “sundowner” is a drink taken at sundown, preferably whilst watching the sun slowly disappearing in the Atlantic Ocean. There are only a few places in Cape Town where one can do that in style and the terrace of Harveys at Winchester Mansions is one of them. Bistro by day and restaurant by night, Harveys offers guests South African cuisine with a European twist.
No secret to the locals, the Winchester Mansions’ Sunday Jazz Brunch is an absolute must. Throughout the year, renowned local and international jazz artists perform at the brunch, in summer in the Mediterranean setting of the courtyard. Enjoy a glass of fine sparkling wine on arrival, a complimentary Sunday newspaper and a cosmopolitan brunch buffet. Also, if you have a chance, join us for the monthly Grapes Gourmet and Gallery evening where Harveys welcomes food, wine and art lovers.
