The Home of Good
Food since 1900
The food is
perhaps the hotel’s greatest claim to fame.
The intimate
dining room offers an excellent table d'hote menu with good
wholesome home cooking. The extensive menu features traditional
dishes while an a-la-carte menu is also available and the wine
cellar is generously stocked with a wide selection of wines to cater
for every palate.
The food
tends to the traditional and is both delicious and plentiful. Bread
is freshly baked on the premises. Recipes have been handed down from
cook to cook as jealously guarded secrets. The reputation of the
pickled fish, for example, has even spread overseas.
In his book
“In Search of South Africa”, the British writer H.V. Morton was
moved to mention Albertinia as a result of a meal at the hotel:
“…and we plunged into that riot of eatables…”
In the days
when the mail ships used to stop at Mossel Bay passengers were often
transported to the hotel for a dinner.
Our pub
lunches and our shady tea garden offer a lighter alternative to
travellers.
