This June, Contemporary dining and sensory cocktail craftsmanship converge at Mount Nelson, A Belmond Hotel, as the Cape Town property plays host to a collaboration between Amura by Ángel León and Anthm Cocktail Bar.

Celebrated for bringing Michelin-starred chef Ángel León’s marine-led philosophy to South Africa, Amura is deeply attuned to the natural world. Meanwhile, Anthm Cocktail Bar has earned a devoted following thanks to its precision-led cocktail philosophy by acclaimed mixologist Tetsuo Hasegawa, whose creations draw from Japanese bartending traditions, New York listening bar culture and the Cape’s rich botanical landscape. The two come together on 26 June for an evening where every element – from music and glassware to smoke, scent and citrus – forms part of the pairing experience.

Amura’s Chef’s Journey menu moves through dishes including plankton risotto, langoustine with mole and dry-aged seabass, each paired with Anthm’s considered cocktails, drawn from Japanese bartending tradition and Cape botanicals. A non-alcoholic pairing will also be available.

“Mount Nelson has always been a place where culture and hospitality naturally meet,” says Patrick Fisher, General Manager. “Welcoming Anthm to Amura allows us to bring together two distinct creative voices in Cape Town’s dining landscape. This collaboration reflects the spirit of The Nellie today: rooted in heritage while continually evolving the guest experience.”
