Dinning
The Metropole's 90 seater restaurant, Veranda, offers uninterrupted views of Long Street. The seriously romantic interior utilises clean lines, juxtaposed with contrasting colours. Head chef Roy Thomson describes the menu as "comfort food with a twist", adding "I love peasant food from around the world - add a bit of glamour and you have a meal fit for a king or queen." The menu is well balanced, hearty and unpretentious and consists of signature dishes such as smoked salmon trout with crème fraiche and caviar, duck bobotie, guinea fowl pie and beer battered hake and chips. (Maximum seating capacity: 90 people.)

The reddish illumination and modern yet warm styling oozes a sexy, intimate and decadent atmosphere without being overly pretentious.
