My husband and I came here on our honeymoon and had the 9 course tasting menu with the wine pairing. We extensively researched which restaurants to eat at and made reservations at what are all considered top South African restaurants and in spite of them all being amazing, La Colombe was hands down the best restaurant we ate at. My husband and I live in New York City and have done the tastings at many of the city’s best restaurants. The tasting menu here was the best we have ever had anywhere. The restaurant itself was beautiful, our server Dale was wonderful, and the food was really really good while being inventive at the same time. Cannot recommend enough!

My wife and I looked forward to our date night at the Greenhouse last week. We arrived with high expectations and all our expectations were surpassed. The staff was knowledgeable about the dishes, attentive and extremely friendly. The food, spectacular in both presentation and taste – every dish had at least one element that was out of this world, which made it very difficult for my wife and I to choose a favourite. A “Thanks for coming” dish was also served after our meal “paired with” a living tree, a mopani branch and petrified wood, which was a very nice touch and a good way to end of our night.
