Winehouse

Winehouse, at Ten Bompas Hotel serves fine French inspired food, using only the freshest ingredients with herbs and vegetables sourced from the hotel's organic gardens. Johannes de Bruijn heads up the kitchen and food is served indoors, on the terrace and

We had a great lunch. Starters were various tasters, then mains- a choice of Duck confit, line-fish or beef tournedos, all came with various side orders, everybody commented on a great experience, service was attentive and friendly. Great Wine selection as well. Cheese platter was Tops !. Will be back soon.Hi Rainold, thank you so much for this wonderful review. Great to have you visit us! We are pleased that the food and service was up to standard! Warmest regards, Christoff and Peter and of course the rest of the team who actually make it happen.

The Foundry

Reviewed By Stefano P

I used to go to Foundry but they changed the food menu.It’s still a nice pub with great atmosphere, good choice of beers and drinks but unfortunately they changed the food menu. While before was a great place for a dinner (I still remember the lamb shank + ostrich fillet), it now serves more tapas e finger food dishes with a relatively small option of main courses.

As we entered Piccolo Mondo, we were welcomed by almost every front line staff member. So nice to see so many happy staff member at 6:30am. We loved the variety of food on display for breakfast buffet. They have fresh fruit, cereals with yoghurts, juices, tea or coffees, cold meats, cheeses, Asian food, cooked breakfast. My husband and I were very impressed with the customer service we received. Dear brettnjess, Thank you for your wonderful review on TripAdvisor. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your visit. We are happy to hear you thoroughly enjoyed our delicious breakfast offering and hope to welcome you back again very soon for one of our other signature experiences. I would highly recommend our Michelangelo High Tea.Kind regards, The Piccolo Mondo Management Team

Nice atmosphere and good service (even if it was almost empty).We order few dim sum but the quality wasn’t good.The salmon was really tasty but small portions and overpriced.The deserts was good but nothing special If I’ll go again I’ll try the sushi.For 3 dim sum, 1 salmon, 1 water and 2 deserts we paid 700 rand.A bit overpriced

Reviewed By Andrea G

Found the restaurant on google and based on the website, we decided to celebrate birthday's. Being from Durban, the restaurant was slightly difficult to find based on WAZE. Parking is very inconvenient as we had to walk in heels to the restaurant which was a good walk away. Upon the elevator doors opening, the restaurant is beautiful, well lit and spacious. we where escorted to our table and asked immediately to place our drink orders. Once the drinks arrived we where asked to place our orders. the waiter insisted we place our starters and mains at the same time. We asked the waiter for his suggestions and ironically he pushed the most expensive meals down our throat, R900 for a steak sheesh dairy cow or not that is a bit much! However we managed to order what WE wanted. The prawn and avo starter is absolutely amazing and is a must try, for my main i had the sirloin steak, was not the greatest but was good. The dessert menu then came, and i had to remind the waiter that we where celebrating two birthdays'. I made a reservation and sent a follow up email to confirm this. I was a bit annoyed with having to remind the waiter that we were celebrating a birthday in front of the people who where celebrating their birthdays. We received ice cream with a card. We also had the ice cream cookie, nothing extraordinary, but the cinnamon meringue is amazing.Visit for the experience, and Instagram photo but nothing would really make me want to return.

A stalwart of the Rosebank scene. I've visited here on many occasions while visiting Joburg. Good mixed menu of burger/salad/grill type options, in a buzzy setting at the heart of the mall. A classic brunch spot too and great for people watching. Service always friendly, but can be a little slow, especially when busy.

Creative menu that will satisfy any foodie, making use of seasonal/local ingredients, presented beautifully by a chef who obviously takes pride in his work. He made a point of visiting our table when we arrived. We stayed at the hotel and liked the food so much we ate at the restaurant every night rather than venturing out. We couldn't imagine finding better elsewhere!Dear gmw725, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. It's lovely reading how you enjoyed your time and Clico and we proud to hear how you enjoyed the meals and that you got to meet our Chef. Who is indeed a very creative chef. We look forward to having you back with us real soon. Kind RegardsJaco Wheeler
