Description:
THE BLADES RESTAURANT, seating up to 150 guests, is open to non hotel residents.

Our chefs have created an exclusive menu with a small selection of signature dishes. You will find a selection that pleases all palates. Our success lies in the simplicity of our cuisine. All our dishes are lovingly prepared, using only the freshest of ingredients. Whenever possible we use organic herbs and vegetables grown in our own gardens at THE BLADES.

Guests can enjoy a hand –picked selection of wines, to accommodate all budgets.

Meals can be savoured inside our elegant restaurant or Alfresco on the lush green lawns, on the water’s edge.

Our timber deck, over-looking the dam, provides the perfect setting to sample a champagne cocktail or just relax on our imported, woven couches. Both savoury and sweet snacks, as well as light lunches are served throughout the day.

In winter, snacks and Gluehwein can be sipped by the warm log fire in our cosy lounge.

Afternoon high-teas can be served on request and can turn kitchen teas, baby showers and the likes into pure indulgence.


Head chef: Joe Owen

Signature dish: Beef Fillet
Beef Fillet dressed with Indonesian Soy and ginger dressing.

Meal with a view, 22 Mar 2011
Reviewer: Kirsten (Adventurousness: What is the chef's special today?)

Comments: What a divine new venue!!! It is about time that there is a place not too far from Jo'burg yet out of the hustle and bustle of city life.

The scenery was amazing, I got to sit on the deck and enjoy the riverside view while I enjoyed a glass of wine.
The food was truly delicious. Just good wholesome food.

I cannot wait to try a picnic at this venue, not to mention booking in for a romantic weekend at the hotel.
I will definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends.
