Great cocktails but the stuff forgets about the customers

Really friendly staff, the pasta Nero was fantastic, and oysters incredibly fresh. The pollo parpadelle was on the salty side but the pasta itself was cooked to perfection.
A very stylish restaurant. It is has a sense of calmness to it. Beautiful decor as-well. I recommend this for anyone looking for a stylish, over the top experience. Both outdoor and indoor seating are great, if you are in the mood for a more fine dinning experience I recommend sitting inside.
I recommend the mojito, very delicious. Can’t wait to return
A little revamp has happened and the menu has also been updated. I've been here a number of times most recently August 2018 and was disappointed in their high tea and wouldn't recommend it at that point. However being here today, watching the management and staff being fully attentive and friendly, it seems things have changed.
Today, on a sunny Sunday we opted to sit on thr outsidr terrace overlooking the gardens and koi pond, beautiful setting.
The lunch menu differs from dinner but I was happily accommodated with the seafood risotto off the dinner menu. We started with some cocktails then moved on to wine. They have an excellent selection of wines and a number of by the glass options too. We shared the crispy calamari as a starter which was absolutely delicious served with goats cheese, olives, aioli and slightly blistered tomotoes. Mains I had the seafood risotto, which was loaded with shrimps, calamari topped with some mussels, crispy calamari and a queen prawn. It was a tomoto based risotto that hit all the right flavours. The kingklip fish and chips was average in comparison. Service was excellent. A nice way to spend a chilled lazy sunday afternoon.
I was particularly impressed that they would make almond milk cappuccinos as part of the high tea.
Each of the little treats to eat was beautifully decorated and tasty. Definitely not a generic “cucumber sandwich”.
Highly recommend high tea here.
Soothing ambience, not over crowded, amazing setting. Every thing about the food was droolworthy. The staff are very polite, warm and friendly. Wonderful experience!
We booked a large table here for my Father’s birthday and it was a fantastic evening with amazing service. Our waitress was so talented at remembering all of our orders and topping up our drinks all night. She was always around if we needed anything. It was tip-top service! There were too many of us for me to review all of the meals so I will only be reviewing two pescatarian meals. For starters I had the seared tuna and my sister ordered the salmon Ceviche, both were plated beautifully and had loads of flavour! Mains we both ordered the risotto, one Beetroot and Goats cheese and the other seafood. So delicious but the portion sizes were a bit large after starter. Not saying we didn’t end up finishing them the next day. Overall it was an incredible meal! Highly recommend booking here for a special occasion.
07.09.2018 I was invited to try out some of the new menu items at Medeo Restaurant @ The Palazzo, Montecasino along with a few other special people who i get to call friends. Prosecco on arrival and some delicious breads to get the evening going, so glad we came hungry 😋.
Executive Chef Gareth Jordaan took us through the menu and his thought process when developing these dishes.
Starters: "Salmon Ceviche" Ginger infused Salmon, Citrus Supréme, Liquor compressed Watermelon, toasted Ciabatta and Avocado. This was paired with the Altydgedacht Estate Sauvignon Blanc. Personally the fruit over powered the Salmon, and the wine paired well with the starter.
Mains: "Lamb Noisette" Grilled Artichoke, Shiitake Mushrooms, Mint Pea Mousse and Seared baby leaks. Mains were served with the Guardian Peak Merlot, which i am not a fan of. The Lamb was a bit tough to cut although i enjoyed the taste and also found the Mint a bit too strong in flavour in the Mousse.
Dessert: "Crème Brulée" Lavender Honeycomb, Shortbread Nuggets. Chef definitely outdid himself on this dish. It was absolutely faultless. Beautifully plated, tasty and satisfied all the senses.
Thank you to As Seen By Lloyd and the Montecasino team for a fantastic evening and great service. Always superb spending time with amazing people.

Was invited for a birthday celebration, high tea style .
We sat outside, we loved the ambience and service was great .
The dainties were fresh and refreshing, a big variety of the sweet goodies, only thing that was a bit dry was the baguette with cold meat , guessing it was in the oven for too long but it had a lot of flavour .
All in all , I was super impressed.
Dessert- Out of this world
Location- Beautiful
Service- Great
My overall experience was pleasant, would definitely opt for a meal next time!
Had a lovely dinner date on my birthday. Ambience was perfect - lovely romantic setting, table was well selected, private with a view.
Food was delicious albeit a bit expensive. One would go to this restaurant on a special occasion and not necessarily on a normal night out unless willing to fork out double the price they’d pay at a decent Mediterranean restaurant. Arrangements can be made for special occasions at a cost. It’s all about the experience though and the team takes pride in making it one of the best.
Our waiter was lovely and well versed on the menu and the specials. The manager popped by to check that we were enjoying the evening. In general, it was a pleasant evening.
The venue is also a wonderful place to take couple pics afterward.
The high tea was lovely. Would definitely visit again.
Absolutely loved this restaurant. It made me feel like I was a heiress visiting South Africa. Definitely try the high tea, it's worth it.
An absolute dream to experience. Everything from the ambience, the decor, the staff and of course the food was excellent. Lovely indoor and outdoor seating. I give the Medeo 10 out of 5 stars 👌

Opulent “ High Tea “ with style and steeped in old British tradition. Time for the family and friends to celebrate our mothers 80th birthday.

Stunning Hotel in the heart of Fourways. We enjoyed a romantic birthday dinner at the Medeo and some drinks at the bar near the foyer while the piano was being played. Our Table was decorated beautifully with rose petals and the staff were very friendly. The food was amazing but don't expect large portions - food is cuisine. They surprised us with a beautiful birthday cake after dinner which we enjoyed in the lounge Upstairs. It is on the expensive side but we had a wonderful experience that I can recommend for a fine dining experience.
Had a very pleasant dinner. The food was amazing and the service was excellent. Had lamb shank which was cooked to perfection. Beautiful setting with a lovely view. Really had a great evening. Would definitely go back again.
Fantastic service at Medeo. Richard attended to my guests to perfection - absolutely professional. Delicious food : Champaign pre drinks for my son’s matric ball.
The place swept me of my foot as soon as I entered it. To this the food was so good that I absolutely fell in love with this place.. recommended 100%
