This is by far one of the best restaurants in Johannesburg. It has so much elegance in terms of service; beautifully decorated venue; staff; the competence of the manager, Justin; the quality and presentation of food. Also a wonderful place to have exclusive events at for up to 40/45 people! We had such a special event there last night and the overall experience was worth 10 stars!
Absolutely , delectably, deliciously, impeccably awesome. From being greeted by the friendliest of hosts, to being given a tour of the warm cost homely environment , to the absolutely awesome 7 course dinner tasting menu, this is an experience one needs to explore. The menu is laid out like a teaser trailer to what becomes a blockbuster of enticing food that makes your palate sing course after course. The mushroom ice cream with the warm broth was a revelation. Definitely a 10 star dining experience in my book
We had dinner there last night and it was such a lovely evening. We were given a glass of bubbly on arrival and taken on a tour of the venue which is a nice touch. We had a set tasting menu and each course was delicious and beautifully presented. The service was outstanding and I can highly recommend an evening at NWC. I had gone out hoping that it would be lovely and it exceeded my expectations. Well done to the team there. You deliver a great experience.
Incredible evening - delish cuisine, amazing setting, and would-class service, absolutely wonderful evening, our new favorite restaurant 👌🏻♥️👌🏻
What a beautiful, relaxing space! We visited NCW as part of Restaurant Week (Autumn Edition).
On arrival, you're shown around their stunning venue while sipping a welcome drink (bubbly, of course!). You're then taken into the main dining area and seated for the 5 course dinner.
From the outset, each course, it's accompanying wine and the service are faultless. It was the most enjoyable evening we've had out in while!
We'll definitely be visiting NCW again.
This is a dining experience worth every cent. The beautiful decor is tasteful and eye catching, with sophisticated elegance. We were greeted by friendly staff with a glass of bubbly and given a tour. Each room held its own surprises and I’m happy to say we were really impressed.
Now the food. We chose the 10 course taster menu with wine paring. This was the launch of their Autumn seasonal menu and I can only compliment the heavenly flavours and exquisite plating. I won’t go into detail to much, as the menu does change often, but I’m a difficult person to please, and this gem of a restaurant delivers!! Even the wines were a perfect match for every dish. Don’t hesitate to spoil yourself. This is Michelin Star cuisine, ambience and service.

Wow what a fine dining experience that was. We were given a tasting menu voucher as a Christmas gift from family, and my partner and I thoroughly enjoyed the evening with the extremely knowledgeable and competent staff on duty last night.
The chef was not the senior in the restaurant, but my oh my, was his knowledge of food, and the interplay of ingredients, of a very high culinary standard.
An exciting part of the three tasting menus on offer, is the pairing of fine wines. As neither my dear lady and I drink alcohol, we gave that a miss... but the glassed in candlelit cellar looked well worth a visit.
The five course meal was an adventure... a tasting adventure of very high standards.
Had we so wished, we could have watched the chef at work in his beautifully appointed kitchen, but we chose to rather soak up the ambience, listening to the tinkling fountain in the softly lit courtyard.
The menus, and each course, is an artwork in their own creation, and deserving of a far more detailed review.
The enjoyable evening ended with a delish cuppacino in one of the comfy lounges.
Really worth a visit is Nicolas Willemse's fine dining restaurant, at NCW Melville.

Excellent service & fabulous food. This is real gem & can be compared to some of the best country wide in term of service & cuisine. Awesome fine dining experience.
A beautiful space, dynamic and contemporary. Great service, attentive and engaging. The food is tasty and delicious. We really enjoyed our day here and I would highly recommend it!
Stylish sophisticated and spacious. Conversation encouraging quietness. Each course a surprisingly refreshing look on life. Exquisitely presented. Leave space for the 3 d desert experience. As good as any in the cApe- better than most.
I was so so impressed with this place. Went as part of restaurant weeks spring edition. From the first greeting at the door with someone showing you the venue, to the detailed description of each dish served, the service was impeccable! The tasting menu starts with some home baked ciabatta and herb bread...both were good. The amuse bouche was dramatic in delivery. I thought lay rnjoyed the tomato soup and venison dish. The Waldorf salad and green brûlée were divine. I am actually thinking of booking this place for my next birthday party!!!
We attended a restaurant week lunch at NCW.
Greeted by a glass of bubbly.
Given a tour through this classic meets contemporary restaurant which boasts a wine cellar, private dining room, private lounge and main restaurant.
On Sunday they offer a FEAST!
And was it a feast.
Amuse Bouche, soup, feast to table and dessert.
The feast to table was incredibly generous and could have served 4.
There was something for every pallet!
Chicken, pasta , lamb, veg etc etc.
The winner was the dessert!
A new style mimosa with frozen citrus and the most light and fluffy soufflé with a salted caramel ice cream.
This feast was only priced at R395 which is exceptional value for money given the quality, portions and service!
I can recommend the Sunday feast to anyone!
Real hearty food meets fine dining! Brilliant!
NCW Restaurant exceeded my expectations in every way. The food was exquisitely prepared, offering a delightful fusion of flavors that left my taste buds dancing with joy. The impeccable service and charming ambiance made for an unforgettable dining experience.
I absolutely enjoyed myself. The food was delicious, and the service was professional, efficient, and friendly. The atmosphere was exactly what I needed after a long day in the office. I'll definitely be back again.
It was my first time trying this restaurant out. I must say I did enjoy it, I enjoyed the venison pie. I will definitely come back!
An amazing meal. Small cozy and very romantic. The food was definitely Hicham cuisine, done very well. The only thing I missed was a wine pairing with each course. But otherwise it was very good.
I attended a book launch ("Sunflowers For My Lovers" by Zizipho Bam) which was held at NCW Restaurant in Melville. There was plenty of seating inside and outside the event space and the food and drinks were great.
Great restaurant food was good, will recommend anyone to go there. Five star treatment, waiters also friendly.
Good food, but incredibly slow service. It took about an hour per course. We were told it was the first day of a new menu, but that's no compensation for spending 4 hours at dinner.
The restaurant's delectable cuisine, combined with impeccable service and cozy atmosphere, made for an unforgettable dining experience.
Exceptional service! Out of this world food and ambiance! Had a 5 course meal, and all courses were well prepared and FLAWLESS!!!! WEll done
Went for their Sunday Feast. We were welcomed warmly and given a tour of the restaurant. There are many cosy nooks for soaking up sun and sipping on your drinks. The food is beautifully presented and the dining experience is a luxurious and intimate journey. Such a treat. Absolutely recommend!
