Ghazal (participating restaurant)

Serving authentic dishes from the diverse Indian subcontinent, Ghazal’s menu will delight your senses and satisfy your taste buds. The selection of aromatic curries is expertly made from the finest Indian spices,  herbs, nuts and food colourings. There is also a wide choice of freshly prepared vegetarian dishes and Indian breads. Ghazal offers a mouth-watering Indian culinary journey – minus the heat and dust of India, of course!


The Grillhouse (participating restaurant)

Established in 1994, The Grillhouse has won many awards, including Leisure Options’ Best Independent   Steakhouse and a three-star rating from Rossouw’s Restaurants. Famous for its steaks and ribs, the restaurant also serves delicious salads, chicken, seafood and vegetarian dishes – and a legendary brownie and ice cream! With art deco furnishings and soft lighting reminiscent of a New York grillhouse, the venue houses private dining rooms and a sizeable wine cellar.


Keystone Bistro at The Marriott (participating restaurant)

Johannesburg Marriott Hotel Melrose Arch has an ideal central location from where to experience the city and its nearby attractions. One of two eateries in the hotel, Keystone Bistro is a stylish restaurant offering international cuisine with South African flair and a carefully curated wine list served by a discerning sommelier. Natural light flows through floor-to-ceiling bay windows and bounces off the double-volume ceilings throughout the space.


Rodizio (serving welcome canapes at event registration)

Rodizio Brazilian Grill and Tapas brings a taste of Brazil to Melrose Arch. The tropical feel invites the fun vibe of Fiesta Friday’s and Salsa Saturdays accompanied by live entertainment and a cocktail list that won’t disappoint. Enjoy their laidback weekday dining is also a must for a quieter dinner or celebration.

 

Grande Provence (wine partner)

Sitting in the magnificent Franschhoek Valley in South Africa’s Western Cape, her lush vines spread across 47-acres with gentle vistas over the valley floor, with the rugged mountains beyond. This is heartland South African wine country at its very finest. We are proud to have Grande Provence as our official wine partner for this event.
