"food is about giving, and the act of cooking is a gift from the cook to the diner"
chef patron, philippe wagenfuhrer
roots gourmet restaurant is renowned as one of Johannesburg’s top fine dining restaurants. Indulge in delectable dishes inspired by French, African and Asian influences. Philippe and his team create new menus daily. Dinner is six-course, lunch four-course and breakfasts four- course (unless you're in a hurry!). Gourmet dishes are served with wine teasers to compliment each dish. Our cellar boasts wines handpicked from top South African wine estates. Five-course Saturday brunches & six- course Sunday lunches are highly popular and reservations are essential to avoid any disappointment.
Sharing exquisite food and wine inside roots, or al fresco on the sun deck, with views over the lake and the veld, must be one of the most delightful thing one can do. The roots food and wine concept sets a new benchmark in South Africa cuisine.
“Forum Homini's restaurant, aptly named roots, has proved to be one of those fortuitous mutations that substantially advances humanity," Victor Strugo, South African food critic.
