We found Sandton’s hidden foodie treasure chest at AtholPlace Restaurant during Restaurant Week SA 2017. We started with pre-drinks in their bar/library area to get ready for a foodie adventure like no other.
The first gem was the Greens and Garlic Soup with Kimchi. The Executive Chef, Willie Malherbe really knows how to execute exciting and unusual dishes with Asian inspiration. After the delicious soup came the Smoked Springbok Lion with Radish and Crisp Goats Cheese, the crisp goats cheese is an absolute foodie revolution. The goats cheese had a crispy layer, almost deep-fried texture on the outside and oh sooo soft cheesiness on the inside.
The main beef dish was a Fillet with Roasted Vegetables. The dish was accompanied by Pumpkin Puree blobs and Red Wine Jus that raised the dish to a whole new level. The next main up, was the Kingklip! If we had to choose to eat only one dish forever, this would be it! Come breakfast, lunch, dinner, brunch, tea time, you name it, this dish will go with it. Coconut, Lemongrass and Lime Roasted Kingklip with Pakchoi served with Rice Noodles and Chili Caramel. Knocked us out of this world!
Dessert was an interesting combination of Dark Chocolate and Cherries. Big and bold flavours that complimented each other so well.
AtholPlace really feels like home but with royalty treatment. The price is definitely a fine-dining-price but we paid it with a smile, because with food as good as this, to transport you to a whole new world, professional staff having a collective goal in mind to ensure everyone has an unforgettable experience. Tick! Goal achieved! And an atmosphere of awe and wonder it was definitely worth every pretty penny.
Their menu changes regularly, so we will definitely be back for more exploring!
TTT recommends you sit inside to enjoy the local art and try the Kingklip if it is available.

We were taken to the restaurant for lunch. The Hotel is beautifully decorated and refurbished and boasts 5* rating. The food was excellent and deserves its rating as well. The Haloumi salad was delightful and the vegetarian curry was tasty and beautifully presented. The fried fish was not as good as I would have expected. The disappointment however was in the lack of skill and knowledge of the waitress, who was probably one of the housekeeping staff. She did not know which Rose wine was dry and I had to read the labels myself. She also had to return to the table to check our order and the table settings were not 5*. Parking can be a problem due to a lack of space and training of staff is needed. All four of us were disappointed considering the price and rating.

The service, ambiance were exceptional and the food was very good, but had expectations that weren't quite met. Still excellent, not exquisite.

Having stayed for an overnight experience with my wife and 12 month old son, i can only say that they made each of us feel welcome and part of the family. My son even got his own bath toys and gown as part of the turn down. Rooms had everything we need and the staff were gentle and attentive to our needs with a baby. Dinner was outstanding and breakfast was superb. (have to try the scrambled eggs with truffle oil). I will definitely be back.

This is a beautiful place.
I had the problems with the noise of the street and some
additonal tiny background noise of technical installations.
These later points caused me to leave after one day.response / report this review
