We had a great experience at NCW.
Upon arrival we received a glass of bubbly and sat outside on the patio.
The food already had our mouths watering.
We had the restaurants week menu.
Everything was delicious. My husband and I chose different options with each course and shared each one.
Everything was very flavourful.
All in all awesome.
Nice atmosphere and venue. Hidden Gem
Fantastic as always
Our waitress was very attentive to us, making sure she gets feedback from each course. The ambiance was nice and has the relaxed feeling even though it’s a fine dining one. The food were all good. We enjoyed ourselves. Will recommend.
What a wonderful lunch, the staff made us feel at home and the food was delicious and a little bit different. I think my favourite was the dessert, creme caramel with guava and salted caramel ice cream. The ice cream was the best but who knew creme caramel could be elevated like that! The trout smoked in front of us was a fun experience. I highly recommend NCW!

About NCW Restaurant
Cuisine: Fine Dining
NCW Restaurant
Chef Ence Willemse, who has previously worked at award-winning restaurants Roots in Krugersdorp and Overture in Stellenbosch, has opened a new restaurant in Melville called NCW. In addition to the boutique eatery with a seasonal menu, NCW will offer a space for cocktail parties, exhibitions and pop-ups.
The style of food might be labelled fine dining, but Ence calls it ‘food with a story’. Part of that story is a focus on the provenance of the ingredients he uses, from the farm to his kitchen. This philosophy extends to the wine offering, each bottle of which has a great story to tell.
The Edwardian building that houses the restaurant overlooking Main Road in Melville has been lovingly restored. The chef lives in another restored residence on the property. This venue has been hard-won: Ence even put in a blue-collar stint to raise the capital he needed to bring NCW to life.
