"A new Jozi favourite"

10.0 Cuisine 10 | Service 10 | Atmosphere 10

We enjoyed just about everything about or Workshop 54 experience. From easy parking to a warm cosy inside. The service was great, when I asked the waiter for a suggestion of a floral-like Gin he was quick to make his recommendations (tonic, and add ons like blueberries and rosemary as well) and it was fantastic!

The restaurant week menu was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed all the food. We loved watching the chef "on the pass" checking and finishing all the food before it went out. They somehow managed to perfect the balance between generous and fine-dining, right up my alley.

The only negative would be the extremely expensive wine options (albeit excellent wines), and being wine drinkers that really added to the bill, BUT they did say they were more a gin and whiskey focussed restaurant, and they delivered well on that.

We had a lovely evening and can highly recommend going there. We can't wait to return and see and try the regular menu.

This place is beautiful, never heard of it before restaurant week. I had the beef fillet and my friend had the line fish, both dishes amazing. Can’t wait to be a regular there.

We had a wonderful time at Workshop 55. The restaurant week lunch menu was great.
For starters we had the tomato and ricotta dish and the duck liver pate. Mains were the beef fillet and the chicken tandoori. Dessert was the dark chocolate fondant and poached pear panacotta. The Tandoor chicken was the most flavorsome chicken I have ever had, this was a definite winner. The choc fondant was like a piece of heaven. The presentation was also great.
The gin infusions were awesome as well. So well paired.
Our waiter was Benson, he was fantastic, he made excellent recommendations and was super friendly and professional.
The decor was stunning; sleek and fashionable.
