We hadn’t been here before, so when I noticed the R300 special for restaurant week, I took the opportunity to go to a restaurant that we’ve been meaning to try for ages, and we weren’t disappointed 😊. There were only 1 or 2 exclusions from the menu in the deal, so it really was great value for money. It is very dark in the restaurant, but you get used to it, we did need to use our torches on our phones to read the menu though. They did provide a small light on the table, but we needed a couple really as there were 5 of us. We had a lovely evening and the service was good too! We will go again!!

From beginning to end there was nothing to complain about. The building is absolutely breathtaking in the evening and even more so inside. Cozy with a warm ambience. Our waitress Patience was professional and exceptional, never left our side, always around to attend to our needs. Although busy, we waited an acceptable time for our meals and it was delicious. Well done to Antony the manger on duty, he had control over everything. You will see us again. Thank you

We were attracted to the interesting menu, especially the vegetarian dishes first, booked a table and just loved everything about the place. What a pleasure to be in a restaurant where the waiters and waitresses clearly have had proper training. The food was stunning, each dish an explosion of different tastes, more than sufficient quantity and beautifully presented. Equally impressive wine list. Love the deco and ambiance. A minor problem was the high noise level. We will definitely be back.

"Consistently excellent"
9.7 Cuisine 9 | Service 10 | Atmosphere 10

We had another great dinner at the Athletic Club. The food is varied with generous portions and the setting is absolutely gorgeous. The service is always excellent as well. All round, I highly recommend the restaurant (note that the menu is slightly different to what is shown on the website but still provides plenty of variety).

About The Athletic Club & Social

Cuisine: Mediterranean, Vegetarian

Cosy enough for romantic dates, but equally well-paired to group gatherings, this three-storey bar and restaurant is pure opulence!


The brown-hued three-storey Victorian building is bringing new life and class to the inner city. There is a large veranda looking out onto the mountains and cosy corners to eat, drink and relax.


The tapas bar and restaurant offers a menu combining Greek, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavours including plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. The coal-fired rotisserie will transport you far north-east with authentic pita breads loaded with lamb or chicken. All meats and fish are sustainably and ethically sourced. They serve lunch, dinner, drinks and coffee.
