"Lovely dinner"

Great service by staff and even an interaction with the owner, who came to check on us. The food was lovely, beside the calamari being slightly tough and overcooked, everything else was amazing!!! Will definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant

Great food, classically inspired at reasonable prices. Superb beef carpaccio. A beef fillet Diane (the classic mushroom sauce) flamed at the table. Choice of sides included a very good fresh spinach. Great to have a variety of wine pairings available with each course. They have regular wine tasting dinners every 2nd Tuesday. Will definitely return!

Chaplin's has stood the test of time and offers old favourites with some delicious specials. The carpaccio was excellent as was the tomato tart with chevin. We all had the fillet steak Diane, flambeed at the table it was an absolute winner. The wine list contains some gems and is reasonably priced.
The service is attentive and professional.
Restaurateur Rainold Petersen has been a feature of the Johannesburg fine dining scene for many years and one hopes that he will continue to enjoy success. Unfortunately, the restaurant is tucked away in a small centre on the corner of William Nicol and Republic in Hurlingham Manor and while there is an abundance of safe parking the premises are quite unpre-possessing from the outside.
Dinner at Chaplin's is an excellent evening out.
