You feel right at home , the service was outstanding, the food was excellent and they sure know how to make a mojito. We had the set menu for restaurant week and chose all the options. Homely meals were served full of flavour , beautifully plated and the perfect portion sizes. You can taste the love that was poured into your meal. Everyone is treated as part of the family which makes the whole dining experience so much more special. This is a little gem you don’t want to miss.

Set in the historical home of the former president, Insights is a historical journey into the life and palate of Mr Mandela. They accommodated our party of 7 wonderfully. The service was attentive and the stories accompanying the menu and home were enlightening.
The food selection for each course was one of two options per course. The best dish was the oxtail ravioli.
Would have liked more consistency in the plating however.
We had a delicious meal at Sanctuary Mandela - compliments to the chef as everything we tasted was superb. As it is tucked away and not part of a shopping mall or open to foot traffic the restaurant was a bit quiet and lacked a bit of ambience, however the staff were very attentive and made the experience most enjoyable.

About Insights Restaurant
Cuisine: Fine Dining
In Nelson Mandela’s household, food was more than sustenance. It was about tradition, family, home, sharing, and enjoying meals with those he loved.
In memory of his love for food, our fine dining restaurant serves as a tribute to his favourite dishes as previously prepared by his long-time personal chef, Xoliswa Ndoyiya.
