Although not every dish is up to my personal taste I cannot fault the food quality at all. Prepared with attention to detail and most definitely delicious! I have tried many meals that I would have never imagined and often was surprised by the combination of flavours. We will keep returning.

I felt the waiter could have explained the menu before we made our choice. for starter there was octopus and crocodile (very limiting for people who are not adventurous with their food). The mains were also disappointing, cos it was mostly meat on the plate and hardly no veggie. had to order extra sauce on the side as the meat was dry.
Dining at Balata was lovely. The atmosphere and ambiance of restaurant was exactly what I had hoped for. Lovely meals- all our plates were all clean!

Fish and the mash on the plate was also dry, the sauce presented was insufficient to make up for this.
The duck for my partner was not cooked properly.
The dessert was not appealing at all.

About Balata Restaurant
Cuisine: Fine Dining, Mediterranean
Thai prawn and papaya salad, braised oxtail in red wine and Salmon Vichyssoise. Sounds mouth-watering? It certainly is. Top it off with Date and Toffee pudding with crunchy hazelnut ice cream for dessert, and you are certainly in for a pleasant flavour surprise!Using the freshest produce available, all meals are served with great care and attention to detail.
Entertaining options at The Fairway Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort are aplenty, but Balata Restaurant deserves the first mention. Offering a variety of seating arrangements, vibrant décor colours and modern fireplaces, the restaurant is famous for its outstanding breakfasts. Light business lunches are popular, but Balata is certainly known for its exquisite fine dining under the leadership of Executive Chef Jean-Pierre Siegenthaler. The Sunday buffet lunch is a culinary feast not to be missed and romantic fine dining dinner next to the fireplace is high in demand.
Balata Restaurant is accredited with The American Express Platinum Fine Dining Award 2013 – 2016.
