Read full reviewWe went there for our 3 year anniversary dinner. It was pouring outside and when we arrived someone was there with an umbrella which was great. The hotel seems very nice and the decor as well. The restaurant feels like a restaurant for a hotel... It was not romantic at all. The lights were so bright, and no atmosphere was created... The food was great. Fine dining, beautiful plating and they did give us a happy anniversary desert which was great. It think if this hotel uses the opportunity they have to create a romantic atmosphere it can be great.

Read full reviewWe started with pre-drinks in their bar/library area to get ready for a foodie adventure like no other.
The first gem was the Greens and Garlic Soup with Kimchi. The Executive Chef, Willie Malherbe really knows how to execute exciting and unusual dishes with Asian inspiration. After the delicious soup came the Smoked Springbok Lion with Radish and Crisp Goats Cheese, the crisp goats cheese is an absolute foodie revolution. The goats cheese had a crispy layer, almost deep-fried texture on the outside and oh sooo soft cheesiness on the inside.
The main beef dish was a Fillet with Roasted Vegetables. The dish was accompanied by Pumpkin Puree blobs and Red Wine Jus that raised the dish to a whole new level. The next main up, was the Kingklip! If we had to choose to eat only one dish forever, this would be it! Come breakfast, lunch, dinner, brunch, tea time, you name it, this dish will go with it. Coconut, Lemongrass and Lime Roasted Kingklip with Pakchoi served with Rice Noodles and Chili Caramel. Knocked us out of this world!
Dessert was an interesting combination of Dark Chocolate and Cherries. Big and bold flavours that complimented each other so well.
AtholPlace really feels like home but with royalty treatment. The price is definitely a fine-dining-price but we paid it with a smile, because with food as good as this, to transport you to a whole new world, professional staff having a collective goal in mind to ensure everyone has an unforgettable experience. Tick! Goal achieved! And an atmosphere of awe and wonder it was definitely worth every pretty penny.
Their menu changes regularly, so we will definitely be back for more exploring!
TTT recommends you sit inside to enjoy the local art and try the Kingklip if it is available.

AtholPlace Restaurant gets the 'Ultimate stamp' from Two Tasty Tummies
It was our first time visiting AtholPlace and the welcome from the entrance was warm. The furniture and how everything was set out was beautiful. The garden looks lovely as well and the ambience was perfect.
The waiters were very friendly, especially Phillip.
The food was amazing. We would definitely go back to the restaurant.
Boutique delight!!!!
We dined at several restaurants during restaurant week and AtholPlace was by far our favorite. The staff were friendly and attentive and the setting lovely and tranquil. We could actually not believe that we were still in the city. We thoroughly enjoyed all the courses and will definitely be visiting this restaurant again.
