Mediterranean mezze, Venetian inspiration, and the always popular Sunday Lunch; dining at Punchinellos is not to be missed. Prime meat cuts, fresh seafood, seasonal vegetarian dishes and a selection of fine desserts at our diner-favourite Fourways restaurant.

A changing menu of dishes harmonises fresh and local with fine imported specialties to create dining that is Mediterranean at its heart and celebrates the best of South African produce.

Punchinello’s offers guests an award-winning Mediterranean mezze, Venetian inspiration dining. Regularly regarded as the best restaurant in Fourways and one of the finest Mediterranean restaurants in Johannesburg this is fine-dining that never becomes fussy-dining. Portions are generous, presentation is beautiful and the taste is mouth-watering.

    We chose the lamb shank and tiger prawns for a special occasion, and both dishes were thoroughly enjoyable. The lamb shank was beautifully tender, falling off the bone, with a generous portion and comforting, well-balanced flavours. The tiger prawns were fresh, perfectly cooked, and nicely presented, with the lemon butter sauce that complemented it well. Combined with friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere, it made for a memorable and enjoyable celebration. A lovely venue to mark a special occasion.
