Quills Restaurant, in uniquely African fashion, offers guests the opportunity to experience spectacular restaurant dining in Kempton Park, Johannesburg at InterContinental O.R. Tambo Airport. An 18-metre (59 foot) porcupine quill mobile suspended from the ceiling of the restaurant sets the tone, as does the dramatic collage of traditional African masks. The spirit of Africa – its energy, originality, and passion – is reflected in its authentic cuisine.

Guests can enjoy delicious breakfasts, cosmopolitan lunches and contemporary dinners. Specialising in local dishes paired with outstanding South African wines, the restaurant’s distinctive atmosphere is one that reflects the warm hospitality of South Africa’s City of Gold. Quills Bar, meanwhile, serves an excellent variety of cocktails, local wines, ciders and beers, and provides the ideal opportunity to relax, socialise, or simply spend quality time with friends and family.

Group bookings are welcome.

    Both the gnocchi and calamari dishes were delicious and hot and beautifully presented. An excellent experience

    An excellent meal. A great choice between the ostrich and the springbok. Very good service and we were well looked after. So 10/10. The only very minor complaint was the ambience as the background music was awful. Surely an evening meal in Quills is not enhanced with rock music?

    We had a very good experience here whilst in transit at the airport. We were 4 adults and one child and were particularly impressed with the good range of food choices on the menu for all of us. The decor at Quills makes for a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere which is exactly what we had hoped for. Food quality was excellent and service was good. Staff were very friendly.

    Dear Dr. Glyn Banks, Thank you so much for your wonderful 4.8-star review of Quills. We’re absolutely delighted to hear that you had such a positive experience with us while in transit. Creating a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere for our guests—especially during the hustle and bustle of airport travel—is exactly what we strive for, so it’s lovely to know that the décor and ambiance met your expectations. It’s also fantastic to hear that our menu offered a great range of choices for your group and that both the food quality and service stood out. Your kind words about our team’s friendliness will mean a great deal to them; they work hard to ensure every guest, including our younger diners, feels warmly welcomed and well looked after. We truly appreciate you choosing to dine with us and hope to welcome you and your family back to Quills on your next journey through the airport. Warm regards, Elsabe van der Merwe Quality Assurance Officer
