Gourmet Guide™ Description

Qunu at the Saxon Hotel is Johannesburg’s jewel of luxurious and memorable dining. Named after the village where Nelson Mandela grew up, it skillfully blends African and international flavours on a diverse and meticulously crafted menu. In addition to two, three and four courses, there’s a six-course tasting menu that showcases culinary artistry, with perfect wine pairings. Opulence, sophisticated decor and warm lighting make it ideal for special occasions and intimate dinners.

Defining Qunu is chef Matthew Foxon’s commitment to sourcing local ingredients and his hands-on approach to selecting produce. An example of the culinary prowess is the seared scallops served with masala cream, curry leaf oil and a charred carrot tartare. The scallops are cooked to perfection, tender and flavourful and the accompanying masala cream adds an indulgent touch. Vegetarians will appreciate the melanzane raviolo which is paired with a smoked pomodoro and Parmesan foam, a harmonious blend of flavours and textures.

The service is exemplary with attentive professional staff who are passionate about providing an outstanding dining experience. The sommeliers are praised for their expertise and ability to
recommend the perfect wine pairings to complement each dish. This attention to detail enhances the overall experience, making each visit to Qunu unique.

    An absolute 5-star experience from start to finish. The food was exceptional - beautifully presented, thoughtfully prepared, and bursting with flavour. Every dish felt like a carefully crafted experience rather than just a meal. The service was equally impressive: attentive, warm, and truly world-class without ever feeling intrusive. The entire atmosphere made the evening feel special. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience.

    A perfect night. The service is world class, from moving the dinner time for me at last minute and Corlett is a gentleman and skilled host. The food was absolutely beautiful, a dance in the mouth basically. The recommended wine, the Pianist was perfect add ons. Thank you and see you again soon.

    Amazing experience, with great food. Drinks are overpriced. Other than that, it was superb. The staff were wonderful. Special thanks to Alex who attended our table.
