Located on Bree Street, The Wiggle Room is a new 12-seater chef’s counter dining experience where fine dining loosens its tie and settles into something far more exciting. Chef Ismail Amos, AKA Fish, cooks to the rhythm of his own music playlist – no set menu, no repetition, just music, good food and serious skill. The full experience is R2850 per person which includes your pairing. Expect a 7–8-course dinner that changes weekly, where each dish flows naturally into the next. Alongside him, Lester – virtuoso mixologist and sommelier – crafts bespoke cocktails and wine pairings for each course. This is fine dining, but with some wiggle room.

What guests have to say:
“The food was amazing and watching a kind of good theatre in my opinion is extremely exciting. The meal was extremely creative and it was such great fun. Highly enjoyable evening. Fine dining with a difference.”
“What an experience – we had a wonderful evening. The food was incredible, the chefs are true gems and absolutely talented. The pairing was amazing with wine but also cocktails in between! Service was impeccable. Don’t miss this one!”

    Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish and looked after so well by Fish, Snow and Njabs Food was very inventive but could still taste each element of the dish and great wine pairing too

    This was an experience… we enjoyed the concept - music and vibey… different to other fine dining experiences. The chefs were attentive, interactive and well versed in flavour profiles. I was hoping for just a little more out of the dessert. I look forward to going back next time to try their new menu.

    The food was wonderful and the music was amazing the chefs are really perfect for set up of a live kitchen. We had a great time. The only down side is refilling of water , it did become a little bit annoying having to ask for that- and for the price that little touch should be there.
