Dining At Fairlawns Boutique Hotel & Spa
Dining at the Fairlawns is designed to be elegantly casual. The finer details like beautiful linen, crockery and silver cutlery are, however, an integral part of the experience. The candlelit tables and soft music give an enchantingly intimate and romantic atmosphere to the Italian influenced décor of the terrace restaurant. In the summer the venue of choice is out on the open terraces, where guests enjoy the renowned Johannesburg weather, which, like Camelot, is rarely too hot or too cold at night. The lamplights compete with the twinkling stars to make this destination restaurant a memorable venue. The Menu is international and prepared fresh everyday from local produce. Personalized dishes are prepared with pleasure. Our award-winning wine list complements the delicious array of seasonal dishes on offer. Although the continental buffet section of the breakfast menu is cleared at 10h30, Guests are welcome to order breakfast whenever they please. It subscribes to the philosophy that “we are here for the Guest’s convenience, and not the Guest for ours”. Light lunches are served wherever a Guest desires at the Pool, on the Terrace, in their Suite or in the Restaurant. An in-suite menu is also available. Private Dinners can be arranged in a variety of venues. The Terrace Restaurant is open to non-residents for breakfast, lunch and dinner, seven days a week, bookings essential. A sundowner enjoyed around the sparkling pool, or on the Terrace watching the setting sun and listening to the returning flocks of birds is a truly African experience. In winter there is a roaring fire in the Bar to compensate for being in-doors. The bar is fully stocked with a wide array of excellent wines, both local and international, and has won many awards to date. A Diners Club Diamond award (one of only 5 National recipients) and several Platinum awards for the “Wine list of the year” Annual Awards to name a few.
