The exquisitely appointed and intimate Giglio dining room has been designed around the culture of wine appreciation. Featuring a cellar behind glass, solid timber floors, chairs fashioned from repurposed wine barrels, and mood-enhancing chandeliers, the scene is set for an elegantly relaxed and social dining experience.

The Giglio’s food philosophy is simple – seasonal produce, the best quality ingredients, and dishes that are significant to the owners, collected from years of extensive travel around the globe. Our meals are an absolute creation, presented on the finest crockery, cutlery and glassware for your enjoyment. An extensive selection of fine wines and champagnes are served, with most of our premium wines available in a by-the-glass option.

Open from morning until evening, start the day with a delicious a la carte breakfast, including a luxury, continental buffet. In the early evening, enjoy the ambiance and the sumptuous surroundings of the pool deck, perfect for lingering over pre-dinner drinks.

    Unfortunately our food was cold - it could have been warmed up before bringing it outside. The Potato Rosti order by 2 people - lovely and delicious. The Country breakfast x 1 - delicious Eggs benedict x 1 - very good

    Beautiful hotel and setting, ambience ruined slightly because the restaurant is at the front of the property overlooking the swimming pool, so if you are seated outside, you hear the cars in Van Buuren Road and also overlook the parking lot. The front security gate needs a setting to close it faster and the single toilet for all patrons (male & female) needs to be regularly checked to ensure cleanliness. Service was on point, menu is fantastic and the food was perfect. Partner had the confit duck and I had the salmon fillet, both R340 and served with a few vegetables. At the price, they could add a starch; my partner was still hungry and ordered chips afterwards. Wine list is excellent but pricey, starting around R95 a glass and up. Enjoyable special occasion venue, pricey but well executed.
