A seasonally inspired menu of classic dishes and its comfortable, homely atmosphere make Clico Boutique Hotel a reliable staple in Rosebank, says Bazil Stander.

Food

Offering a modern interpretation of old-fashioned South African fare, the food at Clico Boutique Hotel is thoughtfully prepared and stays within a traditional and safe space. Think springbok loin with red wine jus, butternut soup with almonds, seared salmon with couscous, and chocolate fondant with berries. The menu changes almost daily, offering seasonal variety and new menu items for their numerous loyal patrons. Weekday lunches offer a small à la carte menu, while for evenings and weekend lunches a five-course tasting menu with or without wine pairings is available. These tasting menus offer good value for money and generous portions.

Wine

A limited but interesting selection of South African wines covers most bases, although it could do with some more unusual options. Most wines are available by the glass.

Smart, casual and homely all at the same time – this space feels like you are dining at a friend’s house. It’s also a great space for a private party or small event.
