We ate at Roots - arranged as a team lunch following a trip to the Sterkfontein caves. They handled the large group with ease and style. The setting of the restaurant is lovely, as the Forum Homini hotel building is set into the landscape (grass growing on the roof) and when sitting in the restaurant you overlook a dam through...

We went to Roots Restuarant with some colleagues for a wine tasting and dinner. The restuarant is a bit far out of johannesburg, but well worth the drive. The food was exceptional, so interesting and very tasty. Although the portions are modest, you do not leave feeling at all hungry. The wine pairing was very good. even though I am... More

If you are into this type of cuisine, go for it. The food was excellent, the taste unbelievable ... like being in a dream ... you feel like you are floating on a cloud. The portions are minute (small), but definitely worth a visit. More

The food and wine pairing is great - the staff are knowledgable about the wines and the service is great. We opted for the food and wine pairing and I felt a bit rushed - it was almost as if they could not wait to let us try (and savour) the next wine and course. Upon booking I was asked... More
