Balata Restaurant @ The Fairway Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort

Hmmm. Lemon and prawn risotto, Braised oxtail in red wine and Sweet chilli glazed free range duck. Sounds mouth-watering? It certainly is! And if you haven’t tried the Malva pudding with toffee syrup and Caramel fudge mousse, served with chilli chocolate anglaise, you are certainly in for a pleasant surprise!

Featuring stylish fireplaces and a range of seating plans, Balata Restaurant is mostly known for its sumptuous breakfasts and light business lunches but Balata is now set to become the most sought after restaurant in fine dining under the head chef, Jean-Pierre Siegenthaler. All meals are prepared with great attention to detail and only the very best of local produce is sourced and served fresh every day…definitely a cut above the rest!

Conveniently situated on the ground level of the new Fairway Hotel on the Randpark Golf Course, 2km from Cresta Shopping Centre in Johannesburg, Balata Restaurant is already one of Johannesburg’s premier dining options.

The Fairway offers magnificent breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as an exclusive venue for corporate golfing days, functions and conferences as well as weddings.
