Gigi Restaurant
Storytelling on a plate, where global classics meet South African indigenous grains.
Chef Moses Moloi treats every dish as a narrative, weaving cultural history into a menu that blends Mediterranean sensibility with proudly South African ingredients. Sorghum, samp, morogo and pap appear alongside ceviche, risotto and chimichurri without ever feeling forced. There’s the likes of a cassava waffle with buttermilk fried chicken, cabbage slaw and chilli honey for breakfast, or, on the mains menu, grilled beef tongue with spiced creamy samp, pickled atchar foam and chakalaka. The carefully considered interior matches this sense of meeting traditions. It’s inviting, textured and sculptural, designed to reflect the same artistry and cultural melting pot found on chef Moses’s plates. For something truly special, book a seat at the intimate Gigi Tasting Experience, where 10 guests are taken on a seven-course flavour exploration.
Don't leave without trying:
The chicke-and-grain salad, a hearty affair of sorghum, cherry tomatoes, black beans, olives, macadamia nuts and kale, all in a spicy dressing.
