The restaurant at the Saxon redefines the ultimate destination in fine dining
where time stands still and nothing matters except the here and now. It is
tastefully decorated with the same understated modern minimalist African
elegance that echoes throughout the Saxon. Guests are seated at the tables laid
with crisp, fresh linen and invited to savor superb delicacies.
The Saxon's world-class chefs ensure that guests are catered for with
personalized cuisine that is prepared and presented to perfection with minute
attention paid to every detail. The Head Chef adheres to a fundamental
philosophy of preparing only the freshest local ingredients, aiming for dishes
that are colorful and experiential.
Every morning starts with a breakfast buffet offering a colorful, appealing
array of delicious fruit and seasonal berries served fresh as well as made into
compôtes and coulis. The luncheon and dinner menus are changed seasonally, with
sensational new dishes incorporating African game meat and seafood delicacies
such as crayfish.
The wine cellars, with their enchanting ambience
that exudes a rich cultural heritage, also serve as exclusive dining areas for
couples or small groups accompanied by a bottle of impeccable vintage wine from
some of the world's most renowned estates. The dining library, which houses an
eclectic collection of reading material and is decorated with watercolors
depicting ancient indigenous African weaponry, is another ideal venue for
hosting private dinner parties.
The cool, wide Pool Terrace is an inviting area
where you can relax and while away the late afternoon, sipping sundowners as
you take in the spectacular sunsets. From there you can gravitate to the Olive
Bar, beyond which you will find the well-stocked, impressive koi pond that
never fails to evoke gasps of wonderment from visitors from far and wide. Just
across the way is the outdoor heated pool that leads to the well-equipped
fitness centre complete with an expertly supervised gymnasium. The underwater
music emanating from the pools lends a special magic to the enchantment of this
picturesque setting.
The Saxon Hotel is the proud recipient of many highly acclaimed international awards, the most prestigious of which is being voted the World's Leading Boutique Hotel for the last five consecutive years.
Set within a lush six-acre haven of peace and tranquility, The Saxon epitomizes tasteful ethnic Afro Chic elegance combined with discreetly efficient personalized attention to detail.
This is the preferred destination of the world's most discerning local and international guests, including members of Royalty, Heads of State and leading celebrities.
And now The Saxon proudly introduces The Saxon International School of Pastry, offering aspiring young Pastry Chefs the opportunity to train in this time-honored culinary art at an internationally accredited institution under highly qualified, internationally acclaimed chefs.
