Gourmet experience throughout. Service on point. Food visually and gastronomical vibrant and delectable. Wonderfully prepared and cared for ingredients that shine excellently well in every dish.
Food and experience eating well worth the price. Personal touches to make a birthday weekend extra elevated made the night out worth more than the monetary value.
Well done and keep up the attention to detail. Really elevated gourmet.
Chef Wandile Mabaso gave us a sophisticated fine dining experience. Each course was breath taking , looked as good as it tasted.
With creative palette cleansers in-between meals was a great surprise.
I felt like I travelled to France and back through his food. It may be pricy but it’s worth every penny !!!!!!!!
A superior dining experience!!! Chef Wandile Mabaso’s restaurant is seriously an indulgent and satisfying experience. Keyword - experience! Wandile, thank you for the finest and warmest hospitality. Incredible art on the walls, unforgettable flavours and great conversation. Les Créatifs Restaurant is a unique dining experience in Joburg. A four course meal, palate cleansers and then some (a cake). All served on stunning hand crafted crockery. I will be smiling for days. Ask for the goat dish. You wouldn’t say it’s goat meat for how tender and flavour full it is. The tongue dish will have you returning over and over. Delicious.
Chef Wandile Mabaso and his team have created a truly special experience for their guests. Every aspect was executed to perfection. Professional, attentive, consummate service, wonderfully homegrown haute cuisine, in an elegant yet cosy setting. Highly recommend!
Was there last night with my friends to celebrate my birthday. We had an exhilarating experience! The food was scrumptious! The staff professional. The restaurant has an X factor! Had the best birthday ever!
Fine dining at it's best. Food was superb. The calamari was very tender. The lamb was melting in the mouth and the trout was excellent. The whole experience, from the attention given by the waiters, to the chef's wonderful skill, left us wanting to come back here. Highly recommended.
Came here for our marriage anniversary. It was beautiful and lovely food. Great service. Great experience 5 stars! Would recommend it for any special day or occassion!
