QUNNU GRILL MENU

Wine Cellars

Impressive collection The Saxon’s remarkable wine collection is the culmination of the Sommeliers’ wealth of experience and the outstanding wine

programme that we have established. The Sommeliers spend a great

deal of their time in the Cellars, testing and tasting the wide range of

proudly South African wines as well as classic international vintages

to ensure that the perfect wine is paired with every meal.

Our favourite

Breakfast is Executive Chef David Higgs’ personal favourite meal of the day. This is evident in the exquisite buffet breakfast that mirrors Chef Higgs’ pride and passion.

Sunday brunchThe Saxon is renowned for the delicious buffet brunch served in Saxon Qunu Grill and on the Fig Terrace on Sundays.
