AMEX Tennis Town 2026 Brings Wimbledon Magic to Joburg

We were fortunate enough to experience the exclusive Amex Tennis Town Café, where complimentary cocktails, wines and refreshments flowed throughout the afternoon. The hospitality was polished without feeling pretentious, creating the relaxed atmosphere long associated with Wimbledon. 

The culinary highlight belonged to Gemelli, whose reputation as a well-known Joburg Italian restaurant was on full display. Founded by Alessandro Mosupi Khojane, Gemelli has built its name on generous hospitality and comforting Italian food, and the menu reflected that approach. From succulent smoked beef ribs and rich oxtail rigatoni to grilled kingklip, Basotho lamb chops and wild mushroom gnocchi, every dish felt worthy of the occasion. Dessert, naturally, included the quintessential Wimbledon pairing of strawberries and cream, alongside sticky toffee pudding and berry cheesecake.
