Joburg’s Closest Thing to Centre Court

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 and refined, creating exactly the sort of relaxed atmosphere Wimbledon itself has become famous for. 

 The culinary highlight belonged to Gemelli, whose reputation as one of Joburg’s finest Italian restaurants was on full display. Founded by Alessandro Mosupi Khojane, Gemelli has built its name on generous hospitality and beautifully executed comfort food, and the carefully curated menu reflected exactly that. 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 indulgent sticky toffee pudding and berry cheesecake.
