Roma Revolving

When we gather at the Roma Revolving Restaurant, the experience transcends mere dining. Sitting above the skyline of Durban, this iconic venue encapsulates the essence of the Durban Vibe, blending multiculturalism, art, and culinary creativity.

The rotating panorama of the city sets a captivating backdrop for enjoying some of the best food Durban has to offer. The Roma Revolving Restaurant’s inventive cuisine plays a significant role in making it one of the best restaurants in Durban. Here, the fusion of flavours from different cultures is more than just a meal; it’s a celebration of Durban’s diverse heritage that we so love.

They have a wide and varied menu. Among our favourite dishes when we eat there is the Chateaubriand Bearnaise for two. This exquisite dish features beef filet flambéed with brandy right at your table, then grilled to perfection and sliced. It’s served with a rich Bearnaise sauce and a pepper sauce, making it a culinary delight that’s as much about the performance as it is about the flavour. 

The adventurous might be tempted to sample the Crocodile Steak – a cut from the tail that is delicately grilled, or perhaps the slow-cooked wild rabbit. For those who prefer a vegetarian option, the Handmade Ravioli is a must-try. These delicate pasta squares, filled with spinach and ricotta cheese, are cooked in a luscious fresh cream and parmesan sauce, creating a comforting and satisfying meal. Seafood lovers will be thrilled with the Seafood Platter for One, which includes a delightful array of fresh linefish, crayfish, langoustines, king prawns, calamari, mussels, all served with rice, lemon, and garlic butter. Each dish is a testament to the restaurant’s dedication to quality and flavour, making it one of the best restaurants in Durban in our opinion.

They have a great wine cellar featuring their own boutique wine called “RIVER GOLD WINE” cultivated at their private chateau in Cape Town. If you want to take some home it is available from their in-house wine cellar. 

Exploring the surrounding area adds to the experience. Within 500 metres, you can visit the Durban Art Gallery, a perfect spot to immerse yourself in local art. Or, why not take a stroll along the Victoria Embankment for a scenic view of the harbour? These attractions, combined with your dining experience, encapsulate the cultural richness that defines Durban.

So our final thoughts? The Roma Revolving Restaurant is more than just a place to eat; it’s a vital part of the cultural tapestry that makes Durban unique. Its innovative dishes and dynamic atmosphere truly make it one of the best restaurants in Durban.
