As a member of Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, Clico has been selected to host the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs lunch on Sunday, 24 April 2022. Light jazz by the legendary Viwe and Thomas will be played over lunch. In addition, Clico is participating in South Africa’s Restaurant Week with a delectable menu throughout April.

Chaîne des Rôtisseurs (which means ‘brotherhood of roasters’) is a global community whose focus is brotherhood, friendship, camaraderie and sharing a passion for the culinary arts. Headquartered in Paris, the Chaîne has active members in 80 countries with South African gastronomes starting their own branch or bailliage in 1981.

The Johannesburg bailliage has selected Clico as the restaurant for their White Party-themed April event which is a celebration of World Chaine Day. This notable honour has been welcomed wholeheartedly with a menu created exclusively for the lunch by Executive Chef Davies Moagi and wine pairings by the boutique hotel’s resident sommelier, Sandile Mavuso. The four-course menu includes:
