SAAM restaurant

Highly recommended!! We had an amazing evening at Saam for a birthday celebration. Both the regular and the vegetarian menu were great. Very flavorful combinations and beautiful presentations. The sommelier recommended some of her favorite South African wines, which were amazing! Will be back again!

Interesting restaurant in an unassuming location. Went a group after business meeting and assumed the chef s table to go all in on the full menu. Service was cheerful over the 3 plus hrs, maybe wine selection could have been a tad more informed but otherwise good. Kitchen is South African inspired combined with modern European presentation. Dishes were overall very tasty and of decent size given their number. Highlight was surprisingly a take on the Italian classic caponata, which apparently is a house special. The best intermezzo was also good while a duck breast disappointed a bit by being chewy. Overall solid and worth a stop

Fantastic food, service and ambiance! This is truly a great fine dining place. Lots of attention to detail, the price/quality ratio is right and it’s just delicious and beautifully presented. We had one veggie and one normal 4 course meal, both truly great! We will be coming back. Cannot wait to sit on the terrace by the water in summer. The open kitchen cooking is great! And the staff is very knowledgeable also about the wine. Lastly, I love the attention to detail in the bathrooms and how the water in the bathroom comes out warm not freezing cold!

What a wonderful restaurant. Have had dinner twice now and each time a great experience. Not only the food but also the service and eye for detail.

After a long day of work, we decided to go out. I found this gem scrolling through the list and decided to make a reservation. It was easy to make a reservation and after a long hard day, not having to choose what to eat was ideal. Arriving at the restaurant, we were greeted by the friendly staff members who took our coats and stored them safely and proceeded to show us to our table. We were already impressed with the cleanliness and attention to the details to create an amazing dining experience. It was by far, the best experience I’ve had thus far from the entering the door, and even the following day having a rusk with coffee in the morning. The taste of the food was absolutely phenomenal. Each dish was extremely well thought out and the flavour combinations were out of this world and with each dish being unique in its own way but also intertwining with the other courses creating a flow of amazing experience of delightful taste sensations. To say that I recommend it is a vast understatement. It is definitely a place I would visit again and would recommend to everyone for an amazing experience. There are always a few points of improvement: 1. I found the younger staff more “rushed” when explaining the dish. Relaxing is part of the experience and if you feel stressed and rushed, so do I, slow down a bit. 2. It was quite load where we were seated and felt a bit cramped up between two other couples. A bit more space would be appreciated to add to the experience. Overall, amazing experience!

What a nice experience for dinner. I am a South African, and it was great to see my countries’ cuisine appreciated to the extent that it deserves. I also enjoyed the extensive selection of South African wines. It definitely made me miss home a little extra today. When they change/refresh the menu, I will definitely be back!

Everything was absolutely faultless! We can’t recommend SAAM highly enough. The food, ambience, and service were just top-notch! It was also great fun to introduce some North American friends to South African ingredients, flavours, and wines. We’ll be back!

We went to SAAM for my boyfriend’s birthday and had a wonderful time. From start to finish we truly enjoyed every dish and discovered South African inspired cuisine was a delight. We will happily come back and recommend to anyone who is foodie to go and try!
