Meaning gold in Latin, Grand Delight Restaurant opened its doors in November 2019, overlooking Sandton
from the 7th floor of The Leonardo - which is South Africa's new tallest building. The restaurant
is the brainchild of esteemed chef and culinary consultant, Paulo Santo, in collaboration with
the Legacy Group and its chairman, Bart Dorrestein. True to its name, Grand Delight delivers timeless
prestige with its unique culinary offerings, creating a golden experience in the modern day.
Grand Delight represents luxury, but not in an intimidating, pretentious or ostentatious manner.
Just as gold is timeless in its appeal, we too wish to exist beyond time as a successful,
renowned business, serving a cosmopolitan African city; the City of Gold,” says Paulo Santo,
MD and Senior Partner of Grand Delight.

<p>
The Grand Delight kitchen is headed up by Paulo's former chef colleagues at Cube Tasting Kitchen;
Darren O'Donovan (Head Chef) and Lisa de Beer (Sous Chef and Sommelier). Inspired by
Darren and Lisa's travels and favourite dishes, Grand Delight offers plates which are seen as
epicurean, being contemporary European cuisine with a touch of local flair. Grand Delight has
two seasonal menus per year; Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter, with the majority of its
ingredients being locally sourced.

By day, Grand Delight presents their Light menu, Solis, consisting of an a la carte breakfast, brunch and
lunch offering. By night, Grand Delight takes on a sense of luxury manifested as the Dark menu, Luna, for
dinner. Paulo is known for using a patron's sense of taste and smell to play on something called
synesthesia. This is where the brain connotes particular tastes or smells to certain memories.
This plays throughout the entire menu cycle. Signature dishes include Cured Springbok, Slow Braised
Pork Belly and 'Afternoon Tea', a dessert inspired by the nostalgia of dunking Ouma rusks into tea,
showcasing local flavours of rooibos, buttermilk and clemengold.
“A meal at Grand Delight will aim to engage our patrons on an emotional level. We want to create experiences,
share memories, build strong relationships and gain the trust of our patrons through our product and
service offering. Grand Delight stands to take an old-world approach to service with a modern, new-world
approach to cuisine,”

Grand Delight's wine list was compiled by Lisa and features 99 of both South Africa and the globe's finest wines,
many of which are available by the glass. The wine list has been designed in a way to convey the best on
offer from around the world, without being pretentious and inaccessible. The list enables guests to be
exploratory, at the same time favourites from the Cape Winelands are on offer - for those preferring a
more familiar taste. Within the Wine Library, one can peruse over a smaller list that boasts special
vintages, limited releases on offer as well as some different, more "edgy" cultivars and blends for
those feeling adventurous.

Specialist mixologist, Alex Farnell has been brought on board to design and develop the cocktail list,
which features fun, trendy and edgy drinks with the right amount of traditional sophistication.
Expect to find some of the world's finest spirits brought to life in exquisite cocktails and signature mixes.

Grand Delight restaurant forms the heart of the lifestyle hub of The Leonardo building and overlooks its sunlit
pool terrace. Designed by Varoom Interiors, it features interior seating for 160pax, exterior seating
for 80pax, two private dining facilities and a Wine Library. The interiors were designed around three
frameworks: the seventh-floor artwork themed around the element of air; the transparent, exposed
architecture with visible columns and beams; and Johannesburg, being both The City of Gold and the
largest urban forest in the world. From the main artwork installation representing a golden flow of
air, the gold and green paint hues, together with the clever selection of custom designed furniture
combining natural leathers and timbers with subtle touches of gold throughout were all designed and
curated to showcase the design frameworks.

The restaurant's interior seating features booth tables, offering a sense of intimacy and privacy, while
the spacious main bar offers patrons a suitable holding space while they await their guests or preferred
table. Although the restaurant setup during the day is minimalised, it holds its elegance, creating an
emphasis on the space itself and its beautiful architecture. Table settings at night are upgraded to lush
cotton tablecloths with matching napery. Together with gold and onyx green colours and thoughtful lighting
arrangements, a softer, more romantic mood is created.The pool terrace highlights the preferred pastime of
most South Africans; looking beautiful under the African sun, sipping on a cold, refreshing beverage and
creating lasting memories. The sun loungers and terrace daybeds offer patrons of Grand Delight the luxury of a
poolside tanning spot, coupled with world-class service; a welcome reprieve from the concrete jungle around us.

<br />

The Wine Library sits on the mezzanine level and overlooks the restaurant floor. This space has a warm,
rich, robust feel, with its design lending it the feel of a cigar lounge. Patrons are invited to come and
relax here in the evening, while enjoying a special glass of something from the sommelier's selection.
The bottles are displayed in temperature accurate wine coolers and the seating boasts luxuriously upholstered
armchairs. All the furniture in Grand Delight has been locally manufactured and custom made for the restaurant.
From the lighting, to the artwork, to the furniture - the designer truly aspired to a 'local is lekker' mindset.

<br />
<br />

“Our goal was to create a timeless interior that would merge the sophistication of fine dining with a warm,
welcoming atmosphere. A place where everyone that visits feels like they belong,” says Vanessa Preston of Varoom Interiors.
