Award-winning Bedfordview restaurant The 11th Floor will host its final wine pairing dinner of 2026, featuring a six-course menu by Executive Chef Kyle Marshall paired with Bruce Jack Wines

There is a certain theatre to a The 11th Floor wine pairing dinner. It begins as the sun slips behind the Johannesburg skyline. The first glass is poured. A beautifully composed plate arrives. Flavours and textures unfold with every course, turning dinner into a sensory experience that lingers long after dessert.

Recently nominated as South Africa’s Best Restaurant and Africa’s Best Rooftop Restaurant in the 2026 World Culinary Awards, The 11th Floor has built a reputation for refined cuisine and unforgettable occasions. Its wine pairing evenings showcase this philosophy, giving Executive Chef Kyle Marshall and his team the freedom to create beyond the restaurant’s à la carte offering.

The Final Wine Pairing Dinner of 2026

On Wednesday, 2 September 2026, The 11th Floor will present its final pairing dinner of the year.

As winter draws to a close, Chef Kyle’s exclusive six-course menu celebrates seasonal comfort with award-winning South African wines. Guests are invited to settle in above the city, savour every course and toast the arrival of spring.

For this edition, the restaurant has partnered with Bruce Jack Wines, the family-owned South African producer recognised for its thoughtful winemaking and independent spirit. In 2026, Bruce Jack Wines was named one of Drinks International’s World’s Most Admired Wine Brands for the sixth time.

Chef Kyle Marshall’s Six-Course Menu

Rather than selecting wines after creating the menu, Executive Chef Kyle Marshall and Head Sommelier Keize Mumba develop each pairing together.

Following tastings at the wine farms, they consider each wine’s flavour profile, texture and depth before crafting dishes that bring those qualities to life.

“When we plan these evenings, we taste the wines first and allow them to guide the menu,” says Marshall. “Sometimes a wine takes a dish in a direction we did not expect, and that is what makes the process exciting for us. We want guests to experience that same sense of discovery as each course arrives.”

The first course features Oyster, Gremolata & Pear-Citrus Salsa, pairing clean briny flavours with citrus freshness.

Course two moves into richer textures with Smoked Salmon, Charred Lemon & Whipped Feta, served alongside Marmalade Invader Skin-Contact Chenin Blanc.

The third course introduces deeper flavours with Roasted Lamb Rack, paired with Bruce Jack Reserve Pinotage, creating one of the evening’s most comforting moments.

Course four offers a refreshing interlude with Movable Feast Wine Sorbet & Forest Berry Foam, paired with The Drift Estate Movable Feast. The wine itself becomes part of the dish, carrying its mulberry, blackberry and fynbos notes into the sorbet.

The final savoury course reimagines a classic with Deconstructed Beef Wellington, featuring slow-braised ossobuco paired with Bruce Jack “The Epic Journey”.

Dessert closes the experience with Lychee & Coral Cake, served alongside Bruce Jack “Bumble Bee” Moscato for a bright and playful finish.
