ROOI, One&Only Cape Town
Touched by Fire
The blend of local artistry with natural elements, such as the Pincushion Protea embossed on menus and tables or the wooden horned seats inspired by South Africa's Ankole cattle. The use of stone and various woods, including large Natal Mahogany trees, creates an outdoor feel, complemented by a host desk crafted from burnt wood with carvings reflecting the Koi San tribes.
An inlay rug showcases local flora and fauna in a swirling pattern and a custom mural by Elise Wessels illustrates an enchanting African landscape with whimsical animals.

Modern luxury and local culture
ROOI was created to provide a dining space that blends modern luxury and local culture whilst representing the rich tapestry of South African cuisine. In doing so, ROOI aims to create a space where everyone feels welcome, can enjoy a delicious meal among loved ones, and, most importantly, feel at home.
A striking theatrical element to the room
Warm terracotta and copper tones, alongside soft limestone green, anchor the main dining area, while earthy shades ground the richer colours. The centrepiece of the open kitchen is a stunning tapestry of forged metal tiling in purple, rust, silver, and platinum, crafted by Bronze Age, adding a striking theatrical element to the room.
