Leo's at the Castle — Contemporary Fine Dining, Windhoek
Leo’s at the Castle is arguably Windhoek’s only true fine-dining establishment — located in a castle on a hill with fabulous views of the Namibian capital, haute cuisine that is gorgeously prepared and presented, and a wine cellar of up to 13,000 bottles of handpicked South African wines. The Heinitzburg Castle, built in 1914 by Count von Schwerin, provides one of the most extraordinary restaurant settings in Africa: a genuine European castle in the Namibian bush.
The menu at Leo’s includes creative dishes that demonstrate genuine culinary ambition: tender springbok fillet with omajava mushrooms and asparagus that uses the Namibian game and foraged mushroom traditions simultaneously, and pigeon breast covered in honey sherry that reflects the kitchen’s ability to produce dishes of genuine European fine dining standard from African ingredients.
The wine cellar is Leo’s most celebrated asset: 13,000 handpicked South African bottles selected with the knowledge of a sommelier who has spent decades building a collection that rivals anything available outside Cape Town and Johannesburg.
Leo’s at the Castle is the restaurant around which Windhoek’s most important occasions are organised: the city’s most prestigious business dinners, its most romantic proposals, and the celebrations that want both the castle view and the finest wine cellar in Namibia.
