Harbour views at 9th Avenue Waterside: The award-winning eatery, which offers fine wines and food, is on stilts at Durban’s harbour
, formerly known as 9th Avenue Bistro, is an award-winning restaurant with breath-taking views. The restaurant relaunched and relocated from Morningside to the Transnet-owned land at the Durban Yacht Mole in August 2019.
“We saw an opportunity to upgrade and reinvigorate this area, we did not want it to be another drinking hole or action bar,” says the owner, Leona Sewram. She has been managing the business behind the scenes since its inception in 2001. She owns Onassis International and 9th Avenue Waterside is one of the brands under its umbrella.
Preferring to avoid the spotlight, Sewram has focused on the business end of the restaurant until two years ago, when her partnership with Gina and Graham Neilson ended. The husband and wife team are well known for their expertise in the culinary world and were at the forefront at 9th Avenue until they returned to Australia in 2020 when the Covid-19 pandemic struck.
With Sewram now at the helm of 9th Avenue Waterside, major changes to the restaurant’s focus and direction can be expected. One of the plans already in place is the addition of chef Kayla-Ann Osborn to the 50-person staff. A former executive chef at The Chef’s Table and head chef at Delaire Graff Restaurant, Osborn is bringing her culinary flair to 9th Avenue Waterside. Ideal for: Lunch and dinner, as well weddings and other private events.
