The 50 best breakfast and brunch in Johannesburg

The absolute highlight was them giving us blankets since it was chilly outside 🫠 such a thoughtful touch! The atmosphere had great vibes, and the food was spot on.💯

Very popular with the breakfast and lunch crowd with a very comfy, cozy atmosphere thanks to the blankets and heaters provided in the winter months. We rolled in after a chilly morning spent at the WITS Parkrun and were grateful for the brisk service of getting our hot drinks and food. The breakfast menu is great and well portioned.

Friendly staff and great food and coffee. Sat by the fire and enjoyed a breakfast here. The cafe is in a small shopping enclave.

Cafe Salvation at 44 Stanley is a great Cafe with good food, top service and beautiful ambience. We had egg shashuka and vegan shashuka with fresh fruit juices which were so delicious and enjoyable.

What a great experience! The food was incredible, and the staff were attentive. The cheesecake truly was divine and lived up to the hype.

Good vibes, great food and incredible people. A must visit ✌️

I personally had the Breakfast Nachos, and the kitchen had one thing to get right on my plate. Hot scrambled eggs! They were ice cold. It was incredibly disappointing. The hot chocolate was decadent. Their milk alternative brand is Milk Lab = WIN. The service was rather average. Coffees and hot chocolate's arrived hot, but no check-in after the food was delivered. The brownie was not served warm and I just don't understand that. If it was warm it would probably have been the perfect ooey-gooey consistency. The cheesecake was good, it didn't even need the berries on the side. The carrot pineapple slice was dense, moist and a generous portion. When an establishment has a decent rating, you generally have certain expectations and this visit was a let down.

The food here is very tasty and definitely worth trying. The restaurant is usually busy, which shows how popular it is, but service is quick and efficient. The only downside is that the staff tend to rush you to leave once you’re done, which makes the experience feel a bit hurried.

Charming place for a lovely brunch. Food is on point, service is fast and friendly, and the atmosphere is suited for any occasion - social or business. Would love for the coffee to have a bit more depth.

Excellent coffee, fun breakfast menu with many things I would like to try. The home made tomato relish was the standout for my breakfast, but the eggs were also perfectly pushed and the rye was softly toasted, something not many places get right. I would have made it 5 ✨ if it wasn't for the outside staff who failed to guide us, just saying "sit anywhere",, but we were happy that we pushed on, and inside we were welcomed.

This was my first visit to the place, and I loved it. Whether you prefer a nice coffee or a more relaxed drink, you can enjoy it in this cosy atmosphere. You have the option to sit at a spacious indoor table, by the wide-open windows (as I did), or at a terrace table. The staff are friendly, and the establishment is clean. With a film lab nearby, this charming venue will definitely become a regular stop for me in the near future.

Went for my birthday treat. My banana bread was dry and lacked banana. Moms food was good but won't go back in a hurry. Waiters don't even see if all is ok. I had to ask 3 times for a cuppa

A great brunch spot on a Saturday morning. We were seated outside with the sun shining on us with welcoming staff. We had a pleasure having brunch at the Whippet :)

What a wonderfully run establishment. Very rare to find businesses being run personally by the actual owners! But this is what makes this establishment such a huge success! Friendly staff to greet you and make you feel so welcome from the moment you step in! Service was fantastic, where teamwork between waiters ensures that things run smoothly and your every need is attended to. The food…? Fabulous, delicious, well presented and reasonably priced for the level of quality you get. I had the eggs Benedict with smoked salmon, my dad had the spinach and feta breakfast quiche (photos below). Eggs were perfectly poached to medium as requested and the English muffins were light and tender. Never took a picture of the coffee, cheesecake or the chocolate pastry I had, but they were all just as delicious as the mains. PS the fact that they are pet friendly was an added bonus!!! Thank you for the best breakfast experience ever! Well done to the entire team!

Food amazing, service thoughtful and atmosphere is neighborly. When looking for a place that values their clients and it reflects on all round experience then this is a benchmark. Doesn’t look busy from the outside but it is buzzing with activity. Quaint courtyard or undercover patio. It is all good. Clearly the locals agree. Burgers for breakfast! Let’s go.

Reservations were made, and luckily so as it was extremely busy. We sat in the courtyard and it was extremely noisy due to the large groups in attendance. Service was, prompt, tentative and friendly. Food was average. Rather pricey for portion sizes. Sourdough toast was hard (as if it was toasted twice)but we were given fresh toast when we asked.The vegetarians were happy as they had options to choose from. Parking is in the street so can be difficult to find.

Arbour Café and Courtyard is an absolute gem! The food is absolutely delicious — a solid 10/10. Every dish is crafted with care and bursting with flavour. The ambiance is magical — you truly feel like you’ve been whisked away to a quaint Parisian café, far from the hustle of everyday life. The service is exceptional, warm, and attentive, making the entire experience even more memorable. I’ve completely fallen in love with this place and will definitely be visiting often. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a charming spot with incredible food and atmosphere!

Manager was friendly and smiling. Courtyard is a little bit cramped for the number of tables they have and cater for. Food was quite good and flavourful. I had the grilled rib eye strip baguette. Service is somewhat slow and could be improved. Not a bad experience if you don't mind waiting, but you could get better service elsewhere.

Hidden in a courtyard, this establishment is visited by a trendy crowd. We weren't wowed by our food, but we still enjoyed the experience. Must book for groups bigger than 4.

From the moment we stepped into Arbour Café & Courtyard, we were immediately embraced by the warm and welcoming atmosphere that this hidden gem provides. The inviting courtyard setting served as the perfect backdrop for a breakfast experience that was simply unparalleled. The staff were not only friendly and attentive, but they also displayed a level of professionalism that added to the overall high-quality experience. The highlight of our visit, however, was without a doubt the breakfast. Every dish we tried was a testament to the culinary expertise at Arbour Café. The blend of flavors was an absolute delight, each bite revealing a new layer of complexity that left us yearning for more. The use of fresh, high-quality ingredients was clear, adding an extra dimension of enjoyment to our meal. This breakfast experience at Arbour Café & Courtyard has set a new standard for us, one that will be hard to beat. Five stars well deserved!

Well lit spacious courtyard cafe. Food portions are decent relative to price points. Service staff are friendly. Good for brunch and lunch dining.

What's your idea of breakfast? Some eggs, bacon and toast? Nothing mind blowing and hard to mess up. So I hardly ever go out for breakfasts and would rather save my appetite for lunch. But after going to Nice on 4th, your opinion will be forever changed. Never have I ever been so impressed by a breakfast before. We were warmly greeted on this chilly morning and seated inside the restaurant quite fast. The place was quite packed to begin with. We had some mimosas and milkshakes for drinks. Thereafter followed by our breakfast which consisted of the 2 half and half's. One was the egg and crumpet basket and the other the salmon and crumpet. The savory, sweet and saltiness danced on my palate and sang all the right notes for this symphony of flavour in my mouth. It was just so different from the conventional breakfasts I am used to and pleasantly surprising. Also to mention was the freshly baked croissant that we enjoyed which was light and flaky. The service was fantastic and I didn't have much to complain about. Would I return? Without hesitation!

'A brunch without mimosas is like a day with no fun' what a catchy phrase. This restaurant is quiet the gem. The food was delicious, will be returning to try out note dishes. Super friendly and helpful staff. The restaurant setup has its own identity, very fun.

The atmosphere at the restaurant is lovely. I had a relaxed and comfortable time there. If you like scones, you should definitely try them—they’re really big and fresh. The strawberry bacon pancake felt unusual at first, but it was tastier than I expected. I also tried the egg cup, and like some other reviews mentioned, the bread was a bit disappointing, but the filling and sauce inside were perfect.

We had such a wonderful brunch at Nice on 4th in Parkhurst! The atmosphere is cosy and welcoming, with a lovely charm that makes you want to linger a little longer. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious — beautifully presented and packed with flavour. Every bite tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared, and the coffee was spot-on. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxed weekend brunch or to catch up with friends.

Coffee, Cake, and Good Vibes at Nice on 4th. A friendly and pleasant spot with both indoor and outdoor seating; the atmosphere at Nice on 4th truly lives up to its name. Their cappuccino is amazing, and the cakes and breakfast options are absolutely mouth-watering. Perfect for a casual meeting or catching up on work while treating yourself to a really good cup of coffee.

I've never had a crumpet before but Nice has become my go-to breakfast place whenever I'm staying in the area! What a delicious combination of flavours! The atmosphere is very chill and the staff are super friendly.

It was my first time here & the service was great, there’s so many waiters ready to assist. The vibe is a bit groove & chilled vibes, almost everyone had hubbly on their table. The food was too good.

We stopped by for breakfast and the restaurant was very quiet, almost empty. The menu felt a bit limited for someone who doesn’t eat beef or pork, so I went with the ratatouille. It was decent but nothing special. The dirty chai, however, was really good and the highlight of my visit. Service was quite slow, which didn’t make sense given how unusually quiet the restaurant was at the time. Overall, a lovely space with a calm atmosphere, but the food options could be more inclusive and service more attentive.

Love this place but ordered a slice of my favorite carrot cake on uber eats and it was half the size i usually get. Very disappointing for R125

Is always a great place to relax and have a mimosa , my son and I had lovely meal and drinks , it’s very crowded though , however it’s always easy to get a table … My last visit there was unfortunate as I was charged for drinks that I didn’t order , and wasn’t served… Will return though however it’s very important to always check your bill !

We went in for breakfast on Saturday morning. The restaurant was fairly empty but did start to fill up. We ordered 2 dirty chais but the waitor only placed one order so we had to wait while they made the other drink. For breakfast, I eggs Benedict with a side of chicken breast. The food was tasty and there was a generous helping of hollandaise sauce. The wilted spinach was not to my liking but this would be personal preference. The decor and food were nice but the service let them down.

Lovely menu, could be a little expensive for some people,but it's Hyde Park. Service was good and food was prepared and presented as requested. Portion sizes could have been a little bit bigger. Lebo serviced us alright.

Le Parc by Tashas at Hyde Park combines a beautiful setting with a Parisian feel. The menu is inventive, breakfast is delicious, and the staff are warm and welcoming. And if you wonder what a salmon trout is – it’s rainbow trout, with a look similar to salmon.

Chicken schnitzel sandwich was stodgy and drowned in saucy salad. Hot dog sausage was fine. Roll and onion rings were stale. Service was excellent. Nearly R500 bill for 2 sandwiches and water.

Consistently good food. Everything on the menu is well thought out and always seems to be freshly made. Coffee is also great. Service is consistently good as well. Probably been there at least 5 times this year alone. Worth ordering from the specials board because you can sometimes find really unique dishes.

Enjoyed a wonderful lunch with family for mom's birthday. Jay our server was fantastic... the Food... WOW everyone enjoyed... from Fillet Wraps, .meatball sandwich, chicken skewers, beef burger, haloumi salad, chicken bowl and Mediterranean chicken... every meal was beautifully prepared and presented as a fresh art piece... thank you. Will do this more often.

Always delicios breakfast. My favourite being the hot corn stack. Freshly squeezed orange juice however should be served withput ice or atleast ask if we want ice in the fruit juice. Service is good. Ample parking. Wheelchair accessible.

Cafe Billibi is always exceptional! I'd been craving a really delicious steak, and they didnt disappoint with this perfectly cooked ribeye steak and creamy peppercorn sauce, on a bed of crisp, pan fried vegetables and smashed potatoes. You really hit it out the ballpark with this one!! The staff are amazing, the atmosphere is stunning, and overall it's always a wonderful experience!! ❤️

This venue is conveniently situated in Greenstone Park, which forms part of the Greenstone business hub, eadily accessibile from major roures such as the R25 and N3. Parking is plentiful and free (!!!). Being in a strip mall, there is not much atmosphere, but the venue is spacious and airy. Prices are reasonable and the menu is quite diverse. I enjoy a good toasted sandwich, and the chicken mayo did not disappoint. This venue is great for casual business meetings ir breakfast or lunch with friends. Highly recommended.

The place first of all is refreshing, very clean and breath taking. The food was very nice, would definitely call again. I had went there to try new meal and wooooooow no regrets at all. The staff was great and kindly. I really had a great late breakfast date with my husband.

It may be true that some of the best places are found by accident. Went there for breakfast. Was fairly busy for a weekday morning. Atmosphere is great as it is a small cafe that looks and feels like a small cafe. The staff are amazing, friendly, attentive and don't overdo or underdo their service. The coffee was good but the part that makes me give it 5 stars is the food. We ordered the hot cake breakfast and the salmon sandwich. Both made amazingly well. Fantastic flavours and presentation fit for a more expensive place. Everything was so well made. Definitely a must go spot.

Hired the cafe for an event and the staff was wonderful. Efficient! Friendly. Very professional and communicative. They willingly changed the entire arrangement on the day and the set up plus cleanup after was fantastically fast. Enjoyed the service of the space, including sound, catering, extra space made available for a creative corner. And the sunny, cosy feel of the venue is a great perk. They don't have parking but provide guards. Lovely experience overall.

Very lovely coffee shop, has both inside outdoor seating, minimalistic design, and a feel-good vibe. What topped my experience was the coffee art! Made it look spectacular 🙌 the 2 ladies one a the batista and the othe a chef were very friendly and social felt like I belong. Thanks definitely will be a regular here.

A blessed return to coffee shops that have real character - no twee Instagram letterboards in sight. All the plants are real (and the succulents in the courtyard are truly splendid) and the staff are so lovely and welcoming. I felt like I had returned to the Melville of my youth - the pressed ceilings, the authentic people, the absence of annoying influencers. Splendid, splendid, splendid 👌

Attended an after hours event here. Overall it wasn't terrible and I'd want to experience normal dining at another time. But the service wasn't that great. And the arrangement wasn't good either since we were holding our bowls of food and glasses and afterwards there wasn't anywhere to put it down on/ waiters walking around to clear. That said their wedges were delicious- crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Great restaurant. Wonderful staff. Exquisite food. Coming back again

What a delightful gem to have been introduced to today. Under clear blue winter skies tucked into a corner inside where sun could reach us, we dined on beautifully presented simple fare. I had cold pressed fruit juice and their coffee later. Both wonderful. The food was a sandwich (2 open slices of Rye) topped with avocado and grilled halloumi. They provided home made mayonnaise (delicious - if not as tangy as bought) which I found complemented the accompanying potato wedges as well! To be tucked away in a side street of Brixton, wonderful atmosphere and surroundings, I am definitely back there any time an opportunity arises. I have to say well done! 👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻‼😃

Mantis and the team at Breezeblock are phenomenal. I recently held a party at the venue, their warmth and professionalism was above and beyond. From welcome drinks and canapes, to keeping their kitchens open for our guests, the food and drinks were really great. The space was inviting and so many guests complimented the feel of it. I would highly recommend reaching out to this venue to anyone wanting to host an event. I'd give 10 stars if I could.

The Fat Zebra is located in 71 7th St, Linden, Randburg, 2195. The desserts were the highlight for me more than the lunch menu. We ordered crème brûlée with a torched crust, cheesecake with caramel popcorn scattered on the plate, pavlova served with strawberries and cream was delectable and the brownies and ice- cream was a hit at our table but unfortunately they ran out and could not serve more than 2 people with this option. We enjoyed complimentary ice- cream for the birthday lady in a pleasant atmosphere.

I had a good experience my partner not so much, I’ve been here before and had better experiences, just reviewing this one. I still recommend it, experiences differ. I enjoyed my dish. I ordered The Cowboy it was a hearty meal and a sizeable portion which I didn’t finish.The place has good vibes perfect for breakfast and brunch everyone always looks like they coming from some form of exercise lol.That day service took long, it was mid month so maybe they under calculated their staffing. My partner had the creamy ciabatta with egg she was disappointed as her egg wasn’t to her liking and little was done to resolve that which knocked the service. It’s Affordable . My meal was R105 and a big portion my partners R70

This was my second time visiting The Fat Zebra and the experience was amazing once again. The Chicken Parm is absolutely delicious. Cocktails are really good too. Located in vibey Parkhurst, the location is great.

Fantastic brunch spot with a relaxed vibe and amazing food. The real challenge? Choosing between the Benedict and the crumpets.

What a lovely, intimate and refreshing little restaurant. Our new go to place for breakfasts. Hubby loved the extra large cappuccino.

Lovely hidden gem in Linden. Lovely vibe and good food. Oh and the coffee is amazing. Fat Zebra makes my top 5 list of places to eat.

Well done guys! That was a delicious breakfast. Great coffee and really lovely flavors. My only complaints were not enough syrup on the waffles when they claim to be 'soaked' and creme fraiche on the flapjacks was no where to be found. Don't be shy with that stuff! Presentation was a 10.

Have only just discovered Glenda’s in Hyde Square! Fabulous atmosphere, lovely staff and delicious food . I had the banting eggs benedict & green juice, both of which were delicious! My friend had a toasted cheese which also looked delicious. I won’t even get started on the cakes …! Yum!

Dinner date with May. First visit for both of us. Beautifully decorated restaurant with colorful walls curated cleverly with flowery wallpaper in certain areas. The staff was very friendly and on top of their duties all evening, serving with a smile and knowledge of the menu. We were surprised with cheese puffs( on the house) to kick off the evening. We enjoyed our evening, and the food was good and portions generous.

From the moment we walked into Glenda’s, we were warmly welcomed with complimentary drinks that instantly set the tone for a great Birthday breakfast. It’s rare to find a place that blends charm, comfort, and elegance so effortlessly, but Glenda’s manages to do just that. The food was absolutely delicious, thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. Each dish felt like it was made with intention and care, and it’s clear the kitchen takes pride in what they serve. Our experience was made even better thanks to the exceptional service from our waiter, Samuel. He was attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly taken care of throughout our visit. It’s not often that service stands out this much, but Samuel was a real highlight of the morning. Glenda’s is definitely a place I’d recommend for anyone looking for great food, warm hospitality, and an overall memorable dining experience.

This place is beautiful, the ambiance and also the food was so tasty. The owner, Glenda, is a beautiful person. The staff was super friendly and their service was out of this world. I had a hot salmon salad and I thoroughly enjoyed it, let me not forget the reasonable prices of food and drinks. Location is perfect if you are look for a serene and easy to access place.

Glenda’s is my go-to local where I take people that I like! I am never disappointed by the eclectic and colorful furnishing or the warm “come in, sit down and get a load off” greeting or the always excellently prepared food and libations on offer. When Claudia flies from the USA to visit, when Mr Jane needs an oasis to fuel his creative spirit, or when I simply need a friendly place for a get-it-off-your-chest chat with Pinky, then Glenda’s is a no-Brainer. Nhlanhla will remember your favourite drinks and preferred dishes and Baba always has time to check on your wellbeing. Service is slick and the specials board a lovely surprise, usually of seafood in season. The preparation of the sea bass is sublime and the mussels in wine so very fresh and more-ish. Sunday lunches are reminiscent of childhood with roast chicken, crispy pork belly, a glass of bubbly and the ring of warm laughter. Talking about bubbly, you can order by the glass! Good wine by the glass? Definitely. Not forgetting the cocktails and Glenda’s special margarita. Yes! But be warned, it has a kick like a mule. Cakes are an interestingly diverse selection. The petit fours are divine, and the pastry chef knows her choux from her short. All kinds of brownies and sometimes fruit bread too depending on availability. Try them all!

The reason they lose 2 stars is due to the service received. It was a quiet morning and the welcome was pleasant, however the waitress who eventually served us was not up to standard. She was very robot like not showing any emotion whatsoever. When we asked her to return to take our orders, she took forever and had to keep on trying to get her attention. Eventually when she came we placed orders and I was very clear on the type of eggs I wanted. The wait time was a bit long I felt and eventually when the food came, my eggs were opposite to what I wanted. I asked for Sunnyside up eggs but I got over easy. The waitress was careless in serving me what I didn't want and only after explaining to her what she should have done in the first place, she offered to remake , but i didn't want to wait another 10 minutes so just ate them as it came. My wife on the other hand enjoyed her meal so as for the quality of food, comfort of the restaurant, ambiance, and decor, this rating should have been 5 star.

I always Glenda’s tricky. It’s always a mixed experience. Lovely setting but poor service especially when you sit outside. I always expect a premium experience but basic expectations aren’t met like prompt service or frequent check-ins. The food was decent. The fish cake was delicious. And the pancakes afterwards was lovely. The asparagus, eggs and truffle was just okay. But sitting outside in the sun and people watching is always welcome. Slowing down the pace of life just a few meters from a fast paced Jan Smuts Avenue.

What a beautiful setting, couldn't believe that a place like this exists where it does. The setting can be used for date nights or any small functions including wedding. Staff was friendly and food was good.

Tastefully presented dishes with substance. Enjoyed a delicious breakfast of oak smoked salmon benedict and Turkish eggs and ended with a decadent chocolate cake and baklava cheesecake. Despite the usual Saturday morning parkrun rush, service was attentive and food arrived in good time.

Old school, quality dining at its very best. Everything from authentic leather menus, to creaking wooden floors, to pressed ceilings. The prices are above average. The quality, service and experience though, are world class.

We had a Sunday brunch there. What a lovely morning under the trees. It felt like we were in the country at an old manor house. Plus, you get to walk the campus a little if you choose. And if you didn't go to Wits but are older than a certain age, you may even be able to feel like you were walking under the cable car of the Rand Easter show up to watch Gonda Betrix at the grand stand.

Olives and Plates is one of those rare places that gets everything right — ambiance, food, service, and that elusive touch of soul that makes you want to come back before you’ve even left. Tucked away amidst the historic charm of Wits University and scattered across a few beautiful locations in Johannesburg, this café-restaurant hybrid offers a Mediterranean-inspired menu that’s both generous and thoughtful. Whether you’re grabbing a quick smoothie, settling in for a long lunch, or hosting a celebration, it feels effortlessly elegant without ever being pretentious. Let’s talk about the food — absolutely stellar. Their Mediterranean mezze platters are vibrant and fresh, and the lamb shank is slow-cooked to perfection, falling off the bone in the most satisfying way. Vegetarians and vegans aren’t an afterthought here either; dishes like the roasted vegetable couscous and quinoa salad are packed with flavor and creativity. And don’t get me started on their desserts — the baklava and honeycomb cheesecake are indulgent enough to write home about. The setting is equally impressive: think lush greenery, white-washed walls, and a peaceful, almost European courtyard vibe that makes it feel like a mini escape from the hustle of Joburg. Every detail — from the crockery to the decor — is curated with care. Staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in your experience. Even during busy times, service feels personal and unrushed. Whether you're a Joburg local or just passing through, Olives and Plates is more than just a restaurant — it’s an experience. One that leaves you full, happy, and already planning your next visit.

Booked the high tea at Olives & Plates Wits Club and it was exceptional. Amazing flower arrangements, table linen and Royal Albert china. The food was expertly crafted works of art. Highly recommend for any celebration or just a high-end treat.

What a stunning place , so cute and beautiful for a sit down and conversation with your girls or family ,outdoor is the best sitting ,Went for a baby shower which we got the high tea /bubbles option. Bubbles were flowing, cakes and sandwiches were delish.

Charming aesthetics but the food was unfortunately subpar. We had a nice breakfast but that’s difficult to go wrong. Dinner was a letdown, the burrata is minuscule in portion, and the steaks - we initially ordered a T Bone but had that returned as it was extremely chewy and sinewy, felt like freezer burn. Replaced it with a picanha but that too was badly charred and dry.

Great restaurant, came here because we know Chef Sean.T. Service was great. Food is amazing. Atmosphere on a Thursday night was upbeats and good vibes. Cocktails are unreal and super tasty. For non-alcoholic drinks I recommend the berry one. Once again compliments to chef Sean.T

I got to choose 1 meal in JoBurg and I’m glad I chose PM. Food was outstanding- each dish intentional and creative. The bar menu is massive with loads of SA wines. The atmosphere at noon was calm but i could see this being loads of fun in evenings. Service was friendly. Highly recommend.

Ordered a few plates to share. Food was flavourful and had a unique taste. Portions were a bit on the small side but quality. Nice visit but you could get better food for half the price. Go for the experience though

The food has been amazing. The servings massive. We’ve tried dining in, room service, cafe, breakfast. It’s all been delicious! I would only recommend saying that you want the bacon extra crispy coz if not it can be a bit soggy. The price is also great for the quality. But then again we are coming from Switzerland so everything is a great deal here. Especially the prawns! PEUGOT salt and pepper grinders are a nice touch. They are the original inventors of the modern S&P grinders.

The burrata salad with raspberry dressing was really delicious ! The fillet steak was good but not incredible. I definitely recommend and will be back. It would be better if the restaurant had a wider selection of range by the bottle, there are many choices but they’re all in the same price range 100-140R. It would be nice if they had a few more special options by the glass

The place is absolutely stunning. The interior is truly beautiful, perfect place for a special occasion. The vibe is just wonderful. The food was just above average, I was expecting better. I had two small plates and fries. The lamb was okay. The pork was good. Overall had a lovely experience. Enjoyed the mocktail

I ordered the hake. It was covered in thick better. And it tasted like it was boiled for a very long time.Food was surprisingly inexpensive. Waiters took ages to bring condiments. But they were real friendly. It's aesthetically pleasing.

Bheki was a great help, he always mate sure everything was good and food was made quickly and it was great. Plating was amazing and the classic eggs Benedict was to the T.

Our waiters name was Eddie. He provided us with such professional service and the most delicious coffee and cake. I would come here time and time again ! Thank you Pablo restaurant

Our waiter, HAPPY. Always attends to us during our stays at Mint Hotel. Very attentive, kind, and always assures us that we are leaving happy customers. Shout out to Pablo and their amazing staff.

OMG!!! WHERE DO I BEGIN????!!! GREAT SERVICE!!! Our waiter Bheki was very patient with us and checked up on us to make sure we are okay and stay relaxed!! Brian (who is behind the bar) made such amazing beverages!!! Katherine you are on to something!!!!!! 🔥

We hosted a close friends birthday here. It was 13 guests. I'm not sure if they've catered for a large group before because there were some issues with our orders (forgetting a drink & meal here and there), however was compensated with how awesome the waiters were they were ready to jump and serve when called. The pizza with avo and beef was very delicious but the chicken wings were a little dry and bland. The ribs were saucy and tender, very delicious and the chips were well prepared. The long island had a good balance too. They moved the furniture around for us, we played games, music was adjusted when we needed to have it adjust. Beautiful experience and lovely atmosphere and beautiful views.

The Food Was Awesome, The Venue has that Ambience. Khaya served us with a great smile. She deserves a raise.

Been wanting to try this place for about 3 years. My thoughts as follows:: What a charming little bakery, early morning sun peeping through the large windows makes for a delightful atmosphere. Other than the locals that quickly stop here for an early morning take-away coffee and pastry, so be there early to ensure you don't loose out; there is a wonderful, quiet indoor seating area for a sit-down meal too. My ratings on the baked goods:: Baguette - 10/10 (better than Woolies) Custard puff - 10/10 (my favourite) Almond Croissant - 10/10 nice surprise to have marzipan in the middle. Ham & Cheese Croissant- 10/10 (needs to be warmed up a little at home though) Pan au raisin - 9.5/10 Peach Danish - 9/10 (The large peach is quite daunting to eat. Perhaps one could find a way to thinly slice the peach, lay across the danish and use blow torch to caramelize?) Cheese Croissant - 9/10 (just warm up at home) Chocolate Croissant - 8.5/10 (more of a Nutella tasting chocolate inside, which is nice, other than the "traditional") Plain Butter Croissant - 7.5/10 (fresh and decent size, but lacked the buttery flavour and flaky/laminated/airy pastry. Texture was more like a roll) Pain au chocolat - 6/10 (pretty dry and lacked flavour) Prices are reasonable.

Needed a cake fix. Popped down to Mackay Street In Blairgowrie for a take out this morning. Tastebud explosion - yowzer - yet to find a Lemon Meringue better than Paul’s from Patisserie de Paris. And the portion was huge! Blueberry Cheesecake also excellent. Did I mention the croissants - ‘demolished’ before taking a photo 😋 - yowzer (again) #supportlocalbusiness

Popped in just to grab-and-go on a few paistry classics. So impressed with both the variety and the quality of items on offer. I was greeted with a warm 'good morning' and served with a smile. Couldn't be happier. P.S. check out those layers! 🤌🏼❤️

I'd definitely recommend this restaurant to friends and family with an appetite for European food. The unique decor gives the place a friendly, French ambience. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The food was served simply, but appetisingly and creatively. I loved the beautifully, neat cursive in which the menu was written on a large blackboard. The only unfortunate experience was the waiter forgot to bring cold milk for my husband's coffee on both occasions. However, he was quick to bring it when reminded to do so. The service was good considering the restaurant was busy due to it being Mother's Day.

un magnifique petit déjeuner 🥐🌟 Great service, amazing atmosphere, exceptional food. Well worth the stop. Elegant in its simplicity, from the background music to the specialist deli items, just enough to take you to foreign destination. Fairly priced, next time I’ll try the famous baked cheesecake, but my Lyon breakfast was truly delicious, thank you!

Went out to enjoy a pre valentines breakfast with a French style. So I was not as too impressed but it was nice-ich morning out. The music was a bit morbid, and my croque monsieur was not as nice as I would have hoped, too rich and heavy. My wife, however, did enjoy the quiche and the cute bowls of salad and chips. For R50, she had a full meal. Their bakery was small, but it looked so yummy. The Chocolate Croissants was extremely yummy.

A slice of Paris in the Northern Suburbs of Johannesburg. Patisserie de Paris as the name suggests is a Pastry Shop/Bakery in Blairgowrie. The establishment is in a residential area and from the decor looks to be a bit dated which adds to the charm of the place. The bakery has pink walls with some graffiti pointing to days and memories of sitting under an umbrella sipping coffee and enjoying a Croissant while watching people in Paris. The bakery offers a range of baked goods including cakes, croissants, tarts, rolls etc. I saw the establishment is very popular for breakfast with patrons enjoying beautifully plated food. I was also impressed by the number of people dropping by to pick up their daily bread and other baked goods. The gig workers from Uber and Mr D were also making multiple rounds of the establishment. It’s impossible to try all the baked goods on offer so tried a few including their croissants and a pain au raisin and a peach tart. Everything was superb in my opinion. Service was friendly and food came out quick. If you’re sitting inside they also have a book shelf to enjoy a book while waiting for your food. The bakery is licensed and offers a selection of alcoholic drinks. On Sundays they offer bottomless mimosas for R 175. They also have a small pop up at Bryanston Organic Market on Saturday and Thursday with a limited selection of their baked goods. Parking on the street is free but a little limited. Highly recommended for a visit or two to savour their baked goods

My beautiful friends hosted the most exquisite baby shower for me yesterday and it was absolutely a delight at Gia's! I've never been here before but will definitely be back! The food was exceptional! And I can't fault the service either!

Nice setting next to the nursery with its own small little garden with water bowls for dogs. The tables are a little bit too wobbly so some spills are inevitable with your coffee. The breakfast was well presented.

Casual coffee shop vibe, they are busy with a play area for. Cosy atmosphere, garden seating. A bit of nature in Sandton. Food is good, caters for most palates, about 6 vegetarian dishes.

I'll start with the witty menu, because of the pop culture references. Because they missed the opportunity to name the eggs Benedict (Cumberbatch) but if you're old enough you'll get the references to Jane Fonda etc. What a lovely setting for a light meal! We got a table and parasol outside amongst the manicured hedges and grapevines, but you can choose to eat inside the bright and airy cafe if that's more your style. Service is great, friendly and efficient. What really captured my eye was the plating and attention to detail of the food. I haven't seen flower shaped fried eggs anywhere else and the hollandaise sauce on my eggs Benedict was absolutely perfect, in texture and flavour. The atmosphere is definitely giving 'stay as long as you please' as there is a well stocked bookshelf, free WiFi and places for you to plug in your devices. If you're more interested in the nursery, you could spend a few good hours there too.

The food was tasty and the coffee was so good it felt like I finished it in one slurp. Their homemade food is delicious and the surrounding nursery is incredibly beautiful. I had the burger and although it was very tasty, I found that the bun got very soggy and lost its structure very quickly. Other than that it was a good meal and I enjoyed the environment. Staff were also friendly.

Absolutely wonderful for both kids and adults too. Outside area is super peaceful. Pizza’s are amazing and I would rather support a family operated business than a chain group.

My friend and I visited Gia's on Montrose on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Upon entering there is a nursery with a variety of plants and flowers to choose from. My mum would love it. The weather was weathering, lol. I love the outdoor setup and the distance between the tables in the garden is perfect. We enjoyed the peaceful ambience. The tables are terrible. I ordered the Lamb Chops and my friend had the Chicken and Mayo Tramazzini. The food was just good and the overall service was okay.

Don’t be deceived by the tables being occupied outside. There is sufficient space inside too. My new favorite shakshuka destination and my wife had the veggie breakfast. Great food. Amazing value for money and really good service. If there is one down side, that would be the seating for two people is rather cramped. This place is busy and every bit of space is utilized But once you sit down and get your food you quickly forget about the other people around you and you get down to business.

Lovely shatsuka and coffee after arriving from the UK. Efficient and friendly service. Highly recommended. Went several times. Never disappointed!

The worst I have ever been treated by staff in my entire dining experience. The cafe closes at 15:00. We walked in at 14:30 - unaware of their closing time. We were ushered in but told we can only order from the drinks menu as the kitchen is closed. This was not the problem as we only wanted something to drink. However, the staff treated us as an absolute burden. Our drinks were ordered with barely any time given to choose, not even five minutes. We were served by three separate waitresses each with an equally bad attitude and manurism. Closing etiquette clearly does not exist at this establishment - whatever you do don't go after 14:00. Our bill was brought to us without us asking for it. The waitress rushed off before we could even ask her for a takeaway cup for one of our drinks. I have never been met with so much animosity by staff - worst experience of my life.

This is the most incredible cafe with fantastic atmosphere in a beautiful neighbourhood. The food is always fresh and delicious. Staff are so friendly and efficient. Love this place!!!

Great atmosphere. Good place to sit and work while having your coffee or tea. The food is great too with good portions. They also open by 6 am.

Croft & Co is the quintessential coffee stop for any cyclist or runner in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg. They are open from 5am during the week, which makes a convenient stop for cyclists and runners to grab a cup of coffee before heading home. Additionally, your bike is expertly guarded by Brian who also offers a wash service on weekends. It's a fantastic restaurant with tables that look out on to the beautiful leafy streets surrounding the Zoo Lake area. The coffee is fantastic and they also do a delicious chocolate milkshake. The banana bread (ask for it to be extra toasty - trust me on this one) is spectacular. The rest of the menu is also superb with the breakfast burger and breakfast bun being firm favourites. Friendly service, always with a smile. The energy of the owners is also infectious. It's just a lekker place to be. Simply put, in Johannesburg, no one does the early morning café stop like Croft & Co. An absolute institution.

Love the decor which is a mixture of steam punk and antiques. A wide menu with delicious food and very friendly service. A nice pub area too. Loved it. A good place for breakfast, lunch, tea or spending a happy afternoon.

Spilt Milk is a must-visit spot. The workers are incredibly friendly, which makes for a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience. The meals are amazing and super delicious, with the breakfast waffle being a personal favorite. The backyard sitting area is perfect for friend groups, with its relaxed atmosphere and comfortable seating. It's a great spot for working or studying with fast, unlimited WiFi and charging ports. The cafe is surprisingly quiet, making it a conducive environment for productivity. Overall, Spilt Milk is a great spot for a delicious meal, friendly service, and a peaceful ambiance. I highly recommend it.

Their drinks are really good and affordable. Food was okay. Didn't enjoy the wrap as it kept falling apart and the pineapple salsa didn't taste fresh . My friend enjoyed their avo bagel. Enjoyed the dessert most. We got it on the house as thr waiter forgot to put the order in and we waited a long time. Appreciated the gesture. Great service from the young gentleman.

We were very excited to try out this spot because of the other reviews but we left disappointed. The service was slow despite the place not being very busy, there was no communication from the staff on food delays or substitutions and the food itself was just average. Perhaps the breakfast or dinner slots are a better time to go, lesson learned.

We went on a very quiet Monday afternoon, but the service was incredibly slow. I waited 15 minutes for my order to be taken, and the food took yet another 20-25 minutes. What was confusing is that our food came out at the same time as a couple that had only arrived 10 minutes ago. The food was good, but the patty on my burger was a bit underseasoned - nothing a crack of salt & pepper couldn't fix though. I LOVED the courtyard, very beautiful and rustic setting. It's a perfect spot for breakfast and lunch. Overall not a bad experience

Such a cute and awesome little cafe! Not only is the food good, it so is, but the whole atmosphere has this welcoming vibe that's so hard to find these days and the staff have a genuine friendliness that made even this first timer feel welcomed and part of the family! A true gem!

This place serves amazing breakfast and it is really affordable. The service was impeccable, the food was really fresh. Our waiter recommended the sour dough toast and I had never tried it before, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Really a great space for group and family outings.

Today was my first time, first viewed on Instagram. It has a vintage appeal, staff with a great sense of humour, I had as a starter a Macadamia Cortado double shot espresso, divine and for mains the Spilt Burger bunless with a side salad. The pictures did not lie the real thing was even better. Centrally situated in Mellville. If you haven't tried, try you must. I look forward to returning and trying some of the other goodies on offer. Thank you Spilt Milk for an enjoyable experience.

The place is cute and staff is super friendly! The menu is super limited, there is no vegan option unless you insist to change something in the original menu. Restricted mocktail options, too. The view is stunning. If you have any dietary restrictions, eat before going there. It’s a nice place to hang out!

We went to eat out . Great place people friendly environment. Only issue the chips fried in beef tallow . Definitely a no no. Please consider cooking oil as some clients dont consome beef and beef related products . Extremely helpful and friendly staff.

Pablo House has a great location and is beautifully and creatively decorated — a really charming place to stay. The breakfast was excellent, with the best shakshuka I’ve ever had. A couple of small notes: it would be nice to have air conditioning in all rooms, and for the bathroom to have a door to keep the smell contained. We stayed in Room 6, which was lovely but required climbing quite a few stairs with luggage since there’s no elevator. Overall, a very enjoyable stay with fantastic food and atmosphere.

parking is a pickle. the view at restuarant is amazing. food very affordable and quite good not the best but good. will definitely be making my way back here.

Beautiful views. The service was exceptional. Our starters and mains were very good. Out deserts were disastrous! Our first batch of brownies were burnt to a crisp and still arribed at our table. Our second batch were just short of burnt, so mildly better The bathroom situation isn't great either. The menu is also very overpriced. Overall a rating of 3 is fair based on our experience.

I was very disappointed with this restaurant. We went there to celebrate my birthday, and the experience was underwhelming. The food is exorbitantly priced for the quality you receive. We ordered lamb chops, which were unappetising and bland. We ended up wasting a lot of money on food that was far from enjoyable. You can imagine the disappointment in all of this. To make matters worse, the restaurant only has one toilet for all guests, which is quite inconvenient.

Best kept secret in Joburg! Incredible food, friendly and professional staff, unbelievable views and the perfect ambiance. It's always our go to place for a celebratory dinner. Keep it up guys.. we need places like this to stay!

Pantry by Marble at Rosebank is a vibrant, stylish spot that blends the feel of a gourmet grocer with a modern café. The space is beautifully designed, bright, and inviting, making it as much a place to linger as it is to shop or dine. The food is fresh, creative, and consistently well-executed — from pastries and light bites to heartier mains, everything carries a touch of refinement. Service is warm and efficient, and the overall vibe strikes a nice balance between casual and upscale. A great choice whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee, enjoying a leisurely meal, or picking up something special to take home.

These burgers are the best I've had - the standard beef burger. Let me not waste time saying that! They use fresh ingredients - but it's not bland. The sauce needs to be bottled and sold! Those sweet and savoury chips slap! Have to try other menu items now. Anyway, live the casual vibe here and that you can get anything and if you are dressed up and change your mind you can call for a reservation and head up to Marble restaurant if it's not peak time. Have tried the pastries with a previous visit, wouldn't try again but would eat that burger EVERYTIME I craved a burger. If you struggle to park, go around the block and go down stairs.

⭐ General Overview If you’re ever in Rosebank and want to step into a space that feels like a curated Pinterest board come to life, Pantry by Marble is it. Located right at the Sasol Filling Station on Jan Smuts Ave, this spot is effortlessly chic, modern, and a total gem whether you’re grabbing something on the go or sitting down for a quick break. They offer a wide variety of options, from fresh pastries and artisanal sandwiches to smoothies, milkshakes, and hot drinks. It’s a space that works for everyone — solo visits, coffee catch-ups, or quick family stops. The only drawback is the parking — since it’s at a petrol station, parking is limited and can be tricky, especially during peak times. I didn’t drive on the day I visited, but I could see how finding a spot might take a bit of patience. ⸻ 🌿 Atmosphere The atmosphere is one of the biggest highlights. It’s aesthetically beautiful — clean, curated, and designed with intention. Think minimalist elegance with warm, welcoming touches. It has a calm but stylish energy that makes it feel like an escape, even though it’s tucked inside a busy service station. Whether you’re sitting inside or just browsing the shelves, it feels elevated. Definitely a space you’ll want to take pictures in — and maybe a few selfies while you’re at it. ⸻ 🍽️ Food & Drinks The food selection is impressive for such a compact space. They’ve got: • Freshly made sandwiches and wraps • Pastries and baked goods • Ice cream for a sweet treat • Smoothies, milkshakes, and a selection of hot drinks It’s ideal for a light bite, a coffee run, or even picking up something quick before hitting the road. Everything looked fresh and thoughtfully put together. Presentation is a big deal here — and they do it well. ⸻ 🤝 Service Service was friendly and efficient. Despite the flow of people coming in and out, the staff handled things with ease. I felt welcomed, and even though it’s a “grab-and-go” type of setup, there’s a sense of calm and care in how everything’s run. ⸻ 👶🏽 Kid-Friendliness Surprisingly kid-friendly! The ice cream counter alone makes it a hit with little ones, and the layout is easy to navigate even with a stroller or toddler in tow. It’s not a play space, but it’s inviting enough for a quick stop with kids — and the sweet treats don’t hurt either. ⸻ 🥛 Dietary Restrictions One thing to note — they didn’t have non-dairy options available when I visited. This was a bit of a letdown, especially since so many people are either lactose-intolerant or dairy-free by choice these days. If you’re vegan or avoiding dairy, your drink options may be limited, so keep that in mind when planning a visit. ⸻ Final Thoughts Would I go back? Absolutely. Already planning my next visit. It’s a stylish, well-thought-out spot that brings a little luxury to everyday stops. Just be prepared for parking challenges and maybe call ahead to check on non-dairy options if that’s a need. ✔️ Aesthetic & beautiful ✔️ Variety of food and drink options ✔️ Ice cream = kid-approved ✖️ Parking is a challenge ✖️ No dairy-free milk options (yet)

It’s a unique garage shop with lots of delicious food, desserts etc. The atmosphere is great and it’s busy. Parking was a bit of challenge to find but it’s on Keyes ave if you can’t find a spot in the garage area. We went during a weekend so with the offices near by, it may be busier during the week.

What a lovely store! Phenomenal staff and quick service. Would love some Halaal or vegan options in future. Expand to Cape Town please!

The world of modern retail is changing as we speak. Decades ago retailers had the power. Today it is consumers who have the power. The power to shop what we like, whenever we like, wherever we like, be it on our couches watching TV! Myself, together with my circle of family and friends visit stores for the experience. Being emotional shoppers, we are navigated by knowledgeable individuals who take the time to build and create deeper connections with us as shoppers. Many people do not realize that by turning customers into local advocates we end up paying more for the exceptional service and seamlessness. I am from Cape Town and visited your Pantry store a few days ago for the very first time. I was approached by Mohamed who im sure could tell by our body language that we were new and didn't know where to begin. He introduced himself as a Manager of the store and for our first time recommended what he called a "holistic Approach" to the store visit. Being an absolute master of the entire product range, right down to the ingredients, he started asking probing questions to enable him to make suitable offerings and recommendations. He started by taking us to the pasty section and gave us each a complimentary Lulu. He advised that this is one of the top iconic items of the store and customers buy these by the dozen. We were taken aback by the light fluffiness and ordered 12 of those. Next he took us to the Marble Foccacia and insisted we dipped it in your in-house lemon garlic butter and olive oil. Mohamed ensured the 2 we took were wrapped up properly in cling wrap. He even advised that because it has been sliced, it can be placed in zip lock bags and will be just as fresh when ready to use kn lightly toasting it. The pistacio croissants were up next and once again He insisted we had one on the house. He promised that these were the tastiest item on that table and truth be told, they really were. We took 6 of them! We asked about one or 2 other items and this is what awed me, Mohamed politely said "Ma'am , I haven't tasted that however I have noticed that customers tend to not purchase it as much or 'i have tired them, however I personally would rather go for something else. Authentic selling is a rare find in retail. And the significance of authentic selling is so underrated. We as customers trust, value and appreciate you more by selling with your heart. Mohamed is one such individual who sells with his heart. Not for any profitable gain, but for the pure enjoyment of the customer looking to be amazed and tantalized. He took us on a story telling of the wood fired pizza from the flour to the milling to the mozzarella and why its the most Italian tasting pizza you will taste in JHB. We were then brought small scoops of your famous Dubai icecream with the sauce which was the highlight of our visit. Mohamed insisted we take home a Tony's Chocolate and Hazelnut bar, of which he gave a money back guarantee , promising it was the best I would have tasted... all the way from Belgium. And indeed it was. These are the experiences I live for. The experiences that linger, the experiences Im excited to relate to others. Well Done Mohamed! You touched and captivated me like no one before!

What an incredible experience! From the best pizzas to the amazing coffee and ice cream. Everything was exceptional. But what truly made the visit memorable was the staff and the atmosphere they create. Everyone is so friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. You can really feel the team spirit, from the managers who personally check in to make sure everything’s perfect, to the staff who go above and beyond. A special shoutout to Nadia!!!!🌞🥳 an absolute gem with the brightest smile! She goes out of her way to make every visit special. Thank you for such a wonderful experience . easily one of the best places in Joburg! 🌟🍕☕🍦

Goddess Cafe is Pink. Everything is very pink. The coffee and cake is good. Not average, no, they exceeded. The food is a decent portion and full of flavor. I can imagine my partner enjoy a Bachelorette party or birthday celebration at Goddess. Keep up the great service and welcoming atmosphere. See you again.

What a wonderful place with special staff! Great coffee! Celebrated a special Goddess Oracle card deck artist friends birthday there and it was so stunning! She is Queen of finding the goddess in each person! She is an artist of goddesses And is goddess blaze herself! So it was the perfect place to celebrate her!

It was our 2nd visit on a Sunday and it was just as excellent as the first. The drinks come in different colours and taste divine. The waitresses are super friendly and brought our orders quickly. The food was absolutely delicious!! And the decor I'd amazing. We ordered the cookie dough for my granddaughter and she had a blast rolling out the dough and making her own cookies, which were then baked by te kitchen. She had such a good time. Great way to keep kids entertained. Well done owners and staff for running such a gem!

The prettiest spot for breakfast or lunch catching up with friends. Lovely aesthetics and attention to detail on every item that you are served . Plenty of healthy food options including delicious vegetarian options which is rare to find. Meals and drinks are prepared with love & plated beautifully. It is best to book prior to avoid disappointment as it is usually full especially over the weekends.

I was drawn to this place because of its cute, girly aesthetic. The drinks and food were both delicious, and the atmosphere made it perfect for a special mother-daughter outing. Truly, such a lovely spot. I’d definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a fun and cozy experience!

Here’s a refined version of your review: Goddess Coffee, Linden – A Pink Paradise of Elegance and Indulgence Stepping into Goddess Coffee in Linden feels like entering a dream—an all-pink celebration of beauty, decadence, and Instagram-worthy charm. Every inch of the space is meticulously designed, with detail-oriented décor that sets the perfect backdrop for a luxurious dining experience. But it’s not just about the aesthetics. Cakes, cakes, and more cakes—each one a masterpiece, both visually stunning and utterly delectable. Whether you’re here for a lavish high tea (yes, tick that off your list!) or a fine dining experience, the menu is a deluxe affair, carefully crafted for indulgence. The scones were a standout—moist, perfectly balanced in sweetness, and elevated by a refreshing mint touch that made the strawberry topping sing. Every detail, from plating to flavor pairings, exceeded expectations, proving that Goddess Coffee is where flavor, elegance, and beauty meet in perfect harmony. If you’re looking for a place that blends sophistication with indulgence, this is it. Attended my sisters baby shower here. Both my sister's showers were hosted here, and the standards have not dropped in the timeframe between.

It's an amazing place to meet up with a friend or a bunch of friends. The atmosphere was so chilled. The food is amazing, full of flavor and portions are big. The cakes are divine, and I highly recommend the red velvet cake (it's smooth and delicious). The staff was super friendly. I visited the place during winter. There were outside gas heaters, and pretty blankets were provided. Everything was decorated pink, even the water in the toilet bowl is pink!

I’ve always wanted to try this place and it did not disappoint. They have the biggest menu with everything sounding so delightful. This place does specialize in fresh produce with no meat but I love the innovation that replaces not eating meat. I tried their breakfast protein bowl with poached eggs. It was so flavorful, full of protein, healthy fats and carbs. So many different textures and deliciousness! I literally fell in love with fresh earth coming to try their smoothie and doughnut for a quick pick me up fun breakfast. Never in my life have I tried the most special doughnut and what a plus that it has health benefits. The dough was so perfectly soft and chewy and the peanut butter white chocolate icing was so smooth with a crunch and perfectly sweet! Wow wow wow. Their smoothies are also lovely, best peanut butter protein one I’ve ever had! Can’t wait to come here again and try more!!

Really great food and the waiters are super friendly and accommodating. I once accidentally left my cellphone in the bathroom and one of the waiters was quick to collect it and keep it for me when I came back for it. Just a really lovely vibe overall. The only thing that has ever dampened my experience here is that twice now I've seen what seems to be the owner come in and cuss out the waitstaff in front of customers. Just a super awkward experience for everyone and seems really unnecessary. Other than that I've never had a bad experience here, and I'd recommend the zuchinni fries as a fun snack any day!

My son and I had the most incredible lunch at Fresh Earth today. We weren't intending to eat there, but as we walked past we were greeted warmly and after a quick glance at the extensive menu we couldn't not give it a go. Our food was absolutely delicious, healthy portion sizes, super tasty, well presented and fresh! Every single meal that came out of the kitchen looked spectacular! It was our first time at Fresh Earth, definitely not our last 🤤 Thank you Milton (our waiter) for the great service too! Can't wait for our next visit!

Wonderful experience at fresh earth food store! Amazing gluten free options. The Gluten free flapjacks were amazing!!

Food is tasty, and appears to have gotten better. Some interesting combinations, and recent additions to the menu. Can be seen to be on the pricey side which is fine, but sometimes portions are sparse. Particularly something like the toast. One slice is just not enough. The service is not good at all, the numerous times I have been there. No two ways about it. Not just at my table, but with neighbouring patrons can see the lack of interest shown by the waiters, even in the early mornings / beginning of the day. So this is a major development area for them. [update] their service appears to have improved. Not quite there, but strides have been made. Pleasant environment as dogs are also allowed. Can be a bit noisy if it gets full, [update] this is purely from the set up of the establishment and not patrons or staff. Toilet facilities appear to be out of service due to water shortage, but at least have facilities for washing of hands. The empty sanitisers aren’t helping much. Can suggest more tea options, would expect a bit more variety considering the nature of the store. [update] suggestions include mint, ginger and lemon tea. Perhaps even hibiscus. Would be a definite hit.

Fantastic options for those of us with gluten allergies. Come for the best GF Greek cookies in the country coupled with a delicious cup of coffee.

The bottomless buffet is greater value for money,Thank you Fresh Earth. I am however, surprised that the raw honey is served to be spooned out of the gkass bottle, with a metal spoon.... instead of a plastic or wooden utensil. I did request a plastic spoon and was given one, thank you so much

I had a great experience this past weekend at Tashas in Rosebank! The food was delicious - a solid 10/10, the chicken was so crispy and well cooked 👌🏽. The salad was also very fresh. I was really impressed, my friend also enjoyed her toasted sandwich. Definitely worth your money and the service is amazing😍 We will certainly be coming back😊✨

This is a great spot! The food was delicious, fast service and great staff. The cappuccino was just okay. Would go back to try their breakfast and dessert. Sat outside and there were tons of bees. It was very uncomfortable.

12 out of 10. Beautiful set up. Friendliest staff and the best part was the delicious food. Like 😋

Excellent food, excellent service & great atmosphere when we visited on Saturday lunchtime. Great food at great value. Lots of gluten free options including gluten free bread! Would highly recommend. Special thanks for our waitress Brenda who was amazing!!

I wanted to eat hummus and the hammus toast was very delicious! I strongly recommend it to vegetarians! The platting is beautiful, It made me so happy ❤️ I tried Greek coffee, it wasn't tasty but I can have experience in Greek style coffee😅. So it was good. My husband ordered the hotdog, he said it is also tasty :) Especially, the staffs are friendly and kind, they often care of my table. Interior is quite unique and I love it

Tashas is always a winner. Thank you to our server, Ryan, who made it extra special with his friendliness! The food was outstanding, and the restaurant itself is beautiful. The Greek coffee was interesting to try.

I tried one of their burgers for the first time, and it was absolutely delicious! The portions were generous, and that meal has stayed on my mind ever since and I can’t wait to go back. However, if you’re visiting Tashas in Rosebank, I’d recommend sitting indoors. The outdoor seating has a bit of a fly issue, which can be uncomfortable. In my case, a bee even landed in my pina colada. Despite this, the overall experience was still great, and the food remains top-notch!🩷

The Bull Run is classed as a New York Steakhouse Restaurant. The vibe definitely fits in with the description. Outside is a life-size brass bull (representing the stock market). Inside has a warm, classy feeling with friendly waitrons. There is a varied cocktail menu. The wait for the main meal wasn't long at all and the food was scrumptiously delicious 😋 . A fairly expensive outing but worthwhile.

What a beautiful restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious and the service impeccable. I was staying at the hotel and with that ate there two nights in a row. The second night, the waiter welcomed me back and even asked if I wanted to sit where I was the previous day, pointing at my table from the previous night. He wasn’t even my waiter the previous night so the fact that he remembered was quite amazing. They have tables outside on Maude street yet despite how busy the street can be, it still felt secluded and cozy enough. Inside you have beautiful spaces to sit. The one area in particular intrigued me where it looked like the table top was resting on books. Unfortunately there were people seated there so I couldn’t take photos. For my first night I had an amazing strawberry daiquiri and crumbed hot honey chicken with a huge baked potato and sour cream. My second night I had a refreshing Stella and their sundried tomato and butternut risotto with toasted pine nuts. Every bite was a treat. Definitely my go to when I travel again.

It's one of the best places in Sandton. It's part of Protea Balalaika. Everything is good in this place. Wide variety of food options and liquor.

Lovely chilled afternoon lunch with mates. Beers were called, starters was delectable and the main was extremely huge!!! The massive burger had me stuffed. Cut into 4 and it was still enormous. Excellent service and well worth the time and visit. Definitely would return.

Nice place, delicious food and kind staff. We had a lovely dinner. It's situated right next to the Protea hotel with an indoor entrance.

As a local, I've seen better, food is not wow, even though the calamari starter was real delicious and filling, had a kingklip for the main and it was tough and not tasteful. The place is outdated inside but well located as it's adjacent to a hotel. The waiters are attentive with not much engagement.

If you’re in Sandton and in search of steak perfection, look no further than The Bull Run. Whether it’s rump, rib-eye or a good ol’ fillet, they know how to do meat justice. My friend ordered a steak with pepper sauce on the side and honestly, I had food envy. That was a work of art. But then again, had I not ordered the cheeseburger, we wouldn’t have experienced the absolute Saturday night symphony that it was. Flavour, balance, indulgence and ticks all the boxes. A special shoutout to the bar for whipping up an off-the-menu Old Fashioned, smooth, strong and balanced. It wasn’t just dinner. It was a vibe.

We both had different cuts of steak. Best we’ve had in a while. Views was spectacular but it was cold so we choose to be close to the heater instead. Loved that they supplied blankets. This was highly appreciated. Would definitely go again during the day to experience high tea.

We celebrated my little brother’s birthday at Flames, and it was perfect! The view was spectacular and the food was absolutely worth it , delicious and beautifully prepared. Highly recommend for a memorable evening. (Pardon the photo quality, we were too hungry to clean the lens before digging in!)

Beautiful, with beautiful views. Will definitely go again to sit outside on a sunny day and at night for the joburg skyline. The hostess was super wonderful so was our waitress for the day.

An absolute 5 star dining experience! Had my fiancé's birthday dinner at Flames in the Four Seasons Westcliff. An absolutely unparalleled dining experience. From the service, to the ambiance, to the food. Absolutely amazing and definitely a cut above the rest. I HIGHLY recommend! - Focaccia bread and a savoury muffin with butter and balsamic vinegar for the table - Deep fried Patagonian squid with a black garlic dip - Fried eggplant Baba Ghanoush with crispy chick peas, salsa verde, red pepper romesco, herb salad and green oil. - Chalmar beef fillet with pomme purée, chargrilled vegetables and green peppercorn sauce - Tonka bean basque cheesecake with blueberry compote and candied orange - Belgian chocolate and hazelnut bar with vanilla bean frozen yogurt - Complimentary cake ❤️ To all GP residents and anyone visiting JHB, if you haven't been to @flamesjohannesburg , this is your sign. You will not be disappointed.

This place is an absolute gem of a place. From the staff, the service, the food. My stomach and heart was just so satisfied. The ambiance is amazing. The staff make you so welcome. The lamb shank is devine. The salmon was delicious. Lunch menu is wonderful. Give it a try. A huge thank you to Zandi and Tumi for the great service.

My family and I joined for Sunday Brunch in celebration of my mom's birthday.The food was divine and the atmosphere was great,I liked the options they had at the buffet for starters and dessert and I enjoyed the braaised lamb for mains, the service we received from Thembi was impecable!

Had a wonderful time at Flames Restaurant! We sat outside and soaked up the lovely breeze while taking in the stunning views of Joburg. My friend's pork belly was a hit - she polished off the entire plate! 😋 I opted for the lamb chops, which were absolutely delicious, although a bit on the fatty side (I left the fat behind 😉). Can't wait to return for sundowners and enjoy the atmosphere again! 🌅👌 Great experience, highly recommend!

What an amazing experience. Excellent service. Amazing food. Calm atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit. Kid friendly (no play area but they are welcomed) Our little one was even given his own cheesecake with a “So Cute” message written on the plate. They make sure you have a great experience. Caring and accommodating. Highly recommended

We went in for a chefs table at Level 4. The table was located in the kitchen, which was nice as you got to see how the dinner service was conducted. We had a 9 course dinner which spanned for about 3 hours. We had dietary requirements that the chef accommodated, and it was a deviation from the set menu. The waitors and the staff were very friendly. The food was expertly plated, and the flavors overall were well balanced. The rack of lamb and the fish were my favorite courses. I would definitely be back to try more.

The food was exceptional and all cooked to perfection. Amazing flavors, amazing textures and good portions. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great culinary experience!

Fantastic way to celebrate my husbands special day … friendly staff who treat you like royalty. I loved that they made a special effort to cater for our vegetarian requests. Beautifully plated food and delicious cocktails

I really have mixed feelings about my experience at the restaurant. We were celebrating a 1 year anniversary, and we were welcomed by a friendly doorman. Immediately the hotel lobby was pleasant. The setting at the restaurant is really classic, and was fitting for the occasion. Our waiter, Patience was really nice and friendly. The issue started with the cocktails. We both ordered the Level Four martini, which is not a martini at all. We then asked for old fashions, and they were really watered down, but better than the martini. I ordered the lamb shoulder and honestly it was a let down. It tasted like my aunt had cooked lamb outside with a three legged pot. There was no flavour, it's as if it was only cooked with water. The mash was basic. Honestly this is a meal anyone can make at their house. My girlfriend ordered the pork belly and it was meh. The presentation was nice though but the pork belly itself was not succulent but rather hard. The relish was flavourful and she enjoyed that more than the actual pork belly. Overall, the atmosphere is really great, the staff is nice. The drinks and food are such a let down. I would not recommend this place for food. Also their menu is really limited, which is okay, but if your menu is gonna have limited options, they better be incredibly delicious.

Very fine environment, classic and classy but a bit on the outdated side. The food was wonderfully presented and the service was nice. Dessert was average which was disappointing since they have a separate dessert menu - I’d set my hopes really high for my favorite course. It’s a beautiful place but it could use some excitement to set itself apart. Overall a lovely meal and a quiet setting.

Fantastic food, the tasting menu was presented in a fresh and interesting way with every dish being unique and delicious. Staff went out of their way to ensure that every guest had an exceptional dining experience. Their restaurant has a rooftop terrace with a beautiful garden outside giving it a great vibe. I would definitely recommend going.

Great experience at Paul’s. It’s one of those places where you’d love to go during a weekend or late in the afternoon after work. You grab a pastry, a drink, sit and relax. I highly recommend the almond croissant a d chicken burger. ✨

Paul in Melrose Arch offers a great French café experience with amazing breakfasts, fresh sandwiches, and wodnerful coffee. The pastries are exceptional, the ambiance is inviting, and service is excellent.

Very nice place! Staff was very friendly. Food was very nice. Coffee was amazing! Highly recommend, but a bit on the pricey side.

Great experience at this restaurant. It has an amazing location and an incredible ambiance. Our waiter Khaya was nothing short of phenomenal. He’s attentive, kind, knowledgeable and always willing to go the extra mile. Thank you!

Enjoyed the most incredible breakfast 🍳 and the service was top-notch 💯our waitress was super friendly and welcoming.

It was my first time at Paul Melrose, and I must say the experience was outstanding. From the warm welcome at the door to being seated and served, everything was seamless. I particularly appreciated having a waitress stationed on our side of the restaurant, always ready to assist. That kind of attentiveness is rare, as in most places you often have to wait or try to get someone’s attention. The staff were not only efficient but also genuinely friendly, which made the visit even more enjoyable. I'll definitely be visiting again ❤️

This was a place with a very relaxing vibe - perfect for brunch. We had a pasta and a savoury pancake. Super good! The food was really filling. Would definitely come back to try more of the food especially the pastries. Our waiter was also really attentive and helpful so thank you for the great service!

Went there for a lunch date with my friend, nice place and great atmosphere, we had complimentary bread and butter, it was really nice, i ordered fish and mash and a strawberry mocktail(really good)…..the fish was on the bland side and very oily, the mash was just ok and the tartar sauce not so good! When i got home i had an upset stomach so i threw the doggy bag i had, maybe my second visit there will be excellent!

I was pleasantly surprised by how amazing this place is! The decor is stylish, the atmosphere inviting, and the food reasonably priced. Service was outstanding, I was a 10/10 experience.

We stayed a night at the hotel & had early breakfast. Restaurant is open from 6.30am. We ordered breakfast choices of dishes and drinks from the menu. Surprised to see that there were buffet options too and lots of options to choose from. Desserts, salads, nuts, dried fruits & fresh fruits. Yogurts and lots of fresh fruits drinks. I liked the ginger shots! So refreshing. Liked the smoked salmon. Service is good and staff friendly. We were part of a tour group visiting South Africa. Lovely city Johannesburg.

I loved this place! The food was affordable and delicious, with generous portions. I even took some home, and it was enough to fill me up. The service was excellent. What really impressed me was the non-smoking section, which was a big plus since I'm pregnant. I highly recommend it.

The hostess will show you to a table and leave you there without assigning a waiter. You’ll end up waiting until you take it upon yourself to call one. Even then, the service is still poor. The food was okay.

I had a fantastic birthday celebration at San Deck bar and restaurant with my family and friends. The highlight of our evening was the delicious meat platter we ordered. The variety and quality of meats were exceptional, and everyone at the table thoroughly enjoyed it. The ambiance was great, the staff was friendly and attentive, making our dining experience memorable. One of the standout features of this place is the cozy fireplace, adding to the overall warmth and charm of the venue. Additionally, the restaurant boasts a balcony with a breathtaking view of the city skyline, enhancing the dining experience further. I highly recommend San Deck for anyone looking for a delightful dining experience with excellent food, friendly service, and a fantastic view of the Sandton city.

What a disappointing experience at the restaurant. Such a pity! We were there to celebrate our birthday (My sister nad I). It took 45 minutes to get drinks which was accompanied with the most disgusting attitude from the waiter (Lihle), he was actually annoyed when we asked about the wait time for food if the drinks took 45minutes, half the time he was cutting me off when ever I wanted to ask about anything. I wish I went somewhere else. We didn’t order food and left to try and salvage what was left of our birthday celebration .

The club sandwich wasn’t the greatest but my fiancé absolutely enjoyed their egg Benedict. Service could have been better.

I like this place because it is next to my house. We always buy fresh bread and cookies. The service is good. But today I found an egg shell in my favorite cookie ☹️ It's not pleasant, from now on be careful and watch the cooking

The food here is usually very good, so we trusted them for a sandwich platter. We were told the platter would feed 10-12 people, but received the equivalent of one loaf of bread and a few slices of cheese and 7 baby tomatoes for R550. Presentation wasn't even really considered.

We visited Olivia’s Coffeebake out of curiosity after seeing their Google reviews. Initially, we bought a takeaway quiche, which the lady said was chicken and mushroom. It looked delicious, so we ordered it to go as we were in a hurry. Once outside, we noticed how lovely the seating area looked and decided to have coffee there. However, when we asked for a fork to enjoy the quiche, we were told we had to pay an extra R80 because we were now eating it outside. Whether that was for the fork or a small side salad (which we didn’t want), I’m still not sure — but R80 seems excessive for either. We decided not to eat the quiche there and just had coffee instead. The waiter was excellent — friendly and professional — but the policy and handling of the situation felt very unprofessional. When we eventually ate the quiche, it was disappointing: one tiny piece of chicken (about the size of a marble) in the entire portion. It was essentially an egg and mushroom quiche, not the chicken and mushroom we were sold. Overall, the experience was disappointing, and I wouldn’t rush back.

First time visit to Olivia's and loved the warm atmosphere. The food was fresh and flavourful. Our waitress was attentive and gave us great service despite it being a really busy morning. The bakery is so tempting with all its delights. Great potential to becoming a regular breakfast spot ♡

I have always had goid service at Olivias and i go there often for thier quiches. I know they are the best quiches and that they sell out quickly so I placed a telephonic order for two of them. Driving all the way from Pretoria I was boasting about how great the queshes are, to my dissapointment my order was incorrect and only one quiche was available leaving me dissapointed and embarresed with quests i invited over. I truly hope that the next time I place an order that more attention will be taken

Great place for early morning coffee and biscuit. Staff all lovely to deal with. Clean toilets. Olivia’s deserve all good comments.

Great lunch out at The Troyville. We sat upstairs at the glass box overlooking the city. All arrange by our waiter Bruce when I called to book. The service was excellent, thanks Bruce, the view fabulous and the food great. Highly recommended.

Love this place… and frequent it often. The lunch time menu is always good. Apart from the excellent Portuguese food, I also recommend the Feijoada - a Brazilian black bean and pork stew but come hungry… Park behind the Troyeville and access the restaurant from the rear. Oh yes…make sure you visit the vibrant roof-top for the best view of Johannesburg

Had lunch before walking to the stadium for Springboks vs Australia. On the day it was busy and buzzing- it seems the hotel restaurant is used by lots of corporates for easy access to the stadium. The security was visible as this is not in the the best place in town. The platter portions where large

Ii had an amazing experience Here the food is amazing the atmosphere is nice very comfortable and soft Music very welcoming stuff many 🙏🏾 thanks keep up with the good job.

great venue on the roof top for Sunday afternoon concerts. Went to see the brillant Georgetown play there. Proper old school Portuguese food served by efficient friendly staff.

I’ve been here for a bday party and also performances. The food is always delicious and the services with Bruce excellent. Beautiful views of the jhb city skyline from the glass pergola and upstairs venue. Not the best location but you do feel safe as you arrive with all security

Thank you to all the staff for handling the after game crowd so professionally last night. From entrance into the Resturant and making sure everyone got into their Ubers afterwards. Cant wait to visit again.

The Lamb at the Restaurant was very tasty. The quality of the food overall is average. The service was Bad. The waiters are not trained, no attention to detail. They are open for change. The Supervisor was apologetic and will address the service issues.

Very nice food

Amazing food, offered to marry the chef after eating their lamb shanks (definitely recommend). Service from Providence was amazing and friendly. Fantastic experience all in all.

Good place

Horrendous. A tortoise speed is even better than the service here. The restaurant service ruined the whole experience

(Translated by Google) This restaurant is a scandal for this type of “upscale” hotel. A burger with disgusting industrial meat, no seasonings, fatty gnocchi. Only the water and tomato sauce were worth it! (Original) Un scandale ce resto pour ce type d'hôtel "haut de gamme". Un burger avec une viande industrielle dégoûtante, pas d'assaisonnements, des gnocchis gras. Seule l'eau et la sauce tomate valaient le coup !

I've been here on more than one occasion and I feel that the standard has dropped in terms of their food. The carpaccio was delicious. The rib eye was grilled to perfection but the 'fries' were mushy, didn't even have more than 5. The creme brulee was okay. The sugar was too thick and the blueberry sauce on top made the dessert too wet. The service we received was fine, although slow. We ordered a bottle of wine and I swear our waitress was gone for a good 20 minutes. There were only 4 tables occupied throughout the evening. They have a lovely deck area for sundowners, the view is not disappointing.

25.04.2018 We were looking for a spot to have after work drinks to bid farewell to a colleague leaving. Convenience was key so we decided on coming next door to our work. It has a lovely chilled setup and view. Sadly due to the strike they were short staffed which resulted in extremely slow service. The drinks menu seems ok, i had a quick look at the food menu and it looks like the usual stuff. i sadly didnt try the drinks but discovered a new brand of Tea as since that was my poison for the evening. it tasted quite nice actually. Will consider giving this place another try. It has potential;-)

Looking for an after work hangout spot on a Friday night? Then check out Central One! 😊 With no entrance fee, you get to enjoy a mix of old and new music alike from the resident DJs. The view from the top is something not to tire of because Sandton looks amazing at night. 🌃 Next time I am definitely going to give their food menu a go! 💪

Loved the food there and wine. But the food took so long to arrive and the restaurant was pretty empty, 40mins wait.

Food wasn't bad but service was poor overall. Requesting a extra plate resulted in well over a five minute wait while the restaurant was basically empty. Disappointed to have asked for a bottle of table water (which is drinkable tap water) only to realize that it was local bottled water costing 48 Rand. Must need to be a local to know the correct phrase for the complimentary water. Unfortunately, it seems the staff, like the hotel, are mostly disinterested and know that most guests are stuck here as they don't want to venture out after dark in Johannesburg.

Lovely refuge from the hustle and bustle of Sandton. The bar is part of the hotel and has an expansive sun deck several floors up. I enjoyed a burger and a beer with a colleague for lunch which were well made and tasty.

4 stars, just for the drinks and the view really. The deck is amazing for relaxing and of course the pictures. The vibe overall is chill. Groove music and cocktails. The food is okay, but the service is to say slow is an understatement. I eventually just got up to find a waiter inside.

Celebrated a 70th birthday. Food was excellent, although we waited very very long, but then again we were a group of 20. Our server, Thembi, was wonderful! She made sure everyone got their correct order and made sure we were looked after. So much care was taken with the food preparation. Table and setting was beautiful. Lovely gardens. All and all a great place for any occasion.

It is an absolutely beautiful place for any type of meal, being with friends or family. The food is really well priced and the portions were huge. The coffee was hot and really yummy. The menu has so many wonderful options for different types of meals. There is some pathways that the older generation may struggle with as it's a bit rocky. So there weren't very obvious wheelchair accessible entrances. But it is doable. The service was wonderful, kind and attentive, very good timing for food and drinks. However cute the chickens might be, they make an awful lot of noise and when food comes out they swarm underneath the table in large numbers and don't leave until you've finished your meal. It can be especially weird if you are eating one of their chicken options. However it is a beautiful spot surrounded by trees and the sound of birds, with good meal options and there also happens to be a lot of other shops on the premises so lots to do there. Definitely worth checking it out for a nice brunch or breakfast option.

The food, atmosphere in the garden is like you are in paradise beautiful and calming. My best new favorite place to go.

Really nice place under the trees, and pet friendly. There are a lot of chickens around (in case your dog can't handle that). The food is delicious and fairly priced. The inside area is very cosy and beautiful with a little shop with yummy things. Really glad we stopped here for breakfast.

Great experience. The breakfast bowl is the best

Lovely environment 💕 You can choose to sit inside or outside under the trees. The service and food was AMAZING! You can book a table for family events. It's the kind of atmosphere where you could spend your morning or afternoon.

Very helpfull and friendly staff. Food was well prepared, tasty and fresh. Really enjoyed the coffee. Great place to meet friends for breakfast or lunch

What speciality coffee should look like. Walk in and you immediately know that you are in for a coffee experience. Their range of coffee AND coffe brewing methods? Top tier. Want more sips? Check out @sipswithsethbw on TikTok and IG

Best specialty/third wave coffee we’ve had in Africa! And great food!

Father Coffee in Rosebank has such a vibe but relaxed feel. The coffee, and the array is just out of this world. With soo many brew options as well, it can leave you a little overwhelmed, but I would have it any other way. And Neo, the Barista? Amazing. Friendly. Knowledgeable.

Quality specialty coffee. Shout out to Antoni for patiently explaining the coffee available and for preparing such a wonderful flight. ❤️☕️

Delicious coffee with neat artistic designs. Two cappuccinos and a wonderful croissant 🥐 friendly service. Recommended

Honestly the best pour over I’ve had in South Africa to date. Really good coffee and food.

I had a fun time. For a compact space it felt spacious. I like that they have table tennis at their store. It's really refreshing. The play area can be closed to contain the noise. I ordered a flat white, it was made at a suitable temperature, warm enough to drink. The milk used was taste with some sweet nodes to it. A great beverage when starting to take your coffee without sugar. Friendly customer service. They have an innovative means of accessing the menu via QR code on the dinning in tables, although they do have a menu at the counter, which is where you place your order. You order at the counter, and your order is served at your table. Hot and cold beverages are available, breakfast: toasted sandwiches, muesli, yogurt, fruits and etc are sold. It's a great gem.

I'm underwhelmed. I had high expectations. They downsized from the cute pink cafe I knew to this rich Mediterranean colours in a room. The waiters tried to get us to move from our seats twice. Almost none of the items on the menu were actually there. The teas? Almost all sold out. The cakes? 90% sold out. The food? Overpriced for the taste quality and quantity. I really wanted this to be a good experience. I really did.

The restaurant is rather chic & pretty. The food was OK. The desserts was yummy. Pricing makes sense when one has regard to the aesthetic of the restaurant and its location. Would make a gorg outing for bridal/baby showers!

The vibe here is super cool. You could completely forget you're in a shopping mall. The people I was with all really enjoyed their drinks and food. So did I. The staff was prompt and friendly. I really enjoyed my Irish coffee. ;)

Beautiful setup and the coffee isn’t bad but that’s where it stops. Burnt food prepared in stale oil, extremely limited veggie/vegan options, neglectful service and a complete lack of care from the manager - she herself even said, “I’m sorry we ruined your birthday” then she proceeded to do absolutely nothing to rectify the situation. Based on their price point, it wasn’t worth the hype - I actually wanted to try their high tea offering after I’m done with my religious fast however based on my overall experience I doubt I’ll be doing that

Walking into Just Teddy is like stepping into a Parisian dream wrapped in elegance and floral charm. The décor is luxurious with golden accents, cherry blossoms, and a warm glow — it sets the perfect mood for a chic brunch or indulgent dessert session.

An absolute Instagrammable place and one you have to go to tick off the bucket list. It’s the perfect place for an afternoon tea with the ladies or a lazy brunch spot. Food is good and the high tea is even better.

I felt it was really important to share a review of my experience. A big, heartfelt thank you to Just Teddy, Hyde Park. I arrived early to set up for a bridesmaid proposal brunch, and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly and accommodating. A special shoutout to our waitress, “Pinky” (apologies if I’ve got the spelling wrong) – you were absolutely amazing. Thank you for your fantastic service and for organising the surprise moment when the staff sang. It truly made the day even more special. I honestly can’t thank you all enough!

A small coffee shop situated under the large escalators in Sandton City mall. I think it’s quite a nice use of space and has all the cute details associated with the Naked chain. The chai latte I had here was probably the best I’ve had in my life so would definitely recommend. The staff were all very friendly and the manager was making turns checking in on the customers which was appreciated. However it seems like they struggle to cater for the sit down customers and the takeaway customers at the same time as we had to wait a ridiculously long time for our coffee and then again for the bill. I would come again but hope to have some faster service next time.

A quaint little “hideaway” in the middle of the mall. Staff are excellent but the food lets them down. I had an egg sandwich (R75!) on rye and a single solitary slice with a sad solitary wedge of lemon arrived on a plate. The Mayo they used was cheap (Hellmans) and tasted as sad as it looked in the plate. I finished just a bit. The tea was about the only good thing I could mention about the whole dining experience. They could work on that. The vibe is very “Sandton” with lots of loud cellphone chatting about clients, stocks and the like. Overall an ok time was had.

The best flat white I’ve had in my life. And I’ve had a lot of coffee. For more coffee reviews check out @sipswithsethbw on TikTok and IG.

A great coffee shop serving good coffee and food. Located inside the Morningside mall with indoor and outdoor seating. The staff are super attentive and efficient ensuring your experience is memorable. For me I love the fresh beautifully presented food not to mention tasty flavorsome. I love the BLT bagel 🥯 for breakfast and have driven to the centre just for it. There are many other breakfast options as well as light meals throughout the day. I is a popular spot so can be busy but we have always found a table.

Went for a quick lunch and got great service from Richard. I was disappointed that the menu item I wanted was out of stock but the alternative that the waiter suggested was okay.

Coffee is always excellent. Cake is a bit on the pricier side but tasty. Really incredible service and always welcoming and friendly. The decoration is relaxing and seating is comfortable. Can never go wrong with a cup of coffee!

There is a good guy, wimz. He is so gentle and nice. And coffee and brunch menu is sooo good

It's a great area to enjoy a meal, community and conversation. Njam has a good menu with a healthy range of vegan/vegetarian options. Eugene is a fabulous host. There are some unique and interesting items on the menu.... give it a try 😉

The name intrigued me and we decided to give breakfast a try. Lovely little restaurant with a pleasant deli slash coffee shop vibe, quick friendly service and the prices are very reasonable. The food was delicious and portions good, a must visit.

My 1st visit to Njam Eatery - what a casual dining experience!! I had the Rooster Burger, absolutely delicious! At R85, a bargain vs our local fast food burger prices! I will be back :)

What a place! A gem truly. Everything here is well thought out and intentional. From the service to the food, everything is exceptional. My servers were great, they were friendly, jovial and knowledgeable. The food was exceptional, the attention to detail, the flavours and the presentation were all great. I can't wait to go back.

Lovely little eatery, great for a snack or a full meal. Stopped by for a quick lunch. Service was a bit erratic, menu slightly limited for vegetarians. Lovely street vibe and friendly staff.

Great Coffee. Fresh food, fresh bakes , everything is always perfectly seasoned. Friendly and highly professional staff. We are at Njam at least 10 times a month 😅, for just a takeaway coffee, ice cream or tea with a snack or a full meals. Lindens best honestly!

Delicious burgers and quite a few unique items. The burger for example comes in a char-grilled roosterkoek and is accompanied with tomato jam crispy onions rocket and gerkins.

We had a delicious breakfast here. Our waiter, Thando, was very friendly and forthcoming. He recommended the Caribbean Mocha, which was a lovely change from our usual and is still praised by my friends from Mozambique. I found the prices reasonable and the size of the meals optimal. I would love to come back one day!

Great service from Mkhululi .You really served with love and understanding the order. Great skill indeed. Thank you M&B Cresta for a great experience

I ordered the avocado toast with a poached egg while busy on my sketch pad and it was beautifully presented and tasted fresh and delicious. My cappuccino was also excellent—rich and creamy. Great service and a nice atmosphere!

I have never had a bad experience at Mugg & Bean. The menu is delicious and has many friendly options if you have dietary requirements. The service is also great! Our server, Thando, gave us lot's of recommendations and was amazing!

Great service and brilliant assistance from Lebo and Bongani. I had a chocolate cake with a serious cappuccino. Then I had a rump, wings and rings which were so good. Good food, Good service, Definitely coming back!

AMAZING DAY, I recently had an incredible experience with Bongani, a waiter who went above and beyond to make my day. he also showed me kindness, compassion, and a remarkably positive attitude. Our brief interaction shifted my perspective and reminded me of the impact one person can have on another. The service was fast, the quality was top-notch, and the compassion was genuine. Thank you, Bongani, for an unforgettable experience! I'll definitely be back.

Great service! Jennifer was fantastic! Her service was on point from start to finish. She was friendly and made sure everything arrived promptly and just as we ordered. Her warm personality and professionalism really made the experience enjoyable. Highly recommend her!

I truly enjoyed Mike’s heritage house. At first I was disappointed by the fact that they don’t serve any Italian food like pasta, pizza and therefore I settled for their Sirloin Steak and it was the best steak I ever tasted, truly enjoyed every bite of it and the veggies were to die for. The service was very efficient from our waitress and I loved the outdoor atmosphere. We finished our day with slap chips and let me tell you this place is called heritage for a reason, they cook everything like they founded those meals therefore making these meals their heritage site to visit I definitely recommend Mike’s heritage.

I've had the pleasure of dining at Mike's Kitchen Heritage House numerous times over the years, and it's always been a treat. The outdoor area is lovely, and the menu selection is diverse and appealing. However, my most recent visit in late December 2024 was somewhat disappointing. Despite the restaurant not being overly busy, as me went after the lunch crowd. The service was slower than usual. My steak was also not prepared as I had requested. I want to emphasise that this experience won't deter me from returning, as I understand that off-days can happen to anyone. I'm sharing this in the spirit of constructive feedback, hoping that it will help Mike's Kitchen Heritage House continue to improve and provide the excellent experience that I've come to expect. I look forward to my next visit!

Waitress was very pleasant. Food came quickly. Some dishes were excellent, others less so. Chicken curry did not taste authentic Indian.

The staff was very professional and kind, the services was quick and the food was amazing. I loved everything about the place, it was my first time going there and I'll definitely be going again in the future. Thank you so much Falathi for making my birthday extra special.

S A Charming Gem with Hearty Food and Heritage Warmth Tucked inside a beautifully preserved double-storey house from the early 1900s, Mike’s Kitchen Heritage House offers a truly special dining experience. The original wooden interior has been lovingly maintained, giving the space a nostalgic, homely charm. There’s a seat for every mood—quiet nooks and crannies for intimate chats, a lively, festive buzz on Friday afternoons, or relaxed outdoor tables in the garden. We visited on a packed Friday afternoon and were blown away. The food was absolutely excellent, with portions in true American style—generous and satisfying. It’s a meat-lover’s paradise, but my friend’s falafel burger looked divine and was a great vegetarian option. I opted for a classic burger with a hot vegetable side of spinach, butternut, and broccoli—fresh, perfectly cooked, and a nice alternative to chips. Service was impeccable. The maître d’ checked in on us regularly, and the whole team made us feel welcome. Prices are reasonable—around R125 for a burger—and the experience is well worth it. The atmosphere is warm and vibrant, and the little touch of a red lollipop at the door when you leave made the whole visit feel that much sweeter. Highly recommended—whether you’re after a hearty meal, a cozy chat, or a Friday vibe, this spot delivers.

The food was great. The place was packed, as it was mothers day, so the service was a bit slow. The staff is super friendly though, I was super late for my reservation but I called before hand and they worked something out. The only thing I would really criticise is their cheesecake, it doesn't taste like cheesecake. I think they make it with sour milk instead of cream cheese, anyway they should really rethink their recipe and ingredients.

At 5am i couldn’t ask for more, it was so warm and cozy inside and the breakfast we had was 10/10. Spring rolls with a saffa twist with bacon, eggs and spinach inside!

Would have given it a solid 5 had it not been for the noise at night despite being in the quieter part of the hotel. Plus my colleague had the unpleasant surprise to have his room opened by supposedly 2 security guards in the middle of the night on the second night of our 1 week stay there. The staff on the other hand were super helpful and nice and words cannot express my gratitude to them. Always ready to help and ensuring that the hotel is super clean. Big thanks to the chef in the restaurant and the omelette lady.

We had a brilliant night in a ground floor junior suite (myself and my 2 teenage children). They kept luggage whilst went off on safari and then came back for 3 nights in a first floor junior suite. Room service toasties and chips excellent. Bull Run restaurant attached was fantastic. Beds were comfy and air conditioning worked really well. Staff were all super helpful

I had a hard time choosing which Protea Marriott to stay in JoBurg. I'm glad I settled on this one due to it's location and amenities. The service was great and friendly, and the Planet Fitness amenity was a nice surprise. The water pressure was phenomenal and the bed linen was perfect. Breakfast buffet was decent, but not amazing. The hotel shuttle to the mall and train station were very convenient.

So the good news: excellent rooms, love the bedding, great TV, and especially nice with a proper separate shower still with a bath. Staff is very friendly. The not so good news: the place is noisy, both from the hallway and in the windows side. Also don’t count on room service. A simple salat will take over 30min midday, but at least they will warn you. And finally, don’t rely on the very spotty internet. I’m writing this from the room using 4G…

I attended a training course here over two days. The place is in a nice setting, access from the street is easy and basement parking offers convenient entry. Staff was friendly and helpful and food was great. The venue was clean and in good condition. Overall a great experience!

One of the best hotels in Johannesburg, near Sandton city mall and Mandela square. They offer free transport to and from the mall They offer cheaper price options for the rooms and conferencing.The staff are friendly and the conference package is affordable with a good selection of food.

This is my favourite hotel spot when traveling to Johannesburg. The staff are very helpful and kind. The hotel is absolutely stunning Thank you for always welcoming me so beautifully🥰

We really enjoyed our stay! The bed was super comfortable, and the breakfast was fresh with plenty of delicious options — the omelet was especially amazing! The service was excellent too, especially from Simanga, who was very kind and even spoke a few words in Portuguese. We felt truly welcomed!

I had such a wonderful experience thanks to our waiter, Frank. From the very start, he was extremely helpful, well-mannered, and genuinely friendly. He made me feel welcomed and well taken care of throughout the entire visit. It was such a pleasure being served by him, and his attentive service really made the meal even more enjoyable. The food was 10/10 The service 10/10 The environment 10/10 The staff 10/10 Thank you so much team.

We stayed at the Radisson Red Rosebank in Johannesburg and, while the design of the hotel is nice, the functionality and especially the service left a lot to be desired. We booked the junior suite with executive lounge access. The room itself was a corner suite with sharp angles, leaving a lot of unusable space. The bathroom design was frustrating — the tap was either a weak trickle or so powerful it splashed water everywhere, and the fan made a loud, intermittent noise like a kettle boiling, even with the door closed. Service was the biggest letdown. At breakfast, the staff seemed uninterested and disengaged. Despite the restaurant being far from full, there were no plates or bowls available, and when asked, staff simply walked off and eventually brought glasses instead. Condiments and sauces were also missing. Overall, it felt like a “can’t be bothered” attitude. The door staff were similar — we arrived with two large suitcases, and no one offered to help. Instead, they just told us to use the main door rather than the turnstile as we struggled with our bags up the steps. Departing the hotel was no different, with zero assistance offered. It really felt like service isn’t a priority here. The executive lounge was disappointing — very small and awkward, with an attendant sitting there but not doing much. Food was meant to be available from 5–8 pm, but by 6:30 it was gone and not replenished at all. The one positive was the reception staff, who were friendly and helpful, unlike the rest of the team. The location is also very good, with plenty of restaurants and things to do nearby, and it felt safe — one of the reasons we chose this hotel for our layover in Johannesburg. Overall, a stylish hotel in a great area, but the poor service and functionality mean we wouldn’t choose to stay here again.

Great hotel and absolutely loved the artwork. The room was spacious, and the bed was really comfortable. Also want to give thanks to Simanga, our server in the restaurant for breakfast. He was a pleasure: He was super friendly, his service was quick, and he helped teach us some of the basics of Zulu language which helped us not only communicate with him, but with other people in the area. If you visit, please ask for him. 10/10, would visit this hotel again if I come back to Johannesburg.

1 Excellent service from Linda at rooftop. 2. My laptop zip stripped and reception very quickly assisted with sewing kit, even threading the needle, so kind and made sure I was sorted, wow! 3. Room service very fast. 4. I struggled with coffee station and 2 employees rushed to my aid. The Red R personnel made my feel like a VIP, from door, front desk to waiters. Everyone, thanks

I just want to share this lovely breakfast on a cold gloomy morning was served with hot chocolate specially made by Crew Simanga, your hospitality was appreciated. Thank you for adding warmth into this season.

I had an amazing experience and stay at the hotel. The staff as always are very polite, helpful as well as professional. The hotel is situated in a central location with access to Rosebank Mall, the Zone Rosebank and the museum illusions is close by. The breakfast was incredible with a lot of options to choose prepared, the restaurant on the rooftop was the cherry on top the food served was delicious and well prepared.

Great experience indeed friendly and very assisting stuff, whom made sure we are treated like royalty thanks to our waitress

Our booking was paid for and confirmed in writing several months before our arrival in Johannesburg but, when we arrived, The Bannister Hotel was closed. For renovations. So these works were planned, but the management didn't bother to cancel our reservation. And whilst a contact number for any enquiries had been left on the door, it was an unregistered number. So, basically, we were left on the street with all our luggage (in the middle of a storm), trying to find alternative accommodation without any assistance. A great way to experience Johannesburg!

These people is professional, friendly the service is excellent they just want to go the extra mile to do more for you, feel like farm people

Amazing stay!the hotel exceeded my expectations. Comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and great amenities.Highly recommend!

It is a good place to relax chill with with friends amd the service is amazing so is the atmosphere..

The restaurant service was so bad. We were rushed to place orders.. items were thrown on our table, drinks came in cans, no glass, no straws. The worst Margaritas I’ve ever had. The glasses were not clean.Overall, a bad experience... not worth it at all. I gave my takeaway to a hobo on the way out.

I love the centre of Joburg so this is in the heart of the buzz. The comedy club and bar downstairs makes no noise but are nice to have so accessible. The service is wonderful and safe parking makes one sleep easy.

Besides incredible food, the vibe at Bowls is epic. Staff were friendly and helpful. We had our baby shower here and the whole team at bowls went above and beyond. 10/10 would recommend that anyone looking for a chill, some chow and a great venue, give this place a try.

The food and drinks were just horrible I must admit. We had to return our pizza's more than once because there was hardly any cheese on them just like scraps of meat and whatever other toppings on them. The pizza's were returned so much they were barely edible when we decided to finally eat them because we had been waiting so long for the food. The cocktails we got were gross as well. Overall an incredibly underwhelming dining experience.

I had the chance to visit the Zoo Lake Bowls Club for breakfast. It was a delightful experience, and they are dog-friendly as long as the dog is on a leash. I strongly recommend trying their all-day breakfast.

The classic place to get a drink and a meal for a reasonable price while overlooking the bowls lawns (and the new padel courts). On the weekend I was there a jumping castle was put out for the kids and a live music event occurred in the evening. The service was great with the staff looking after our large table with close attention and fantastic friendliness. This place will always be a top spot for me personally. I've had too many good memories made here not to revisit it to make some more.

Pictures by copyright ©️ blackjohannes. Pictures as is and was not edited or manipulated. The bowls club is not about bowls only. The bar and restaurant provided for decades long different experiences for different people. It went through times of cheap drinks and cheap budget meals where young and old hang out. These days you can still experience the same late back approach of 20 years ago as the green spaces and views are the same. You can get a great oven baked 40 cm pizza for less than R100. The drinks are not that "cheap" anymore and most meals are not your typical budget meals, unless you go after the specials. Service levels are laid back and food takes long. It is still worth it to give it a visit now and then. The "old mans' marble game" are not the main attraction. You can just sit back and enjoy the experience.

Pizza are amazing Service was slow but still a very nostalgic vibe.

We hosted a collage poetry event here and they hosted us with attention to detail. Checking if we needed anything to eat or drink from time to time, while giving us space to craft. Great venue.

I saw some reviews of this place online and a lot of people loved it, so I decided to go there to see for myself. The atmosphere was perfect, the food was amazing and the service was absolutely wonderful. Definitely recommend you pay them a visit although it's safer to make a reservation because it's a popular spot, and for good reason. Huge thank you to our server Eric for looking after us, truly made it an enjoyable experience. 🙏🏽

First time visit. Cynthia took care of us( ultimate pro at what she does!) Great atmosphere all around , good service and great food!

This place really has it all... Great food! They especially prepared a tasting platter for me, and every little detail from how the steak was cooked, to how the seafood was grilled, the little condiments and sauces... Always order the sweet ginger chilli sauce with anything you order! The halloumi grilled to perfection, home made hummus and they take the humble chips/fries to the next level! Sounds like pub grub kinda food but there are some more sophisticated dishes too. Trust me it would take a week to eat your way through the menu, but what a week that would be! Great drinks! Ice cold Stella on tap, I also had a Royal standard espresso martini! Yum!! And great service, the team really do care about the product and the experience. Most importantly, the Vibe, if you're up for a bit of a dance, a private dinner or just quiet snacks with a friend, I can highly recommend The Station! Compliments to Neil, Siobhan, Gary and the rest of the team! High five's all round!

The welcome was awesome , loved the atmosphere created for my birthday celebration 🎉 …. Waiter was really special in ensuring we had a great time. I struggled with the chilli level in my pasta but the lovely veg snacks made up for it … great vibe ! Oh and really loved the cocktails 🍸

To The Station Parkhurst - A BIG THANK YOU TO DYLAN We celebrated my mum’s birthday here, and the experience was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment I made the booking, the manager was warm, welcoming, and attentive – making sure every detail was taken care of. On arrival, the team went above and beyond to make my mum feel special. They decorated the table with balloons, wrote a sweet birthday message on the tablecloth, and even surprised her with a dessert to mark the occasion. The ambiance was beautiful – calm, relaxing, and spotless – which made the evening feel extra special. The food was outstanding, prepared with such quality and attention to detail. Every dish was fresh and delicious. A big thank you to Dylan and the staff for creating such a memorable celebration for us. The service, atmosphere, and food all came together perfectly. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion or simply enjoy a wonderful dining experience. This was 5 big stars***** From Louie and family

Absolutely loved it. Beef ribs were excellent Cheesecake was divine 😍💕🤤

Honestly A Good Vibe. It’s Definitely Worth Trying If You’re In The Area.
