Where to Eat in Johannesburg
06 May, 2015
restaurant
Father Coffee
Johannesburg, South Africa
The artisan coffee scene is exploding in Johannesburg, and Father Coffee is at the centre of it all. You’re sure to find the city’s best flat white at either of the roaster’s two locations. Check out the espresso bar in the upmarket Rosebank shopping mall, or if you’re further south, set your sights on the trendier Braamfontein branch.
restaurant
Marble
Johannesburg, South Africa
For an upmarket evening that is reminiscent of London’s swankier side (but half the price) head to Marble. It has stunning views over the city making it the perfect spot for pre-dinner cocktails on the terrace. Not only that, the food is world class, with quality steaks cooked over an open fire. Expect a sophisticated vibe and don’t be afraid to dress up a bit.
restaurant
Coalition
Johannesburg, South Africa
For pizza, look no further than this sweet little spot in Parkwood with its wood-fired oven. It’s absolutely tiny, with just seven tables, so be sure to book ahead. Once inside, tuck into the best pizza Johannesburg has to offer, washed down with a truly Italian Aperol spritz.
restaurant
The Whippet
Johannesburg, South Africa
When brunch calls there’s only one thing for it. Find a quirky spot in one of Johannesburg’s best suburbs and settle in for a morning of top-quality coffee and hearty dishes. The Whippet offers much more than just scrambled eggs on toast; here you’ll find interesting twists on the classics. Think stacked croissants, breakfast burritos and crispy flatbreads, as well as an impressive selection of breakfast mimosas.
restaurant
The Living Room
Johannesburg, South Africa
Overlooking the Johannesburg CBD skyline, The Living Room offers the best spot to enjoy sundowners at the weekend among hot, young “Joburgers”. Expect potted plants hanging from the ceiling, fairy lights galore and thumping house music. Head there on a Sunday afternoon to toast the weekend in style.
