When it comes to good food there is no doubt that Johannesburg has a number of high ranking restaurants which I feel is a must-visit in the busy city. After moving to Johannesburg in 2014 the food culture got me indulging in the direction of Flavour. We all love food that is for sure but we sometimes waste cash on restaurants that are not up to standards and services that are sometimes disappointing, well here is a list of our top FIVE favourite places to get your munch on and most importantly get your money worth!
Pizza E Vino – Kyalami Corner
One of the best Italian Pizza and Pasta restaurants to visit, here you will be swept away with the perfect selection of wood firebase pizzas and fresh pasta selections. Thursday is Pizza special so they will upgrade your Large Pizza to a Grande for free and which normally becomes your lunch for the next day.
Marble – Rosebank
When you are looking for that perfect char-grill braai taste in meat then look no further, Marble is one of the best experiences when it comes to red meat. We often go for their signature Rib Eye dish which melts in your mouth, this I call a party in my mouth!!
The Rock – Kyalami Corner
There is no place in South Africa that tops the Ribs special on a Thursday night especially when served in their Peri-Peri sauce.
Here you will be treated with the best evening dinners often facing the sunset in Johannesburg. With cool sofas that make you punish that bottle of Red Wine, I often say Wine and Dine!
Silver Orange Bistro – Hartbeespoort
Presentation is everything and when it comes to this Bistro you will be fascinated with how Art can be something you eat on a plate. With delicious flavours bursting in your mouth you would definitely come back for more. With an Orange Orchard that is situated on the property, you would seek a Gin and Tonic and take in the fresh citrus in the air. A bit of a drive from the mainland but well worth it.
The View – Four Seasons Hotel Westcliff
When it comes to fine dining and a view for a romantic occasion then this is a place to satisfy. Reservations need to be placed in advanced but so worth it. Take a caddy to the top alongside villas that you would want to book for your next weekend away. Make sure you reserve a seating that offers that panoramic view of Jozi. With Art and Flavours on your plate, you would not be disappointed.
