  • 1. Bertrand Café

    $$$ | City Center

    One of the coolest places to be seen in Maboneng, Bertrand Café exudes a shabby chic style with its mirror and portrait walls, chandelier, mix-match pops of color, and bookshelves lined with bric-a-brac. The food is a fusion of French and African flavors thanks to inspiration from the Congolese co-owner Bertrand Mampouya. 

    296 Fox St., Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa

    Known For

    • People watching from the outside seating
    • Good Wi-Fi
    • An ideal spot for remote working
  • 2. Modena Italian Eatery

    $$$ | Parkhurst

    It's hard to find a table inside without a dinner booking (even during the week) at this father-and-son-owned restaurant simply because the food always delivers on taste, portion size, and how it's plated. The jovial ambience and pastel colors reminiscent of a Modena sunset add to the flavor of their modern Italian fare. With handmade pasta by chef son Vassilios Holiasmeno and Neapolitan-style pizzas (the kind where the dough is left to rise for at least two days before being wood-fired) on the menu, you can't go wrong for a quick breakfast bite, hearty lunch, or a romantic dinner date at this corner-side eatery, where locals return again and again.

    4th Ave., Johannesburg, Gauteng, 2120, South Africa
    010-900–0912

    Known For

    • Handmade and imported Italian products
    • Relaxed and unpretentious atmosphere
    • Being busy, which talks to the quality of the food
  • 3. Truffles on the Park

    $$$ | Sandton

    For a time out from Sandton’s skyscrapers, head to this bistro-style eatery with floor-to-ceiling windows and a living plant wall and planters that give it an urban jungle feel; there's even access to walking paths and a children’s play area. The menu features small plates, hot and cold salads, and a wide selection of main meals (try the Truffles Risotto Fillet) and vegan options. No matter where you choose to enjoy their signature elderflower gin and tonic---be it on the wooden deck or the casual beach area with its reclining benches and sand---you’ll be surrounded by a relaxed atmosphere.

  • 4. Turn 'n Tender

    $$$ | Illovo

    Meat is the specialty at this upmarket steak-house chain, with a wide range of steaks, ribs, and burgers to choose from. For something very South African—and yet a little different from the popular oxtail dish—try the lamb steak slow-cooked in a rich brown gravy. Aside from the Illovo branch, there are other Turn 'n Tender outlets in Bryanston, Parktown North, Bedfordview, and Boksburg. Details for each can be found on the chain's website.

    204 Oxford Rd., Johannesburg, Gauteng, 2196, South Africa
