Eat Out At These Latest Restaurants In Joburg

No Comments

Our favourite spots to get some really good food, exquisite drinks and enjoy the cream of the epicurean crop in Jozi… Est Est Alea Est Est Alea is a new tasting restaurant in Parktown North Johannesburg created by the acclaimed Chef Dario De Angeli, of Cube Tasting Kitchen fame.

Jamies Italian launch hearty new winter menu to much acclaim

No Comments

One of our favourite Italian restaurants has to be Jamie’s Italian located in Melrose Arch, we love the double volume dining area, and the mix of wooden tables and tiled walkways, and the fact that the kitchen is fully open, allowing the public a chance to catch a glimpse in to the buzz of the kitchen – which it certainly does do when it is busy! Jamies has been serving up yummy Italian nosh for a few years now, and have just issued a few changes to their highly popular menu. The thing that is so exciting about this menu change is that this is the first Jamie’s to deviate from the well known international standardised menu – and incorporate not only more local foods, but also uses sustainable ingredients sourced locally – thereby not only ensuring that the menu remains consistent, but also in some cases reducing the cost…
