You just cant say no!: Milky Lane
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Yet another family favourite... You know what you will be getting and it’s not pricey.

    It is brightly coloured, fresh and funky.

    Service is merely okay, nothing fantastic in our general experience. But as we usually pop by here for a dessert, not a meal, it is not worth complaining about.

    If you are feeling like a waffle, then this is the place to come!

    They are yummy, crispy, with generous dollops of cream or ice cream. They pop other bits and pieces on the waffle too, like peppermint crisp bits. Absolutely yummy, albeit fattening!

    So I never had any this last time, only hubby did.

    I had a good cup of strong coffee though!

    With our hostess and her little daughter we visited the covered market at Waterfront Harbour. Lots of food stalls where Indian or African food was made.
    It all looked very fresh and appetizing.
    I bought samosa's all the time. Love those.

    carnivore: cultural experience
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • The central attraction of the restaurant is a large circular open fire with 52 converted Masaai tribal spears holding a variety of 15 different types of gently roasted meat such as pork, lamb, beef, chicken, ribs and sausages and including game meats such as crocodile, zebra, giraffe, impala, ostrich, just to name a few!

    This unique restaurant offers "Africa's Greatest Eating Experience".

    The feast begins with homemade soup and honeybread. A Lazy Susan with six salads and meat sauces is brought to your table. Waiters circulate wielding Masaai spears with a wide variety of succulent meats, ranging from beef and chicken to ostrich and kudu, to name just a few, all charcoal grilled on an open fire and expertly carved directly onto your hot cast iron plate.

    This "Beast of a Feast" is complimented with traditional "pap" and sauce and baked potatoes. On 'surrender', a selection of five different desserts with tea or coffee round off the meal.

    Vegetarian dishes and an a la carte menu are also available.

    Melville!!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Probably the best place to eat in Jo'burg is in the Melville area. I think the name of this place is the Service Place, but i could be wrong. But if you ask anyone in the area i'm sure they could tell you what it is. In general, while the food isn't exactly cheap (well, super cheap if you're spending hard western currency), but it's definietly worth it. I'm sure it is pretty expensive by South African standards, but well worth it...actually all the restaurants in Melville were.

    Mimmos: Mother of pizza :)
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • We have been going here since kids. It is an Italian restaurant, that is usually a lot of fun to go to, as they have TV coverage of sports, especially soccer!

    We usually went to the Randburg Waterfront branch, but this no longer exists.

    Their service is okay, but nothing special. The waitrons are usually students working for some extra money, so it’s not their profession.

    The Wynburg (Cape Town) restaurant holds a particularly special memory for us!

    When we got married in October 2001, we had an Afternoon Tea. As it always goes with weddings, we didn’t get to eat much at all, what with chatting with the guests, having photographs taken etc.

    So when we finally left, and arrived at the B&B for our wedding night, we were starving!

    The hostess had kindly laid fresh white rose petals all over the bed in the shape of a heart, with some champagne for the ready on the sideboard.

    We got out of our wedding gear (my hair was still in the wedding braids with ivy leaves though!), hopped into the car and dashed to Mimmos! We got a large chicken pizza and took it back to the B&B. We had our own secluded cabin in their expansive garden, it was quite private.

    So our very first meal as newlyweds was pizza and champagne!!!

    Their pizzas are their best meal we think.

    They are thin crust, come in three sizes and they have a large variety to choose from. You can also make your own pizza with a choice of your own ingredients.

    Spur Steak and Grill: Family orientated Spur
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • In South Africa we were practically brought up with this restaurant chain, with it's red indian theme. As adults we dont go here nearly as much as it is child orientated, where kiddies join the 'Spur Secret Tribe!'

    It's great for birthday parties and the like. As adults though, the food is yummy, portions sizeable, and we always have a good time here, rarely being disappointed.

    Dont go hear of you feel like a romantic evening though, because it is aimed for the kiddies. Fair warning!!

    There are so many superb dishes, I will name a few highly recommended.

    Lazy-aged steak, Various burgers with really great patties, Cheddamelt Schnitzels, Deep friend calamari, Linefish, Half ranch chicken, Nachos, Spur t-bone steak, Spur spare ribs, Enchiladas and their Salad Valley.

    This is my favourite.

    Their salad vallies are a buffet-style section with tons of different salads, from green to pasta.

    They do cater for vegetarians.

    Their chocolate brownies are a firm favourite for dessert too.

    A walk along the sandy beach in front of the Westbrook Beach Hotel. Being from Atlantic Canada, it was exhilarating to have the big waves roaring in off the ocean with the warm wind blowing through your hair! The hotel also had a great swimming pool just up off the beach!

    African and Afrikaaner: Native Cuisines
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • South Africa has fantastic food ranging from the indigenous foods to fusions cuisines brought by the settlers. The staple of indigenous cuisine is the yam. The Dutch settlers (afrikaaners) also brought a unique cuisine to the country.

    Favorite dish - Peri Peri Chicken

    Black Steer: Reliable meat restaurant
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • I have been quite a few times, it is a favoured steakhouse chain in South Africa.

    They are a slightly upmarket chain, where the food is good quality and service just fine.

    It is a tad expensive here, but you will have a good meal. Guaranteed.

    One particular occasion stands out...

    It was my sister’s birthday and she had invited 18 people along to celebrate.

    Of the 18 people, 14 decided to have pork spare ribs!!! They are reknown for their ribs and so I guess we weren’t too surprised.

    The funny thing was, when we had all finished our ribs (and they were large racks, that bent up a bit), prior to the waitron retrieving the empty plates, we took a photo… of 14 plates along this long table, with lots of empty ribs!

    We looked like a bunch of ferocious carnivores!

    Other dishes are also good, but ribs are a personal favourite here.
