“A superb operation: delicious food and impeccable service. The care taken in sourcing and the creation of every dish is to be admired. My lunch of tender, succulent lamb, great fries and béarnaise, accompanied by cold beer and chilled wine, was a welcome respite on a warm day in Johannesburg.” – Lew Rood, Eat Out user
WOMBLES highly commended (p. 110)
KWAZULU-NATAL ASIAN EATERY NAM JAI HOUSE THAI AND ROTATING SUSHI BAR winner
“A treat of note. After having a few drinks and cocktails, we sat down for supper. We had a super time with great food, lots of laughter, great service and very friendly staff. The chocolate spring rolls were to die for. Thank you for a fabulous evening.” – Erika Bennett, Eat Out user
BISTRO BOILER ROOM CAFÉ winner (p. 228)
“A great experience from the moment you see the gorgeous space. Open and airy, perfect for soaking up a gorgeous Durbs morning. Quick and friendly service, awesome coffee, and a playful and ever-changing menu. It’s on our Saturday morning rotation, and never disappoints. If Graham is featuring anything Mexican when you’re there, don’t miss it – he must have tequila running through his veins!” – Liz Hawthorne, Eat Out user

STEAKHOUSE THE LOCAL GRILL (PARKTOWN NORTH) winner (p. 109)
COUNTRY-STYLE EATERY OAKLANDS COUNTRY MANOR winner (p. 238)
“Locally sourced produce, perfectly prepared, and the flavours... Oh my. The staff are friendly, the atmosphere stunning and the food absolutely delicious. It has become like a second home for us. Try the fresh asparagus with Hollandaise and a poached egg for breakfast, with a side of bacon or local sausage. The Dargle Valley pork is simply amazing, and the hamburgers, well, they’re the best.” – Tessa Graham, Eat Out user
