The incredible Banchan Korean Restaurant in Parkmore!

ello, March! It’s officially that time of year when things started getting real. We’re two months into the new year (can you believe it?) and it’s time to start ticking things off that #20plenty bucket list! With that in mind, we thought there’s no better time to put together an issue dedicated to eating and travelling like a true Joburger, filled with must-dos to experience the City of Gold like a local. Our cover star this month is the newest addition to the hot foodie district of Linden that locals are already flocking to on weekends – Gaucho Restaurant. Flip to our cover feature to read all about this gem dedicated to the food cultures of South America along with two other local hotspots. A personal favourite is Sotto Sopra, the new Italian restaurant that’s opened on Keyes Art Mile. The Malfy G&Ts and top-notch pizzas at this colourful, art-filled spot are what Sunday afternoon dreams are made of !
The African-inspired Qunu at The Saxon Hotel in Sandhurst is always special Saigon Suzy in Fourways – it’s one to add to your Jozi bucket list!
Here’s to a marvellous March!

Other must-reads in this issue include our Leisure Activities feature on what Joburgers actually do on weekends (you’ll be surprised!) and our Conferencing & Events feature on where to conference for a taste of Mzansi, including some lifestyle add-ons for when the workday is said and done. If you have little ones, it doesn’t mean you’ll have to miss out on the fun – simply go to our Hello Junior section for our roundup of places in and around Jozi to help you survive the weekends with baby.
