Sandton and Surrounds (Category) - 42 posts

For my last blog post of the year I visited Moray Drive, Bryanston, to check out Joburg's best Christmas lights display.

Rivonia, a suburb in Joburg's far-northern reaches, has become one of the best places in town -- if not the best place -- for pan-Asian food.

We took a food tour through Alexandra Township and learned lots of new things, including about a new "Mexi-kasi" restaurant there.

Vice, a coffee shop next to the CNR Cafe in Craighall Park, serves single-origin Mexican coffee and an interesting smorgasbord of foods.

Toasted is a coffee shop/toasted sandwich cafe, hidden in the courtyard of an office building on Jan Smuts Avenue in Parkwood.

When I visit an interesting new Jozi restaurant, I don't always get around to blogging about it. Here are several good ones I've eaten at in recent weeks.

I tried out Coalition Pizza's Kitchen Table experience at their shop in Pineslopes. I will never see Marherita pizza the same way again.

I found myself not cycling on a cycle ride through Alexandra Township. I had a great time visiting some old favoriates and also discovering new places.

Lexi's Healthy Eatery is a brand-new, sustainable, mostly vegetarian restaurant in Sandton. The food is as delicious as it is beautiful.

In this installment of my Favorite Jozi Coffeeshops series I review Flynn Coffee, a tiny, hidden coffeeshop next to a furniture warehouse in Kramerville.

I was invited for lunch at the Kramerville Bakery, a bakery above a plumbing supply shop. It was so good that I had to go back for breakfast.

I spent an evening at the Stall Night Market at Cedar Square Mall in Fourways. Despite my initial judginess about night markets, I had a great time.
