Alan, who grew up in his father's butcher shop near Cape Town, now offers exceptional meats in the Sandton area. Beware, the name of the establishment can be quite misleading, so don't be fooled: this is not a grill-snack but a gourmet restaurant. Here, the meats are selected according to the origin and the feeding of the cattle, then put to stale in particular rooms. Once in your plate, you can enjoy the perfect cooking at the Butcher Shop & Grill.

Finally, here's a casual restaurant that's not in a shopping mall or next to the road! Leave your car in the parking lot and enter the realm of fresh fish. Walk down the wooden steps, leave the first room behind and reach a beautiful tropical garden. There, under the soft foliage, beware all the same of birds' nests, you will finally feel... in Africa. Simply choose your fish or seafood on the ice bench and off you go to the grill! Extra.

In the Parkwood neighborhood, it's a little piece of Argentique that you'll find in Joburg. Oscar and Bernardo, one from Uruguay the other from Argentina, share their love for good meat. The pieces are hearty, tender, cut and cooked before your eyes, on the grill, if you sit at the bar. It's up to you to choose your side dish: grilled vegetables, sweet potatoes, garlic-fried potatoes... The room is huge, airy and decorated with industrial elements, obviously, that's where the soul of Parkwood lies.

You will find an excellent quality/price ratio.

Be the epicurean that this good table calls. Sophisticated African cuisine revisited by Chef Coco in Epicure's lovely modern decor. This Belgio-Congolese does miracles with flavours. A new gastronomic wave, innovative dishes, magnificent on the plates and exciting. On one side is the restaurant and its blue, beautiful and comfortable benches, with a nice sample of the cellar on the surrounding shelves, and on the other is the bar, an establishment you are sure to remember!

The name of the restaurant is reminiscent of the famous song by Miriam Makeba, a South African singer committed to the fight against apartheid. But today's Pata Pata is a nice little restaurant in the heart of the trendy Maboneng district. Here, you can enjoy local cuisine and delicious cuts of meat like T-bone, for example. Large wooden tables, live music almost every night and cocktails that announce a nice atmosphere and above all a very good evening in prospect!
