On top of a wonderful (if rather alcohol saturated) day with my best friend, (explanation here) the lovely Ian came to join us and bought me a gift from The Counter, of which he is the co-owner! Amongst (is that a real word or did I just make it up?) a whole host of amazing…

Col’Cacchio, Monte Casino, Johannesburg
For those of you that haven’t worked it out yet, I am a bit of a creature of habit. If I like stuff, I go back. Repeatedly. Col’Cacchio is one of my return places. Next year however it’s going to be at the beginning of the trip, and not the day I am flying home!…
The Foundry, Parktown, Johannesburg
Our final stop of the day was at a lovely and popular restaurant called The Foundry. I really liked this one! It reminded me of a really nice gastro pub in London that I can’t remember the name of…. only cheaper and with much friendlier staff! By this point we hadn’t eaten in about an…
Moemas, Parktown, Johannesburg
After a quick liquid refreshment stop at a fairly grotty bar, we headed on over to Moemas in order to pick up some sweet treats for dinner. (Yes, after this food journey, there was also going to be dinner!) I have to say, I was a little disappointed with this selection. Maybe it was just…
Nice on 4th, Parkhurst, Johannesburg
“Nice” just is the wrong name for this bakery/bookshop. It should be called “Amazing” or “Divine” or “Heavenly”. “Nice” is thoroughly inadequate! I always approach bakeries and cake shops with a bit of a sinking heart. I know I am going to be disappointed. I know that the lovely looking gluten free cake will have…
Hudsons’ The Burger Joint, Parkhurst, Johannesburg
Or… Foodie Fun Day Stop 2! Thankfully it was a bit of a drive between 44 Stanley and Parkhurst, and we also started our second stop at the far end of Parkhurst. Well, it seemed the far end from where we came in! Hudsons’ The Burger Joint is famous for it’s burgers (funnily enough!), but…
Stanley Beer Yard, 44 Stanley, Johannesburg
Or, Foodie Fun Day Stop 1!! My friend Ian and I decided what we really needed was a afternoon of eating our way around Joburg. As you do. First stop was Stanley Beer Yard for some rather delicious sausages and craft beer! Joburg’s food scene is turning into hipster heaven, so naturally I had to go…
Awesome Day, Awesome Friends!
My wonderful friend Sharon and I decided we needed a girls lunch, and that carbs and cocktails were the way forward! I really, really wish she lived closer so that this was a regular occurance, but at least we get to catch up annually! We ended up in a place called Papachinos which is a…
Thunder Gun, Blackheath, Johannesburg
My first night in Jo’burg, we were meant to braai, but it was a tad windy (like, 37kmph gusts!), and threatening to rain. We did need feeding though, and I wanted steak because it’s South Africa after all! We tried a couple of places that we had been to before but they were fully booked. …
