10. News Cafe Newtown
Reviewed By Rajbothra
I visited this place on Friday and hoping for some nice dance and drinks. I could manage to get some nice drinks and food. But dancing was tough as entire cafe was crowded. Less place to move around. Music is pretty amazing. Overall it's a great place. Mainly locals like to hangout this place.

Nice atmosphere and good service (even if it was almost empty).We order few dim sum but the quality wasnât good.The salmon was really tasty but small portions and overpriced.The deserts was good but nothing special If Iâll go again Iâll try the sushi.For 3 dim sum, 1 salmon, 1 water and 2 deserts we paid 700 rand.A bit overpriced

I used to go to Foundry but they changed the food menu.Itâs still a nice pub with great atmosphere, good choice of beers and drinks but unfortunately they changed the food menu. While before was a great place for a dinner (I still remember the lamb shank + ostrich fillet), it now serves more tapas e finger food dishes with a relatively small option of main courses.

Found the restaurant on google and based on the website, we decided to celebrate birthday's. Being from Durban, the restaurant was slightly difficult to find based on WAZE. Parking is very inconvenient as we had to walk in heels to the restaurant which was a good walk away. Upon the elevator doors opening, the restaurant is beautiful, well lit and spacious. we where escorted to our table and asked immediately to place our drink orders. Once the drinks arrived we where asked to place our orders. the waiter insisted we place our starters and mains at the same time. We asked the waiter for his suggestions and ironically he pushed the most expensive meals down our throat, R900 for a steak sheesh dairy cow or not that is a bit much! However we managed to order what WE wanted. The prawn and avo starter is absolutely amazing and is a must try, for my main i had the sirloin steak, was not the greatest but was good. The dessert menu then came, and i had to remind the waiter that we where celebrating two birthdays'. I made a reservation and sent a follow up email to confirm this. I was a bit annoyed with having to remind the waiter that we were celebrating a birthday in front of the people who where celebrating their birthdays. We received ice cream with a card. We also had the ice cream cookie, nothing extraordinary, but the cinnamon meringue is amazing.Visit for the experience, and Instagram photo but nothing would really make me want to return.

A stalwart of the Rosebank scene. I've visited here on many occasions while visiting Joburg. Good mixed menu of burger/salad/grill type options, in a buzzy setting at the heart of the mall. A classic brunch spot too and great for people watching. Service always friendly, but can be a little slow, especially when busy.

Creative menu that will satisfy any foodie, making use of seasonal/local ingredients, presented beautifully by a chef who obviously takes pride in his work. He made a point of visiting our table when we arrived. We stayed at the hotel and liked the food so much we ate at the restaurant every night rather than venturing out. We couldn't imagine finding better elsewhere!Dear gmw725, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. It's lovely reading how you enjoyed your time and Clico and we proud to hear how you enjoyed the meals and that you got to meet our Chef. Who is indeed a very creative chef. We look forward to having you back with us real soon. Kind RegardsJaco Wheeler

View references the city's art scene without pretention or fuss. The space is meant to resemble an art gallery, reflecting the inky shades of the cityscape just after sunset, graduating from midnight blue to pale shades of light blue. Restrained interiors

As part of our stay at the Four Seasons, we took the opportunity to dine at the View. We were not disappointed. The 5-course tasting menu with local wine pairing was exquisite. Each course was masterfully assembled and the combination of ingredients and textures was amazing. The service was very attentive and so friendly - we felt very well taken care of. We will no doubt visit here again and recommend this restaurant highly. Oh and the view was stunning.Dear georginah2,Thank you for taking the time to send us a review and I am so please to read that you had a fantastic time with us.We look forward to welcoming you back.Kind RegardsNataliePublic Relations Manager
