Fourways Food Guide: 10 Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Fourways
The district referred to as Fourways (which is a collection of suburbs, including the traditional suburb of Fourways) is the fastest-developing commercial and residential hub in northern Sandton, north of Johannesburg, South Africa. The main access routes to Fourways are off the N1 at R511 William Nicol Drive, or alternatively along R564 Witkoppen Road. It is located mostly in Region E of the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality. It is roughly as far as one can go in the city before metropolitan Johannesburg dissolves into rolling hills, gamefarms and the capital Pretoria, 55 kilometres to the northeast. Hartebeespoort Dam and the Magaliesburg Mountains lie half an hour to the north-west. It is bordered by Bryanston to the east and south and Randburg to the west.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 283 reviews
Located in the Michelangelo Towers at the Nelson Mandela Square, Pigalle Sandton has become a benchmark in urban-chic dining where government and business men and women swarm to wine and dine like kings and queens. The venue reflects the Goncalves brother's Mediterranean flair for life with its sumptuous vibe, specializing in exceptional seafood and superb international cuisine. There is something extraordinary for every palate at Pigalle with a sensational menu including impeccably prepared meat, fish and poultry dishes. Pigalle Sandton showcases elegant decor which sets a chic, up market ambience as well as successfully exhibiting and almost decadent yet exceptionally impressive urban-Baroque flavour. Lavish imported Italian fabrics, rich timber and gilded frames complete the opulent look and feel, while the smoking section boasts a breezy balcony with panoramic vistas of the Sandton CBD skyline.

Thank Goodness! The hotel our tour group stayed at here was nothing to write home about, but...at least we splurged on dinner our last night in Johannesburg! Dinner was wonderful, dessert was delightful, everyone was very well pleased with everything that night. I loved the traditional decor, very elegant and pleasing to the eye. The staff were gracious and we were a large group to handle all at once, yet they handled it quite well. If you are looking for a very nice fine dining experience, do go and maybe celebrate a special occasion!

Perfect ambient, perfect service, perfect food!
Located in Bryanston, this restaurant shows the old colonial ambient. And it's huge. Outside you have a fireplace.
The service is extra ordinary. Three different waiters were responsible for our table. And each waiter was a specialist in his profession and high motivated.
We tried the Kudu-fillet, the ordinary beef and several types of carpaccio. Absolute perfect!
Good wine and a good whisky were offered too.
We will come back, definitely.

We have two Private rooms available for both corporate and personal functions. The Johnnie Walker Private Room, and our Glenfiddich Private Room.

This place has it all. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, local game, great beef, nice wine, and wonderful desserts. It’s so popular that a quiet conversation may not be possible, but you’re not yelling at each other. By the way, it’s not connected to the current US president. Recommend.

An excellent restaurant. I had hake which was delicious and the amount was fantastic. If I had Known how much fish I would have I may have missed the superb calamari I had for starter. The meal for two including aperatifs and a bottle of Sauvignon cost about £35. Great value. Setting and ambiance also excellent.
7. Mezepoli Meze and Wine Bar
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 253 reviews
Reviewed By DMSCAD - London, United Kingdom
Went to Mezepoli with my wife for dinner. We sat outside. Food is Greek tapas style but tables are way too small to accommodate such tapas dishes; therefore the table required a lots of reorganising throughout the mean with the waiter explaining that the glass water bottles often end up falling and breaking due to the lack of space.
The food was on the whole very average. The Greek salad was nice but was seasoned with parsley, not traditional Greek salad herbs or at least some oregano. The hummus and pita breads were tasty and the beetroot ok. The anchovies (also covered in parsley) were very tart and the squid had a weird flavour and wasn't very hot (we didn't eat it and hence weren't charged). We then ordered the chicken wings (very delicious indeed) and the beef souvlaki (we had asked for no parsley but it arrived cold and with parsley. We sent it back).
Service was friendly, however.
On the whole, I was a bit disappointed. I expected a bit more from a place which has such strong reviews on TA.
I would not return.

Had a very relaxing dinner with my wife. Great live jazz background music with fantastic views.
Calamari stater and shushi were fantastic!! Lamb rump was okay, I had the duck orange before which I my view is there signature dish! Coffee and desert good! Service always good and staff very attentive .
Best wine list in Jhb, but expect to pay top $!
Wine glasses are Riedel so worth spending on a expensive wine.
Well done! Signature is a special place regardless being expensive!!
