Johannesburg, Gauteng Food Guide: 5 Mediterranean food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Soweto
Find out what Mediterranean restaurants to try in Soweto. An acronym for South Western Townships, Soweto was dubbed as such in 1963. The area began in the late 19th century as a temporary neighborhood for gold mine workers, then later became a black Johannesburg ghetto with forced apartheid settlement. In 1976, Soweto garnered international headlines with its deadly uprising against Afrikaans-only language education. The Mandela Family Museum and the recently restored Credo Mutwa Village (with its Zulu and Sotho homesteads) are two can't-miss sights.

We had the most wonderful experience at this restaurant in the large shopping complex! Our server( and I am very sorry I don't remember his exact name..Linius?.. definitely began with " L") was SOO attentive and made some great suggestions including wine.The food was impeccable..we tried a large assortment and all was AMAZING!!! We enjoyed our meal so much we went back for dinner the following night..not only because of food but server. Prices were reasonable and a nice ambiance . Also, the manager was very kind and greeted us and had a pleasant discussion both times. If you are looking for a dinner with fantastic food reasonably priced, attentive and knowledgeable staff, Fishmonger is the place! You will not be disappointed!

Run by the Da Cunha Family.
Reviewed By adventuressCA
Fun ambiance and service superb. That doesnât make up for fact fish was rubbery and not properly cooked. Seasoning was uneventful. Hoped for more peri peri taste although they had sauce in table. Not the same as grilled with sauce. Liver starter excellent. Also excellent security getting in and out from street. Sketchy neighborhood way off the grid. Take taxi not safe.

Large choice on the menu leaves you taking ages to order, however the waiters are very helpful. Greek salad is exceptional. Service is great in a lovely ambience.
