Wow I love this place and wish I lived closer. I visited after a Parkrun on Saturday morning and had to wait for a table. It was well worth it. Efficient and professional service from the start. The drinks menu is really interesting with offerings like lemon meringue shakes, pineapple ginger lemon thyme tea, milk tart iced coffee and whippet unicorn hot chocolate. I had the sweetcorn stack and was offered an egg with it, best breakfast Iâve had in ages. Great service. They have outdoor seating too so itâs a lovely breakfast and lunch meeting place. Prices are good too.Wow Natasha - you just made our week! Thanks for the detailed review - I have shared all of these with the team and I can promise you it was all smiles!Thx again and hope to see you again!

I visited this restaurant upon recommendation of the business associate I was meeting. What a gem hidden away in a leafy suburb. Quirky decor, friendly team and great variety of food and drinks on offer. Very relaxed, casual atmosphere. I chose fried haloumi for a starter, which was presented on a pretty plate and well presented. However, the portion was rather tiny (maybe unfair of me to compare to the generous portions served at Greek restaurants). The sweet chilli sauce with the haloumi was more sweet than chilli. For main course I chose beetroot ravioli with sage butter. Totally fantastic taste and I just loved the plate of pink food. The minus one star is for the underwhelming haloumi, but I will go again to try other dishes.

Me and my nieces were encouraged to visit Nice, we arrived after 10:30 in the morning without a reservation. We got punished for our enthusiasm with a forty minute wait for an inside table. The service was excellent and the food looked amazing. Note Restaurants in Johannesburg during winter that donât heat the plates on which they place food, will serve cold food. We were so disappointed that our beautiful looking food arrived like warm. The crumpets were enjoyed by all, the eggs Benedict basket of hot would have been marvelous but cold medium eggs donât do it. The boy Ross bun chai is a must try. I think as a summer spot. Ice would be amazing however as a winter outing I would give it a miss

Us group of ladies met up on Saturday afternoon for a bit of R&R and decided that Paul it would be. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and made a plan to seat us, even though we did not make a reservation.Unfortunately we had to send the first bottle of white wine back, as it was really warm, but what saved the day and turned it into a sparkling moment was the crème brulee!! Oh my word! What a gastronomical experience!I will even go back for more!

An exciting new eating concept in the heart of Sandton City. Come and dine under the shade of our family tree and one of Africa's largest chandeliers.

Located on the second level of Sandton City mall. Very good food with a local menu as well as international. Nice decor and excellent service, and quiet even though it is located over one of mall's shopping corridors. Seems to be frequented by local couples. We had dinner and returned for lunch the next day.
