Set in the south of the CBD, this restaurant/bar concept is bit of a trek from Sandton but those who make the effort are rewarded with one of the best views of Jo’burg’s skyline – particularly stunning at dusk. A favourite of artists, intellectuals and politicians, the bar offers a decent wine list and a selection of local beers, so chill and settle in for an alcohol-drenched afternoon. When the drinking gets a little too much the selection of Mozambican and Portuguese food goes a long way into filling the gaps and soaking up some of that excess booze. Recently nominated one of the top dining venues in South Africa, be rest assured anything you order is likely to be pretty damn fabulous.
