One of the best seafood restaurants in Johannesburg. Amazing vibe and absolutely fantastic wine selection. Within walking distance from Westpoint(literally around the corner). Make sure to call and book especially over weekends. A bit pricey but you won't be disappointed.

Drinks & Nightlife

Restaurant SAINT in Sandton, walking distance from the unit has great bar area separate from the main restaurant that will keep you drinking and dancing late into the night. Everything from cocktails to the best whiskey and wine the world has to offer.
Trendy ultra popular speakeasy type bar that used to be a well kept secret. Male a reservation or you'll be waiting a long time for even a seat at the bar. Extensive array of cocktails served up by award winning bartenders with new recipes weekly. New York comes to Jozi. If you've ever been to Employees Only in Manhattan...you'll feel somewhat nostalgic.
