It is an Italian restaurant, that is usually a lot of fun to go to, as they have TV coverage of sports, especially soccer!
We usually went to the Randburg Waterfront branch, but this no longer exists.
Their service is okay, but nothing special. The waitrons are usually students working for some extra money, so it’s not their profession.
Their pizzas are their best meal we think.
They are thin crust, come in three sizes and they have a large variety to choose from. You can also make your own pizza with a choice of your own ingredients.

What makes this place so special?....
I'll tell you, Tonino the father, Tony the son, annitta the ghost, (not really, but she's in all my dreams), this family owned and run restaurant/bar is at the bottom of the road our house is in....
without question the coldest beer in town and the warmest of atmosphere, karaoke a couple of times a week, piri piri anything you like the finest chicken livers in Africa and my friends..... Portuguese chicken that will make you lick your fingers to the bone, my piece of Portugal right here in sydenham...
all the food is prepared fresh so don't complain about the wait, just drink beer and enjoy the local custom...
always friendly and a warm greeting awaits you... tell them Danny sent you and they will charge you double.... ha ha ha ....

The Wimpy is synonomous with growing up as kids in South Africa.. the drive-thru, the roadhouse, the rest stop on the way to our holiday destination!
Family-orientated and reliable.
I have vivid memories of driving down to Durban from Johannesburg as a child, excitedly waiting to catch that first smell and then glimpse of the ocean! This conjures up nostalgic memories, which includes at elast 3 pit stops on the way there!
At the service stations they generally have the garage, a shop selling sundries and sweets, toilet facilities and some restaurants. The Wimpy is usually one of these.
The Wimpy is a bright and cheerful restaurant, which caters for the family and kids espacially. A much-needed service whilst travelling with kids!
The food is nothing spectacular in presentation to be honest, but it is tasty and simple and well priced.
We particularly enjoy thier breakfasts!
Rashers of bacon, mushrooms, eggs, tomato and baked beans (okay, I could've done without the beans..)
Their burgers are filling, their salads crisp and fresh...
If you are wanting something quick, cheap and simple to eat, this is the place to go!
ps: Their milkshakes are great too! Leave a Comment Theme: Autogrill/Rest StopPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageAddress: All over the country!Phone: 011 315 3000Website: http://www.wimpy.co.za/ Other Contact: info@wimpy.co.za

A bustling upmarket cafe in a newish, circular-shaped mall, Clearwater.
It serves superb food, and the service is cheerful and friendly (and accurate!).
There is a handy play area for kiddies close by. THis play area services the whole food court area, so you do need to stay with your child whilst they play, as it is not enclosed or supervised by anyone.
One lovely feature here is the mall's transparent roof opens sometimes. It is really lovely... walking through a mall with no roof over you!
The smoothies are worth a special mention for sure! They are just the right consistency, and not too rich/lacking in flavour.
Delicious!
I had a ham and cheese trammezzini, it was toasted and I was well-pleased. Too much food though, I had to leave some.
The others had salads and chicken wraps, which were also very nicely presented, fresh and crisp. I am quite fussy about freshness of food, especially salads.. and they are very good here.
Decent quantities too!

This is now our favourite restaurant of all in Johannesburg. We went for the first time in October 2006 and will be going again when next in Johannesburg at the beginning of February 2007.
We were with my family - 5 adults and a toddler - and thoroughly enjoyed it!!!
The waitron comes to you with a blackboard with the menu written in chalk... he goes thorugh the menu with you, answering any questions you might have.
We were impressed with his knowledge of how dishes were made, and his manner. Professional and friendly.
The dessert menu is then presented in a unique way: on a platter!
They have a sample of each dessert with it's name on it on a platter, and you can choose from there which one oyu would like. Often, one has no idea what a dessert will look like when it has a fancy name... this way you know exactly what you are getting!
It's a fantastic idea!
So there's the cakes, mousses, tarts etc... tantalising!!!
There is a lovely rustic outdoor area (they are situated on a large agricultural property, so there's lots of space!) where the kids can play and there is a lovely patio area near a fountain. We are going for a lunch in January and this is where we will be sitting... in the glorious sunshine!
The indoor restaurant is more formally rustic, with crimson red table cloths and starch white napkins, and this, together with the high arched ceilings and fireplaces, lends an elegant and romantic ambiance.
Having not had a decent rack of ribs for some time, this is exactly what I felt like. Pork ribs, not beef ribs.
This was accompanied by a large plate of fresh green salad, instead of the usual side of fries. The others had kingklip, a lobster, a steak and my brother had a pizza.
Service is efficient and friendly. Wine, a Beyerskloof Pinotage, was d i v i n e ...
This restaurant is HIGHLY recommended. Has that something special.

This is a South African chain of restaurants that specialise in seafood.
We have been to a few in various parts of the country, and they generally have good service.
The last time we went was to the Monte Casino branch...
Service was okay, not as good as usual to be honest, they got the order wrong and we waited too long for one dish, and as we wouldn’t eat till she had got her dish, ours then got cold. So they had to warm them up again.
It is important that dishes for one table are served together, we feel.
Other than that, it was a thoroughly enjoyable meal! And of course we will be back!
The food is excellent quality here, but you do pay for it!
Even when we come here when on holiday (sending British Sterling), we feel the prices are too high.
The food is really good though.
We usually have seafood platters, which serve two people. Very well I might add! We always have leftovers.
One always leaves here sated and satisfied! Leave a Comment

I`m not fond of dining at the food court in any shopping mall in the world,,but this small restaurant is certainly diffirent.
It serves freshly made dishes,big portions,with affordable prices.I didnt take any pictures of the place though I dined there twice in 6 days!!( I guess was too busy eating:-)
The fried calamary served with mixed fried rice.

I have been quite a few times, it is a favoured steakhouse chain in South Africa.
They are a slightly upmarket chain, where the food is good quality and service just fine.
It is a tad expensive here, but you will have a good meal. Guaranteed.
One particular occasion stands out.
It was my sister’s birthday and she had invited 18 people along to celebrate.
Of the 18 people, 14 decided to have pork spare ribs!!! They are reknown for their ribs and so I guess we weren’t too surprised.
The funny thing was, when we had all finished our ribs (and they were large racks, that bent up a bit), prior to the waitron retrieving the empty plates, we took a photo… of 14 plates along this long table, with lots of empty ribs!
We looked like a bunch of ferocious carnivores!
Other dishes are also good, but ribs are a personal favourite here. Leave a Comment
