Johannesburg

Safari

Carnivore Johannesburg, Muldersdrift Estate, Drift Boulevard (T:+27 11 957 2099). This is the South African Chapter of the great Kenyan restaurant. The basic menu is anything that exists on a Safari Trip! Don't be tempted by the bread and soup, keep your stomach ready for the main courses which can include Zebra, Giraffe or even crocodile.

Greensleves Medieval Kingdom, (T:+27 11 956 6300). If you are looking to have a quiet night in then this is not the place for you. It is also not the place to go with one or two people, you need to be a group to really enjoy this medieval reproduction evening of debauchery! I recommend taking at least 5-6 people with you. The basic idea of the restaurant is to dress you up in medieval English clothes and then take you back to the time of kings, queens, knights, ladies, serfs, wenches and lackeys with no cutlery and old fashioned food narrated by a somewhat enthusiastic mâitre'd! Good fun.

The Butcher Shop, 30 Sandton Square, Benmore (T:+27 11 784 8676/7). This is really a butchers shop and you can probably still buy a pound of meat here but its greatest attraction is the fact that this shop also hosts a very sizeable restaurant with similarly sized portions to go with it. You can gorge on a 1Kilo T-Bone steak or an 800g Fillet Steak or even a rack of ribs that will need a finger bowl the size of a bucket (which, by the way, it is). Lots of fun, good place to eat and I strongly recommend it!
Browns, 21 Wessels Rd, Rivonia (T:+27 11 803 7605 or 083 456 8303). Very nice and pleasant Portuguese style restaurant. Good fun and great prices.
