Coobs

March 4, 2015

Coobs-13

The other night we went and had dinner at a cute little eatery in Parkhurst called Coobs. This restaurant is one of my most favourite places in Joburg, so if you’re looking for a cool spot to hang out and have a good meal you should definitely pay them a visit.

We got chatting to the owner James who was telling us about how he sources the majority of his ingredients from his farm Brightside and what I love is that his menu changes frequently according to what is available or in season. James is such a great character and he is really passionate about Coobs and the food that it puts out.

Cafe Del Sol Botanico

Cafe Del Sol Botanico-1

One of my most favourite restaurants in Johannesburg is Cafe Del Sol in Olivedale. I have only eaten there a handful of times, because it’s not the kind of place you can just arrive at and expect to be seated, you have to book way in advance, but man is it worth the wait. So when I learnt that the same owners were opening up second branch called Cafe Del Sol Botanico in The Bryanston Shopping Centre, my stomach literally did a cartwheel.

A little while back on Jobest we reviewed the very cool space that is The Jungle in Craighall Park. This beautifully curated shop is the new project from the same folk who bought you Warm and Glad. I love finding places that have had a lot of thought put into the interior and the offering and The Jungle is definitely one of my most favourites spots in the city at the moment.

jobest

As you know, Anna-Belle and I have started a new blog called Jobest, which is all about awesome places in and around Johannesburg to go to. The site is going to review all sorts of spots, from restaurants, to hotels, to shops, to resorts to parks, to pools, etc etc

So if you know of any places that you think would be worth our while checking out, even if it’s an underground gold plated volcano (you know how rare those are), then please drop me a mail and let me know about it so that we can get it on Jobest.

A la Bouffe

A-la-Bouffe-1

A-la-Bouffe-2

A little while back Anna-Belle and I literally stumbled across this amazing French restaurant in Linden called A la Bouffe, which we was one of the first restaurants that we featured on Jobest. We were so glad that we found this spot because honestly their food was some of the best I’ve tasted in a while. Everything, including the bread is homemade right in their kitchen and once a dish runs, out then it’s no longer available for the day. I’m still dreaming about their Goose Liver/Chicken Pate we scoffed down, shoo.
