All things Foodie:<\/strong>
\nYou\u2019ve probably seen a thousand memes, but there\u2019s no other way to put it:<\/p>\n

Winter is coming. <\/strong><\/p>\n

In fact, we\u2019re pretty sure it\u2019s already here. It definitely feels like it already. We know it\u2019s hard to find a bright side when things seem pretty drab and dreary, but we\u2019re firm believers in the power of positivity. More so, we believe in the magnificence of winter.<\/p>\n

The key is focusing on the opportunities rather than allowing your chattering teeth to distract you. Where others see cold fingers, we see steaming bowls of soup. Where others see icy mornings, we see cosy nights snuggled under a whole lot of blankets. We see warmth, we see love, we see intimate moments and a million different comforts.
\nMost of all, however, we see comfort food. Lots of it. And, to us, that\u2019s just wonderful.<\/p>\n

Sandton Central<\/strong> <\/a>is known for lots of things. Property, commerce, industry and, of course, the best shopping in Africa. But one of our (not so hidden) talents is our ability to love, facilitate and create the most amazing food.<\/p>\n

You know what we\u2019re talking about.<\/p>\n

That finger licking, mouth-watering, sumptuous meal you\u2019ve been dreaming about all week. Warm bowls of deliciousness. Tender, juicy meat or steaming, flavourful veg. Soft fluffy pastries baked to perfection. Succulent chicken. Pizza fresh out the oven; gooey, saucy and coated with flavour.<\/p>\n

You name it, we\u2019ve got it, and to combat the winter blues we\u2019re discussing all things edible. Now, where do we begin? Let\u2019s start with something different\u2026<\/p>\n

Parc Ferm\u00e9<\/a>:<\/strong>
\nWe\u2019d like to begin by venturing far and wide with a collection of breakfasts, lunches and dinners that combine the best of French and Mauritian cuisine. Situated in the heart of our CBD, this chic and classy establishment is as pleasing on the eye as it is on the palate. Take a seat and enjoy the d\u00e9cor while you soak in the hustle and bustle of true metropolitan life. Combine this with impeccable service and fresh, sophisticated, indulgent meals and you\u2019ve got a recipe for perfection. Refined yet understated and unbelievably delicious, you can\u2019t go wrong with this one.<\/p>\n

Find them at 8 Maude St, Sandton Central, Johannesburg, 2146<\/p>\n

\"All<\/p>\n

Koi Restaurant<\/a>:<\/strong>
\nIs there a better combination than originality and flair? We think not, especially when it comes to a memorable dining experience. Koi has become so famous for its innovative cuisine, we\u2019re pretty sure it\u2019s attained legendary status. Contemporary Asian food amalgamated with a touch of Western style – there\u2019s literally something for everyone.<\/p>\n

As far as sushi goes, you can\u2019t get much better than the cream of the crop. Complement this with one of their signature wines<\/a> or, if you\u2019re not the drinking type, a dose of pure indulgence from their in-house tea-house. Seriously, we can\u2019t think of anything more comforting than hot tea on these cold winter days, and it\u2019s worth a visit alone just for a cup of perfection. Contemporary and refined like the rest of the menu, each flavour is carefully selected and imported from overseas. Once ordered, the brew is handmade for you and served in a Japanese cast iron teapot.<\/p>\n

Talk about silver linings this cold season.<\/p>\n

\"All<\/p>\n

The Raj:<\/strong>
\nLet\u2019s be honest, we can\u2019t discuss good food without mentioning Indian cuisine. And, as far as the Far East goes, it doesn\u2019t get better than The Raj.
\nThere\u2019s a reason they\u2019ve been in business since 1995 – they do the simple things well. Actually, we say simple things, but there\u2019s nothing simple about the deep, complex and intricate flavours behind every dish served to eager customers.<\/p>\n

In terms of authentic Indian dining experiences, you truly need to look no further. Spicy and delicious yet amazingly traditional, the menu explores (and perfects) classics such as Tikka Masala, Korma and Vindaloo. Just saying the words makes our mouths water.<\/p>\n

Our favourite dish is an easy pick and one that should only be missed at your own peril. We\u2019re talking Butter Chicken. Rich, delicate, creamy and delicious (all adjectives you want to hear when discussing food), the dish combines delicate Tandoori chicken in a delectable tomato and cashew nut gravy. Pair this with a butter naan and you literally have heaven on a plate. Alternately, swap the chicken for Paneer (an Indian version of home-made cheese), and you\u2019re guaranteed all the taste with absolutely none of the flavour compromised.<\/p>\n

Things are shaping up pretty chilly this season, and we can\u2019t think of a better way to spice up your life.<\/p>\n

\"All<\/p>\n

Pigalle<\/a>:<\/strong>
\nYou didn\u2019t think we\u2019d leave this out, did you?<\/p>\n

The only way to describe Pigalle is \u201cexceeds expectations\u201d. Once you\u2019ve recovered from the sheer beauty of their glass balustrades, mahogany tables, Spanish chandeliers, Italian marble and oil paintings, you can get down to what really matters.<\/p>\n

A succulent menu that just screams extravagance, this establishment represents the pinnacle of urban-chic dining experiences. Start off with Escargot, move on to ostrich fillet or lobster thermidor and end with a delectable chocolate mousse. But, then again, any meal is transformed into an unforgettable event once you enter their doors.
\nThe combination of luxury and fine dining is executed perfectly, with the result being a restaurant which has since risen to the top of our bucket lists. If it\u2019s not on yours, you might want to check that.<\/p>\n

\"All<\/p>\n

Our array of amazing eateries doesn\u2019t stop there – far from it, in fact. There are ample famous franchises like Nandos, Popeyes and Debonairs to suit more conservative budgets. Our coffee shop at the Da Vinci<\/strong><\/a> is majestic enough to make you feel like it\u2019s worth it without denting your pocket too much. And, of course, those family friendly favourites such as Nonnas<\/strong><\/a> (try the Tiramisu, just take our word for it!) or Rocomamas<\/strong><\/a> will always hit the spot.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, it comes down to what you feel for. But rest assured, no matter your pallet, there\u2019s comfort food galore within our walls. So next time the winter blues are weighing you down and a good, hearty meal is just what you need to hit the spot, look no further.<\/p>\n

You know we\u2019ve got you covered this chilly season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
