Eating Out in the Gauteng Province

Although it is the country’s smallest province, Gauteng remains one of the busiest and most diverse. This is also the starting point for millions of international tourists every year, who descend on Johannesburg’s OR Tambo International Airport, at the ready for a South Africa adventure of a lifetime.

Did you know? The hipster city, sited by Rough Guides as the number one city to visit in 2015, Johannesburg is sprawling, wired, culturally and historically rich, and the commercial heart of the country.

Gauteng is home to Johannesburg, Pretoria, and Centurion, as well as many smaller towns and areas. The streets of these bustling metropolises are flanked by vibey restaurants for weary shopaholics, tourists that are perusing and photographing the streets of the city, and those with discerning palates and a hankering for all things delicious.

These cities boast restaurants of all kinds and their menus reflect influences from other countries around the world as well as strong ties to the lip-smacking traditional South African dishes. They range from pubs and cocktail bars to silver service restaurants; from take-away outlets to charming country spots with old-world charm and appeal. They are ideal for a quick lunch with the kids, an outing with friends, celebrating a special event, or a corporate get-together.

The surrounding mountains and plains of South Africa are simply beautiful, and it is a joy to explore these at leisure. Travellers will, no doubt, discover farm stalls, coffee shops, and unique little restaurants nestled amongst the villages of Gauteng, which always makes these sojourns all the more interesting and rewarding.
