New restaurants are popping up all over Johannesburg and existing spots are expanding their concepts to new locations.

Tempo Luxury

Tempo Luxury is a beautiful restaurant with lovely food brought to the public by chef Bonga Williams and AURUM’s head chef Paulo Santos.

Located within the Rivonia Crossing Shopping Centre on Witkoppen Road, the restaurant is poised to redefine the dining and nightlife experience in Johannesburg. The restaurant houses a remarkable 360-degree bar serving as the focal point of this culinary haven.

It has a chic lounge for daytime indulgence, private cabanas, VIP booths and expansive outdoor spaces.

EL&N London

After much popular demand, London's most Instagram-worthy café opened its doors at the Mall of Africa last year.

The famous café and lifestyle chain from the UK is internationally known for its innovative menu offering, unique interiors, and speciality coffee.

The design of the store features a bespoke tree-of-light chandeliers with over 500 LED bulbs, painting a glow over the pretty pink and green interiors.

The development team at EL&N has brought a touch of localisation to the Mall of Africa menu with brand new steaks and grills, as well as its first-ever pizza bar, offering eleven rustic wood-fired pizzas, made fresh every day from the pizza oven.

EL&N founder Alexandra Miller said: “We are over the moon to celebrate our first opening in South Africa at the Mall of Africa. We’re bringing a touch of London to Johannesburg with our unique designs and an incredible menu offering.”
