Parisian cafe meets Mzanzi magic. A popular meeting spot for good food, good coffee, and a relaxed atmosphere. I think this is the perfect spot for cooler autumn weather and the eclectic decor makes it an essential part of this list.

Tucked away on a quiet side road. This little corner spot is oozing character and the food is full-on flavour. It originally started as a food market stall, and has since become a well-established force in Norwood's food scene. Their use of the freshest ingredients and traditional cooking methods makes this something truly memorable.
