Please feel free to add on
Ethos

I’ve only had their Tapas but I’d highly recommend. Aesthetically pleasing and a broad wine selection.
They close the kitchen between 3 and 6 to prepare for dinner.
I find it a bit romantic
La Parada
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📍" title="Round pushpin" aria-label="Emoji: Round pushpin">Waterfall Corner

Overlooking Waterfall Estate with a stunning view. Menu isn’t quite vast. Ideal for lunch dates in beautiful spaces. (1/2)
(2/2) corkage fee=R50

I’d recommend taking your own bottle.
Cradle Boutique Hotel

If you’re looking to leave the city for a while but don’t want to go far, this is the perfect place.
A hidden gem in the midst of nature
Perfect for date nights or week aways (It’s in a hotel)
Marble
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📍" title="Round pushpin" aria-label="Emoji: Round pushpin">Rosebank

Chef’s table or nothing. Witness as they prepare and plate your food. A foodie’s dream. With a stunning view of Northcliff at night. The food is out of this world
Pont De Val
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📍" title="Round pushpin" aria-label="Emoji: Round pushpin"> vanderbijlpark

Another breathtaking hidden gem. Worth the drive. A bit far from joburg.
A romantic restaurant by the Dam(book a boat ride as well) in the midst of trees and nature.
I can’t comment on the foodhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤦🏽‍♀️" title="Woman facepalming (medium skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman facepalming (medium skin tone)">I don’t remember – at Pont De Val
Fridays

Black owned, amazing food and a perfect place to relax with friends.
Aesthetically pleasing with a walk in wine cellar. I’ve never been disappointed by their food
Kream
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📍" title="Round pushpin" aria-label="Emoji: Round pushpin">Mall of Africa/Brooklyn

One of my favorite fine dining restaurant. I always leave there satisfied. Beautiful interior and quite romantic. Doesn’t break the bank but it gives you the impression that it does from far.
Nineteen
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📍" title="Round pushpin" aria-label="Emoji: Round pushpin">Steyn City, Dainfern

Another hidden gem just outside Fourways. Overlooking a golf course and Mr Steyn’s castle in the heart of the Estate. They don’t take walk ins.
I’ve been here twice, the food always meet my expectations – at The Club at Steyn City
Doppio Zero
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📍" title="Round pushpin" aria-label="Emoji: Round pushpin">Sandton City

Ideal for lunch dates/meetings or brunch. Portions aren’t quite generous but the interior and views make you forget that.
Sandeck
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📍" title="Round pushpin" aria-label="Emoji: Round pushpin">Sandton City

Would I recommend the food? Not really
The atmosphere? Definitely!
Set on the roof top in the midst of beautiful buildings. A lovely hangout spot – at The San Deck
Four Seasons
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📍" title="Round pushpin" aria-label="Emoji: Round pushpin">Westcliff

This is a place just for drinks, I repeat. Just for drinks! – at Flames Restaurant at Four Seasons Hotel The Westcliff, Johannesburg
Great day time restaurants, turn into “clubs” in the evenings
Big Mouth
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📍" title="Round pushpin" aria-label="Emoji: Round pushpin">Nelson Mandela Square

Another go to Sushi place. I’d recommend making a reservation especially for dinner, tends to get quite full. Amazing food and great service
