The Red Chamber has almost legendary status as one of the finest Chinese restaurants in Johannesburg.

PRIMAFILA – A PRIME EXAMPLE OF HOW NOT TO RUN A RESTAURANT!
***AVOID*** AVOID *** AVOID *** AVOID *** AVOID *** Sometimes there needs to be a zero rating, especially reserved for those experiences where even a rating of 1 seems too high!!

FOODIE HEAVEN AT PAUL’S BAKERY @MELROSE ARCH –

Service is virtually non-existent. Took ages for our drinks to arrive. When ordering our food we asked what dips came with the focaccia bread, but our server seemed unsure. Took a while for a food to arrive - the dips that came with the focaccia were not what we were told they would be. The... Continue Reading →
