There was a time (quite a few years ago) when Founders carried the flag of good eating for the whole of the West Rand. Alas, no more. Untrained waiting, mediocre food, old frying oil, out-of-date menus; the sad story of a restaurant that went the way of only caring about the buck and not the customer. Maybe one day we'll have a good restaurant in the West...

Excelent! Ive never tasted Mexican food before and have always heard of tacos. I had the chicken taco and dam this really hit the spot. Food is made fresh and right in front of you.

Great restaurant. Staff attentive, good Italian menu, delicious food. And those little rolls at the start! Wow. This restaurant has been so busy for so many years. In a town like Durban, that can only mean it's really good.

A great spot for a very reasonable curry. My partner and I recently had a craving for curry, and having seen Spiceburg several times we decided to pop in. The food was great - fresh ingredients that were well prepared, and very good service. Prices were reasonable, and the portions were well sized. The restaurant itself is very tastefully decorated, and sitting out on the deck and taking in the sounds of Greenside is a particularly pleasant way to spend an afternoon. Definitely recommended.

Being a great fan of Indonesian Food and hunting for a decent Indonesian Restaurant since the closure of Oud Batavia about 15 years ago, I was extremely excited when friends recommended this restaurant. My wife and I had lunch there on Sunday 18th May I am afraid the restaurant did not live up to expectations. The venue is charming and cosy but I feel the food leaves a lot to be desired. We both ordered Loempia as a starter which arrived very rubbery, obviously re-heated. we also both ordered the Rijstafel, which was disappointing and once again appeared to have been prepared sometime in advance and re-heated. The service was also mediocre and when we wanted to express our concerns to the owner, she was nowhere to be seen. The one thing that they are not shy about is their prices and for what we paid, R435 excluding desert, we were extremely disappointed with the overall experience. I guess I will have to continue my quest for a GOOD Indonesian Restaurant as Lemongrass certainly did not, in my opinion, qualify as one.

I was at Isabellas Parkview on Mothersday and we had such a great time! The management team was so friendly and was really going out of their way to make every customer feel at home! The Buffet was excellent and I can recommend the restaurant to everybody!

The Eatery is an experience that everyone in Joburg needs to have. Tucked away around a corner down the road from Benmore gardens shopping centre, is this amazing restaurant with exposed brick walls, an open kitchen and a spiral staircase leading upstairs to a private dining room and beautiful bar and balcony. The menu is very small and changes seasonally, and you can watch the chefs prepare it if you sit downstairs. When I was there they had a deconstructed lemon meringue, which was served in a mason jar, it was very good. I also had the vegetarian meal that was on offer, because it sounded so delicious, and I was not disappointed. Price wise they are probably a bit more expensive than a lot of restaurants, and they do add a 12.5% service charge to the bill. The service is ok, and the owner did come and recommend craft beers from their collection.

The best meal I have had in Cape Town in the last 4 years was at Bizerca – so it had a great memory to live up to, as I gaily pirouetted in with the girls for a birthday supper. It has a very trendy minimal vibe with lots of stone walls and vertical greenery to add interest; and a cautionary warning, some wet spots to your trendy well thought out outfit if you venture too. We got a somewhat lack lustre spot on a long table in an alley front of the kitchen, which doubled as a thoroughfare for the waiters,; but once I had established a safe distance from the greenery and downed a mouthful of perfectly chilled Villieria Sparkling (R180/bottle) served in magnificent stem free champagne tumblers, I was heady and ready to tackle the hand written chalk board of mouthwatering options. I chose two starters in an effort to avoid oft experienced food envy – perfectly chewy and soft rabbit ravioli with greenery and feta (R72) and a somewhat lackluster tongue with capers and cauliflower (R68). Fortunately I knew most of the rest of the table, and forked my way through an exceptional lamb and fruit tagine (R125) and off menu veggie compilation of butternut gnocchi with mushrooms sauce and greenery (R115). The gnocchi was fabulous and nicely balanced but the mushroom sauce felt a bit unfinished in comparison; though maybe it’s because the tagine was the nights serious winner with a real fruit, meaty, spicy punch. Dessert wise the white chocolate crème brulee, with saucy chocolate tart and tangy raspberry ice-cream (R55) was worth every penny. The food was very good; some of it was even great, though some of it was overpriced and forgetful. It’s a busy spot, with lots of beautiful people, and if you choose well, some exceptional fare.
