Although it’s been smartened up and several extra suites have been built around the garden, the guesthouse retains the atmosphere of an earlier, less-complicated era, its bedrooms done out with simple antiques and raw textiles. Much of the original thatched homestead is now a museum and library dedicated to Gandhi. In the garden are various nooks for relaxing and meditating. Insider Tip: All dining here is vegetarian (and organic), keeping with Gandhi’s preferences, and no alcohol is permitted. The two-bedroom family suite has a private fireplace in its own lounge. </hotelDescription><ratingLabel/><hotelRating>3.0</hotelRating><insiderLabel/><insider/><whereToStayImage>/saar5/images/destination/main/jnb/Satyagraha-House.jpg</whereToStayImage><whereToStayImageAltText>Where to stay in Johannesburg - Satyagraha House</whereToStayImageAltText><links><externalLinkWebsiteLabel>Book now</externalLinkWebsiteLabel><externalLinkWebsite>http://ajaxsearch.partners.agoda.com/partners/tracking.aspx?cid=1618815&currency=SGD&urltogo=http://ajaxsearch.partners.agoda.com/africa/south_africa/johannesburg/satyagraha_house.html&backlink=http://www.agoda.com.sg/singaporeair&header=http://img.agoda.net/images/partnermarketing/clp/sgair/sgair_header4.html</externalLinkWebsite><locationLinkLabel>15 Pine Road, Orchards</locationLinkLabel><externalLink>15 Pine Road, Orchards,, Greater Melrose, Johannesburg, South Africa 2117</externalLink><contactNo/></links></places></whereToStaySection><whereToStaySection><places><whereToStayHeading>The Peech Hotel</whereToStayHeading><hotelDescription>Hip, urbane, and tranquil, James Peech’s little hotel in leafy, upmarket Melrose brings wonderful respite from the city’s bustle.

Pod chairs and polished-concrete floors complete the sleek effect in the 16 spacious, eco-friendly rooms, each imbued with luxurious bathrooms and incredible rain showers. It’s all set in a beautifully-tended garden with a lovely pool, and a hammock draped alluringly beneath one of the old, sprawling trees.

Service is attentive and highly personalised, and there are two incredible restaurants. Insider Tip: Book one of the spa’s mind-blowing Signature Sound Therapy treatments.

Underscoring the home-from-home theme, you’re welcome to order in and have takeaway meals in the breakfast room, where you’ll be spoiled each morning with something fresh from the oven. Owner Hannia Weber’s infatuation with Johannesburg is infectious – she’ll direct you to all kinds of little known gems. Insider Tip: Book the large, romantic suite, known as The Sweet.

There’s marvellous integration of indoor and outdoor spaces thanks to massive foldaway doors leading onto patios, with Moroccan daybeds around the pair of lap pools. Lots of personal attention from owner-designer Sarah Schonfeld ensures you get the best of a home-from-home experience.

She says her influences come from “food from the Chinese, Indian/Pakistani, and Portuguese parts of town” as well as from her childhood, meaning every dish has a story. It’s earned this buzzing (sometimes noisy) restaurant a reputation (and awards) as the country’s top bistro. It’s notable for extreme originality, dishes packed with flavour, and a policy of using only grass-fed beef, free-range poultry and pork and seafood from sustainable sources. Burgener’s meatballs with butterbean mash are a revelation, as is her steak tartare, one version of which she does with ginger, cumin, lemon and chilli evoking a quasi-Ethiopian style. Insider Tip: If Burgener’s cooking appeals you can purchase her first cookbook, Lampedusa Pie from the restaurant; ask her when she visits your table. </restaurantsDescription><insiderLabel/><insider/><whereToEatImage>/saar5/images/destination/what-to-eat-default.jpg</whereToEatImage><whereToEatImageAltText>Where to eat in Johannesburg - The Leopard</whereToEatImageAltText><links><locationLinkLabel/><externalLink/><contactNo/></links></places></whereToEatSection><whereToEatSection><places><category>Italian</category><categoryLabel>Italian</categoryLabel><categoryLink>http://ilgiardino.co.za/</categoryLink><whereToEatHeading> Il Giardino Degli Ulivi</whereToEatHeading><restaurantsDescription>This charming Italian restaurant set in a courtyard full of olive trees is an excellent option if you’re dining out with children. Its wood-burning ovens churn out perfect ultra-thin, handmade pizzas and lip-smacking pastas that draw locals in droves. In addition to Italian favourites, they’ve added traditional South African boerekos (literally “farmer’s food”) to the menu, making it even more of a South African experience. It’s relaxed and pretty and will make you feel as though you’ve escaped to the Italian countryside. Insider Tip: The unforgettable pizza to order is topped with slow-cooked lamb, goat’s cheese, apricots, dates, and mint. </restaurantsDescription><insiderLabel/><insider/><whereToEatImage>/saar5/images/destination/main/jnb/Il-Giardino.jpg</whereToEatImage><whereToEatImageAltText> Il Giardino Degli Ulivi</whereToEatImageAltText><links><locationLinkLabel/><externalLink/><contactNo/></links></places></whereToEatSection><whereToEatSection><places><category>International</category><categoryLabel>International</categoryLabel><categoryLink>http://www.cubekitchen.co.za/</categoryLink><whereToEatHeading>Cube Tasting Kitchen</whereToEatHeading><restaurantsDescription>When it opened, Cube was immediately declared the most exciting thing to happen to the Johannesburg restaurant scene in years. There are, however, now two cubes, each done out in a simple, minimalist, all-white style that enhances the effect of being in a space where the food and the interactive cooking experience are meant to stand out. The friendly chefs act as interpreters for their multi-course set menu and the open kitchen allow you to feel a part of the action. Ingredients and dishes change with the seasons and also reflect the results of ongoing experimentation as new molecular gastronomic inspirations take hold. Insider Tip: Although it’s twice its original size, tables are limited and good news travels fast, so be sure to reserve a table as early as possible. Food is slightly avant-garde, and there are about 14 taste-sized courses, so count on at least four hours of dining. </restaurantsDescription><insiderLabel/><insider/><whereToEatImage>/saar5/images/destination/main/jnb/Cube.jpg</whereToEatImage><whereToEatImageAltText>Where to eat in Johannesburg - Cube Tasting Kitchen</whereToEatImageAltText><links><locationLinkLabel/><externalLink/><contactNo/></links></places></whereToEatSection><whereToEatSection><places><category>International</category><categoryLabel>International</categoryLabel><categoryLink>http://www.dw11-13.co.za/</categoryLink><whereToEatHeading>DW Eleven-13</whereToEatHeading><restaurantsDescription>Considered one of South Africa’s top 10 restaurants, this fine dining space has been one of the city’s favourites for several years. Chef Marthinus Ferreira has worked with the likes of Heston Blumenthal, and here shows off his love of experimentation and knack for coaxing impressive flavours out of simple-sounding dishes. The food is modern South African with strong French connections – sublime melt-in-the-mouth smoked quail; flavoursome artichoke soup; butternut risotto; super-tender aged rib-eye with bone marrow sauce. The menu is always changing, but there’s always snappy, on-the-ball service and a buzzing atmosphere. Insider Tip: If you can’t decide what to order, try the six-course tasting menu sampling a bit of everything. It’s available with or without wine pairings. If DW Eleven-13 is full, The Grazing Room next door is where Ferreira oversees ingenious tapas-style plates such as his smoked springbok tartare on toast. </restaurantsDescription><insiderLabel/><insider/><whereToEatImage>/saar5/images/destination/main/jnb/DW-Eleven.png</whereToEatImage><whereToEatImageAltText>Where to eat in Johannesburg - DW Eleven-13</whereToEatImageAltText><links><locationLinkLabel/><externalLink/><contactNo/></links></places></whereToEatSection><whereToEatSection><places><category>International</category><categoryLabel>International</categoryLabel><categoryLink>http://www.saxon.co.za/</categoryLink><whereToEatHeading>Five Hundred</whereToEatHeading><restaurantsDescription>When chef David Higgs (currently rated the country’s top chef) was transplanted here from Cape Town a few years ago, the move did wonders for the reputation of the Jo’burg dining scene as a whole. Some say this is now the pinnacle of the country’s dining scene, with creative food that really pushes the culinary envelope. Higgs experiments in a modern way to create simple-yet-extraordinary taste pairings (such as foie gras with beetroot grown in the restaurant’s own rooftop garden). Extraordinary flavours are complemented by beautiful plating and attentive service with small theatrical flourishes. Insider Tip: With only eight difficult-to-secure tables, you’re advised to make your reservation long before leaving home. For an even more personal and extraordinary experience, book the chef’s table. The 6-course Ruinart Experience is the only one of its kind in the world, pairing foie gras and caviar with Champagne, for example. </restaurantsDescription><insiderLabel/><insider/><whereToEatImage>/saar5/images/destination/main/jnb/Five-Hundred.jpg</whereToEatImage><whereToEatImageAltText>Where to eat in Johannesburg - Five Hundred</whereToEatImageAltText><links><locationLinkLabel/><externalLink/><contactNo/></links></places></whereToEatSection><whereToEatSection><places><category>International</category><categoryLabel>International</categoryLabel><categoryLink>http://www.thegrillhouse.co.za/</categoryLink><whereToEatHeading>The Grillhouse</whereToEatHeading><restaurantsDescription>Although there are now other branches and many copycats, it was here in 1994 that the average South African steakhouse stepped into upmarket territory. Decked out in dark wood, with library shelves evoking a refined club environment, the atmosphere is rich and luxurious, with black leather banquettes, plenty of timber, and exposed brickwork. There’s tremendous emphasis on studiously selected, well-aged and carefully grilled meat cuts. There are also delectable ribs, lamb chops and burgers made from choice minced meat. Insider Tip: Attached is Katzy’s, one of Jo’burg’s top cigar lounges and jazz bars – great for sinking into leather sofas with a single malt whiskey while listening to live music. The Grillhouse also offers a complimentary shuttle that will pick you up from guesthouses in the neighbourhood. </restaurantsDescription><insiderLabel/><insider/><whereToEatImage>/saar5/images/destination/main/jnb/The-Grillhouse.jpg</whereToEatImage><whereToEatImageAltText>Where to eat in Johannesburg - The Grillhouse</whereToEatImageAltText><links><locationLinkLabel/><externalLink/><contactNo/></links></places></whereToEatSection><whereToEatMetaDetails><metaKeyword>Where to eat in Johannesburg</metaKeyword><metaDescription>Choose from a variety of F&amp;B options when visiting Johannesburg</metaDescription></whereToEatMetaDetails></DestinationRootContainer><SmartVel><smartLocale>en</smartLocale><smartCity>Johannesburg</smartCity></SmartVel><deviceTypeElement><deviceType>desktop</deviceType></deviceTypeElement><JsonStringContainer><JsonString>{"masthead": {"items": [{"country": "South Africa","destinationCountryCode": "ZA","destinationCityCode": "JNB","capital": "Johannesburg","readMore": "Read More","readLess": "Read Less","favourites": "Add to favourites","image": "/saar5/images/destination/top-banners/Johannesburg.jpg"}]},"fareDeal": {"introTitle": "&nbsp;&nbsp;","introDescrition": "Jo&rsquo;burg &ndash; or Jozi, as it&rsquo;s known affectionately &ndash; pulses with raw energy, charged by a rich mix of cultures and exhilarating go-getter spirit.
