Food Scene
If restaurants were made of paper, this one would be a little origami flower!
On top of an old building at a busy intersection in Melville, this quaint busy restaurant provides incredible views across Johannesburg. I would describe the food as eastern fusion. The crowd is young and hip. This is a place to come relax and enjoy food with friends. The decor is casual relaxed.
