In my opinion, this is one of the most underrated restaurants in Joburg. My husband and I go to Coobs regularly on date nights. The decor is absolutely beautiful but understated, with an entire green wall! It has a very classy and romantic feel, with a splash of fun! The staff are always so wonderful and the service is outstanding! While my husband can't wait to tuck into the main meal, I choose the dessert first! Although the menu is on the moderately pricey side, it is well worth it for the high quality food that you receive! The last time I ate at Coobs, the textures of chocolate was no longer on the menu. If this is brought back then I recommend it to all my chocolate lovers! It is one of my favourite desserts ever!
Wow! Coobs is a really great lunch place! I think that they have some really good food and they have very comfortable seating area. I had what I think was pork on ciabatta with lemon aioli on top with some spinach. It was spectacular, and the decor is almost modern with some traditional and countryside mixed in. The atmosphere is light and upbeat, with the aid of soft music in the background and just enough people for it to feel busy but not crazy. We shall be back soon and you should pop by and have something to eat here if you live near or in Parkhurst!
This place definitely has quite a cool ambience and decor. On top of that, the pasta is definitely the dish to die for. The wild boar is definitely the dish to try. Not too rich and the pasta is hand made and not too much sauce. Definitely has the right balance. Service was excellent and nothing more to add.
The food is tasty, ambiance is good. Service is very slow. The waiters stand next to the kitchen as a group and chat. We had to wave our hands to get attention.
The food is always on point, the wine is reasonably priced and the service is impeccable. All dishes are really good, recommend the wild boar, it is always a win!
Recommended overall.
Had a wonderful experience. Special mention to Frank the waiter who added to the fabulous-ness of our experience.
We were a group of 10 - so hats off to the chef and kitchen staff to ensure that our meals were all served together.
We tasted the love and care in every mouthful on every plate.
We tried a variety of starters - the winner was the goats cheese soufflé and the crispy calamari.
Mains consisted of the ribeye special , pork belly, and the duck.
The winner here was the duck - succulent and very flavorful.
Dessert didn’t disappoint either - chocolate fondant , white chocolate and Malva. The malva was not quite on point - but still tasty and fulfilling.
All in all , a very pleasant experience.
The hostess in duty was very welcoming and her friendly demeanor was much appreciated.
Frank the waiter took care of our table - he is a gem and went above and beyond to ensure that our table was taken care.
Well done Coobs and thank you for a memorable Father’s Day Lunch.

Coobs for Mother's day was an excellent choice! They offered a Waterford wine tasteing, where one could taste all the delicious wines and get a brief introduction to them by representatives of the wine estate! Added a lovely sense of occasion. The service and ambience was great, nice music and decor and everyone very friendly and helpful.
It was a four course meal.
The soup starter was delectable! Interesting and different tasteing. The second course osso bucco and arranci was absolutely delicious the meat was so tender and the arranci was great as tbey can usually be a bit tasteless.
For main course I chose the pork belly. This meal was ok, it didn't wow but it still had a few nice elements.
The table then chose between a cheese board and a dessert.
The cheese board was beautifully presented, some of the cheese was a bit tasteless.
The dessert also beautifully presented all elements tasted good but dragonfruit also had a pretty bland taste.
But all in all it was a very nice experience on a beautiful day and we have been to coobs before and have ordered from the al la cart which I always enjoy!

Mouthwateringly delicious food! Will be back for more. I had the caprese and tuna carpaccio and my hubby had the game and chips. Highly recommended all! Service could be worked on but other than that glad we finally tried you.

Visited Coobs for a birthday celebration. We were seated outside in a private little area on the side of the restaurant. I always find it so considerate when a restaurant put a big group away from other patrons. It's the small things that count.
The food was delicious, I had the beef tartar as a starter and the seafood pasta for mains. The pasta was amazing! Very basic with mixed seafood and olive oil, but my word, it burst with flavour, I was so happy.
Service was friendly and attentive yet never in the way. Big shout out to Tony out waiter
Excellent! Small glitch with the order but a great response! Food was amazing, great flavors! What a wonderful lunch! Beautiful restaurant, great service and awesome food! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 5 Star!
Amazing food - looked and tasted really great. Price wise a bit towards the upper end, but the quality, taste, service and overall atmosphere most definitely makes up for it. They have quite a few gluten-free options, including pastas and burgers. We really loved that they put such emphasis on conscious and healthy eating.
Also, their dessert shakes are a MUST! I'd suggest sharing one, though, as they're enormous!

Met up with a friend here at Craft for breakfast at around 08h45 after a morning run through the area. What a delightful place, warm atmosphere and welcoming staff. Fortune was our waiter for the morning, and what a pleasant and helpful guy.
We both had the scrambled eggs on avo with halloumi.
It was well presented and very tasty. Super fresh tastes on the pallet, and well sized portions. They also do great coffee. There is an array of options and food choices on the menu and the place is well patronized.
The manageress checked up on us regularly too.
We were so comfortable that when the lunch patrons were arriving at around 12h00 we thought we should vacate our seats !!😂
Well worth a visit, I rate this place a 7.5 / 10
Craft has a well crafted menu of on trend food. My problem with on trend food is the sameness of it all.
Despite its #sameness and #lack of #originality, they produced a good #prawn #chowder. It would've been nice if the dish had some acid and a little kick and texture too, but despite this, it was comforting on a cold day. I ordered some toast on the side, it should be standard with this dish.
The fish cakes were OK, but over powered by the accompanying vegetables. With fish being such a subtle flavour, it pretty much ruined the dish.
I loved the #cheesecake, the sweet, floral #Turkish #Delight perfectly balanced the #creamy, dense tang of the cheesecake. The crust added lovely texture to the slice.
If you're looking for a #trendy spot, with average food and great service, #Craft is your place to head to.
The breakfast menu is interesting, with a choice of unusual meals offered, a change from the traditional bacon and eggs that we can make at home. The service is really good, a special thank you to Madonna who served us on Sunday morning, very professional waitress extremely pleasant and helpful.
I can't count how many times I've had good meals at Craft. They are always reinventing their menu and keeping it fresh. I celebrated my birthday here in the past. The cake selection is amazing, including salted caramel cheesecake and oreo cheesecake. The freakshakes are insane.
A brunch heaven nestled in the hip and happening 4th Street, Parkhurst. Craft brings a unique down to earth ambiance that pays homage to it's shop till you drop boutique surroundings with its open seating plan that's private without being secluded. Excellent menu options with mostly light but filling meals at reasonable prices. Accompanied by a variety of healthy, unique tea blends and juices - worth a taste.
I couldn't find much fault with Craft. It was a nice cozy environment with very decent food. The burger was cooked nicely but didn't have too much taste to the patty itself. The sweet potato chips were good.
Overall, a worthwhile experience and I would go there again.
Their milkshakes are out of this world, I actually was filled. Their Mac and cheese could do better. Generally, the atmosphere is beautiful, I went there at night, it's a safe environment, helpful waiters.
Going to CRAFT is always an experience and a half! Food never disappoints, and the menu options are different. It has a lovely cafe bespoke cafe vibe, and the service is fantastic.
Friendly staff and great food. I had a homemade pita with chicken & salad and fried onion. The onion was too oily but the pita was great. I liked their espresso too! Friendly staff although the service was slow.
