My boyfriend and I decided to have dinner here on a Friday night and we absolutely loved it! They allow you to bring your own drinks so we purchased a bottle of wine from Spar which is right next door. Super friendly staff and the food was amazing. We had the creamy mussels starter which was divine and for our mains, we ordered the chicken combos, I had mine with prawns and he had his with calamari, it was delicious. The portions are huge - we couldn't finish what was on our plate. The hot flavoured chicken I had was really great and spicy! The 300g rump and chips is delicious too. We left feeling super satisfied. Thank you J's Diner! We will be back.

Superb and consistent quality of Portuguese-style cuisine. Absolutely marvelous chicken livers peri-peri, prawns to die for, blue cheese salad that IS a blue cheese salad, steaks and ribs to perfection and chips exactly as they should be. Combined with friendly service, this establishment offers amazing value.

I've been to J's five times now already. Take a bottle of wine (no corkage fee) and take in the vibe!

It doesn't look like much from outside, and honestly, I wouldn't have looked at it twice if a trustworthy foodie source hadn't taken me there.

The atmosphere is relaxed and completely chilled. The waiters are almost unnaturally friendly and extremely helpful. The variety has something for everyone, and the cuisine is absolutely stunning! Amazing steaks and gobsmackingly wonderful fresh fish! The Milo Fritos with a traditional portuguese sauce is the perfect side to anything on the menu. The best part is the price! You can have a proper two-course meal for two people for under R500-00, and walk out unable to have another bite.

Perfect for calm and chilled date nights or friendly gatherings.

My favourite spot in Joburg.

This was my second time at J’s Diner and took my friends to experience it. The food was incredible as always and our waiter was great too since my friends managed to make her laugh. It is cosy and relaxed space and with something for everyone and managed to make new friends with the table next to us. We will definitely be back!!

Really good value for money and probably the best peri peri chicken around. Love all their combos too! A hidden gem with a quaint and cozy atmosphere.
Just lovely!

I organized my birthday of 30 people at Js on a Friday night. The staff & vibe were both spectacular. The food is fresh, delicious and well priced. The service was great. Every single one of my guests loved their time at Js. Will be back

Simple, authentic Portuguese diner. Good, simple food with little frills... great service too!

You can bring your own booze,but they do provide as well. My recommendations are the peri chicken and prawns. Their starters are also tasty, and we usually get a variety to share.

The cool and calm atmosphere calls in lovers and old friends. The music and deco compliment the vibe. The service is friendly and well timed. The food is deep and flavourful I had the pumpkin filled ravioli with sage infused oil and mushrooms. The key is take a small bit of everything in one bite in every mouthful. The farm to table approach does translate to the taste. Always save space for dessert. It is straight out of masterchef. I can't wait to go again

Excellent food, we went on a whim to this place not knowing what to expect, but we were pleasantly suprised. We had good wine, and the prices were fairly reasonable. Good waiters too.

A stunning little restaurant with quite a romantic ambience. Service wasn’t great as our waiter was more concerned with the other tables and seemed to forget about us. For mains I ordered the Beef Short Rib, and at R250 it’s a super pricey main. The beef was really tender and delicious, but I wasn’t a big fan of the sauce that came with it, I think the smoky flavour was a bit too potent. For dessert we had the Passionfruit Cheesecake, and I found the little cheesecake tart to be very dry and underwhelming. The strawberry and passionfruit ice creams were tasty though.

Excellent service and a creative and Fusion-filled Menü with organic locally grown „in season“ vegetables in every dish. The cocktails offer every classic mix and a retro feel with pictures of the Drinks plus a wide variaty of wine. The kitchen is very creative with Asian influences ( Korean spiced appetizers) and European classics with pesto and Parmesan. Excellent meats and choices that pleases every desire from starters all the way to deserts. Highly recommended!

Wonderful simple setting with fantastic food. Every dish done with passion and presented beautifully. All ingredients are sourced from organic producers and resturant claims full provenance, which I can believe. Very impressed with both the service and the food. Definitely recommended.

What can I say about Coobs?...The last time we ate there it was still in Parkhurst. I happen to pass in Parktown North few days back and there it was. I contacted my friends right there and we agreed to meet for a dinner date this evening. It was fun to come back as a trio since we haven't been there together in almost two years. Thulz had a wild boar ragu, Miss May settled for the Carbonara( authentic /Italian way), while I chose wagyu beef burger with chips. Beautiful food all around and great atmosphere.

Excellent cocktail selection and I would highly recommended the Curd and Whey drink if you like sweet cocktails. The tuna carpaccio starter is also a winner with fresh ingredients that work really well together. Main meals are big portions but very tasty. Definitely worth a visit.

The food serve here its truly exquisite and literally melts in your mouth. I had the best chicken liver parfait that it cames with a red cabagge sauce and sweet in its own flavours. I will recommend it as your starters and accompanied with a nice white wine.
