Visited this gem yesterday for a birthday celebration, and I cannot wait to stop by again. Fantastic food, great service and a stunning art gallery. The four-bone lamb rack was delicious and the vanilla creme brulee is a must.
I loved the decor, the artwork, antique furniture, beautiful garden setting and the background music was just up my alley!
The music- Loved it! Loved it! Loved it!
The brown paper menus are a great idea! Environmentally friendly & can be replaced to avoid grubbiness or hidden germs.
Good service.
Food was delicious albeit on the small side. Still felt a tad hungry afterwards.
Beautiful place, wonderful staff, gorgeous doggies, friendly people, happy atmosphere and always delicious food ❤❤❤ I can't fault this place in all the numerous times I've visited. Possums remains in my top 3 always..because all the aforementioned +Ambience!
Quickly stopped here for a drink with a friend.
Beautiful atmosphere, very private/quiet little restaurant. It’s almost like relaxing in your garden.
The service was good, and I must say... al the food that people ordered... looked AMAZING!!!
So I’ll definitely be back for a lunch one day!
My last visit was about 2 years ago, and the reason for not returning sooner was because the food didn't leave us missing this place at all. However, decided to give another try, and turned out to be an enjoyable dinner. It seemed that they have simpled down the menu and quite liked their selection of tapas, as they go well with a bottle of wine. Service can be a bit more efficient but liked the friendliness. Am glad to gave another try and will try again.
We were there for lunch. Lovely setting, great food. The salmon was fantastic and the lamb rack. Will deffinately visit again.
Parking is a bit tight, but organised.
I’ve been to Possum’s twice and enjoyed both times. You must go. It’s good for families, with quiet corners for dates. Book in advance.
Many good things:
1/ waiters are friendly but professional, attentive, service is quick
2/ food is unbelievably tasty - I had the baked pork with dumplings (sauce is unexpectedly creamy and just divine), and the croissant pudding (sweet, not soggy, perfect)
3/ it has a super homey vibe that I love - feels like eating in your colonial grandmother’s lounge (if I can be politically incorrect)
Nothing bad - Possums for the win!
The setting is perfect, whether inside or on the deck. The food is rather unique so prepare to be dined. Fairly expensive for what you get. Colleagues had the salmon and the rabbit which they liked. The lamb rack was small but good.
Possums was such a hidden gem. I was looking forward to taking some friends there after not being back in a few months and I could not believe how much the food quality has dropped. Dry lamb. A dry plate. Not one person on my table of four was blown away and I remember how the food would always blow me away - juicy and cooked with love. Perhaps a new chef?
It's still such a beautiful spot so I hope they can get their magic back.
We really enjoyed this cute, relaxing restaurant. The setting is perfect for a hot evening. The garden like setting has a French bistro feel, with fairy lights in the trees and quirky decor and furniture. The service was spot on and we got our food quickly. Your water comes in a pitcher filled with ice and lemon (I love that). The menu is fairly basic - standard traditional meals. The starters were substantial. The wine list is decent and they also do cocktails. We both had the salmon for mains and we could not fault it - very good and perfectly cooked. This is an ideal restaurant for a low key girlie dinner or for a quiet, romantic setting that’s not pretentious or too fancy.
I have been here a few times and have always had great food and good service. The setting is lovely, just what we need in Joburg! However, I would suggest that the owners invest in some new music - we had Lionel Ritchie on repeat throughout lunch, which was a bit much ...
This place feels like such a neighbourhood gem. It feels cosy and relaxed. We dined outside and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. There's lots of art to look at, and the servers were helpful and friendly. The food and drinks were fantastic! I had an amazing salad and dessert was incredible too.
Food was great!! Very nice seating area outside. Prices are also very good for the amount of food you get. Only bad part was the coffee cups. It was old and chipped. Great experience and the service was terrific👍
Possums is a cosy intimate restaurant. Food is great and we had such a good time that we were reminded to go home😁. The setting is romantic with fairy lights in a garden setting. Also seating indoors. Great cocktails with an interesting variety. Food is excellent from starters to dessert. All and all a good evening out. Romantic setting for two or groups, all catered for. Security all round and adequate parking.
Great food! Id talk about the ambience but I was there for the food🤣it's a beautiful location. I had the pork ribs which were heavenly. My colleagues ordered lamb, and Qual which were all to die for. The parmesan chicken was at best average. Nothing to write home about. Unless you like soggy cheesy sour unbalanced flavour then by all means go for it.
Had the croissant desert which was a perfect way to end the meal, cheesecake was also amazing!
Pricing is not bad at all.
Very good food and we love the atmosphere. The platter is very good and we loved the service as always. Only reason we rated them down a bit is they are often out of stock on wines and this can be very irritating.
Amazing; had lunch here earlier this month (again) and we were very pleased. Great food, great service and great location. Perfect for a long lazy lunch. Definitely going back.
Lovely garden spot for a bite. All meals served. The breakfast was superb. Secure parking in a side street off Jan Smuts Ave
Possums is a surprise. It is not overdone or underdone in any way... Mood, decor, menu service. It is classy, and calm, and friendly all at the same time. You leave with good vibes. I think the pricing is very reasonable... Also not overdone or underdone.
Awesome food here. Wow I love Possums... great food and great memories. The rustic outdoors theme makes one want to eat and the waiters really understand and know the menu...
Laidback place, its a villa with a nice garden where you can relax and chill here. Food is tasty and ingredient is fresh. They got small art gallery inside.
Beautiful setting with delicious food! Had a fabulous time and will definitely go back. Lovely for a summer lunch.
