The food was delicious and we all had good meals. The service was friendly and efficient. It has a bar type atmosphere so as a family with teenagers we aren’t likely to go back.
Excellent food! The "make the sandwich" idea is brilliant. The onion rings were a bit doughy and so not that great; and the menus are terrible: the white board markers are too thick for the laminated sheet and the sheets don't clean properly but other than that a really great vibey place
Cute little stop for drinks with mates or an easy lunch. Funky decor, casual dining and friendly staff. Build your own meal type of menu - you get what you order so no hassle there :)
I haven't submitted a review for some time but I feel it necessary to write one today. My brother and I met for a quick lunch... Instead of hitting the usual (nandos) i suggested The Generator.
It was pretty quiet, 3 other tables.
Had a coffee, standard, not bad
Ordered the chicken prego... Well, it was fantastic! They didn't have the prego rolls so gave me a couple options. I chose the ciabatta... It was lightly toasted and just delicious
My boet ordered the lamb pita. He devoured the meal in no time and could not stop raving about it.
The service was prompt and very friendly. We were in and out there within 45 minutes. Perfect for a quick lunch
Not sure why there aren't queues outside this place. We will for sure be back
Extremely delicious vegan friendly restaurant that clearly marked their vegan items. The service was good, the atmosphere was lovely and the food was great (except for the zucchini fries...too hard and tasteless). Please continue your vegan friendliness by stocking a non-dairy milk :)
Quite a vibey restaurant with good service and food. The menu is a build your own meal menu, which is really nice as you can have exactly what you want, and it's not expensive either.
We were all really impressed with our meals. We all had pasta, one with beef, one with bacon and one with Smoked salmon and we all ate every bite even though it was quite a generous helping! The wine list is good as well, nothing excessive but some well know favourites.
The only downside to this place is they don't do dessert :( and if you sit outside bring insect repellent or sit inside rather
The burgers look amazing! Have to go back to try one of those out
So since I haven't been reviewing in a while, I thought I would try and get back into it. My first stop recently was to The Generator. This a great place with good vibes all day. They specialise in 'make your own' sandwiches, which are incredible. I ordered a steak and hummus sandwich, which I must say was delicious. Their ingredients are fresh and there are so many different combinations you can get, I was in heaven. Definitely a must go to.
It's a small spot with interesting decor, a nice bar and great sound. We popped in to bid farewell to a colleague. There was a nice vibe. The food I had was tasty and others raved about the rest. Service was good.
Went here for a sisters' dinner and enjoyed it! Very friendly service and cool vibe, even when the restaurant isn't full. We enjoyed the design-your-own approach and there is a great variety of toppings to choose from. As a vegetarian, there was also a good choice of flavours. The combined toppings do get a little pricey though so don't get too carried away!
One of my favourite spots in Jo'burg to relax, have a drink and eat some simple but delicious food.
Hard to go wrong with a create your own sandwich menu (personal recommendation is olive panini, steak, grilled hulumi, peppadews, avo and the pesto source).
An authentic atmosphere with a friendly owner that is heavily involved in the day to day operations earns the Generator a 4.5 rating.
Lovely new location next to the tennis courts. Was initially disappointed to not find them in the usual spot thinking this another COVID closure but this is a massive improvement. Right across the road you can’t miss them. The perfect home for the perfect cup. There is cover should it rain and on a sunny Saturday morning in the winter the cold matters not. And of course the coffee is great. Dogs are welcome, there are two plug points, and believe there may even be Wifi.
Such a quaint little spot hidden next to the tennis courts. The coffee is really good (4/5) and the chocolate croissants are unreal with proper Nutella inside! Just a laid back vibe with friendly staff.
I love that they have little treats (like zoo biscuits), a bowl of water for dog's and even doggie treats.
Best coffee on Tyrone Avenue and new favourite spot in the Parks.
The Perfect Cup. The best coffee in Johannesburg. Located at
Shop 15, Parkview Centre, 54 Tyrone Ave, Parkview. The Perfect Cup offers breakfast, sandwiches, light meals, Cappuccino, cakes and desserts. Their menu is affordable and nutritious. This place is beautiful and what I love about this place is the love of the community. It's a community based place. Their friendly and incredible staff. Definitely will come back soon for Cappuccino. Definitely the perfect cup. Also you can now order for delivery or pickup from The Perfect Cup using the MyChef Food App (link on bio).
This place was such a pleasant find!! The best creamy mushrooms on toast in Johannesburg. Great coffee with an in-house roastery. Highly recommended, especially for breakfast and lunch.
A great place for coffee and a croissant or muffin. Tucked away next to the tennis court it's a good find for a quick cuppa. Staff are great.
I was treated to breakfast and a sweet treat. What a nice setting and trendy setup. The place looked very inviting and charming. What a good selection of food - I ended up ordering the following :-
Half Breakfast which consisted of the following 1 egg, 2 rashers of bacon, tomato, toast and jam. Delicious – the plate was clean no need to wash 😊
The sweet treat order was a Bar One Banana & Ice Cream pancake. Pancakes were super soft, fluffy and melt in mouth pancakes. Truly delicious - Loved it.
Overall a decent pocket-friendly place serving a good range of tasty savoury and sweet treats with a decent menu for full eating. Will for sure visit them again!
Deftly one of the beautiful art coffee’s I have ever visited… perfect coffee and great breakfast!!!
