Review Rather Tart - Sandton

Eat dessert first! If this is a restaurant's slogan - sign us up! This newly opened Crêpe and Waffle Bar is a great addition to the breakfast scene in Sandton! The atmosphere takes you far away to a small cafe somewhere in France. We especially loved the painted wall and cozy pillows all over. The food was so scrumptious that we just didn't want to leave! We started with one of their sweet waffles - strawberries, cream and ice cream with raspberry sauce on the softest waffle bed, was just to die for. After dessert, we ordered some savoury crêpes. Cranberry Jelly with Camembert and Parma Ham, Chicken and Mushroom, and Smoked Salmon with Red Onion, Cream Cheese, and Dill. And all we can say for this is... OMNOMNOM. Even their pancake mixture was delicious, it was really light and packed full of flavour! This place is a great contrast to the cold winter. Once inside it is so warm and inviting, everyone was super friendly and all the patrons looked like they were having a great time too. We will definitely be back for more crêpes and waffles! TTT’s rating out of 5: Food - 5 | Service – 5 | Atmosphere – 5| Value – 5 Rather Tart (Morningside) gets Two Tasty Tummies' stamp of approval

Great atmosphere and lovely design inside! Such care taken in making sure everything is clean and looks good - very impressed. I love a good hot chocolate and this place really succeeds in making one. Their menu definitely leaves you wanting to come back for more. If you get a chance, I would recommend stopping into this hidden gem in Morningside.

This little gem is near Sandton and really good to miss the afternoon traffic while you have waffles. The prices are decent and the waffles are really amazing. I would definitely recommend this.

I love this place!! Waffle is very very tasty and owner and chef are extreamly helpful and friendly!! You really need to try!!!

What an interesting venue. Great staff who serve with grace. Beautiful and delicious fair. Simple but aesthetic interior and a lovely little terrace. The centre is better because of this gem. Had a caramel crunch milkshake and it was amazing.

Serves Best waffle in the city..great for families and friends... Excellent service

Decadent waffles with the amazing customer service. I highly recommend it

Great and affordable food. Highly recommended. Added a star - Yum

We've been here twice and I've gotten a takeaway once. The food has always been absolutely delicious. My favourite is the banana, caramel, and nut waffle. The waffles taste so much better than any waffle I've ever had before. I'd suggest taking the time to go in and eat the food fresh rather than getting a takeaway or getting it delivered. You can't accurately rate the food if you haven't eaten it fresh.

Quiet corner shop in a safe shopping complex. The owner works at the shop so you get good service. Food is fresh and presented well.

Great service .. food awesome. Warm friendly service.. I must say best pancakes ever

A small and quaint little eatery/coffee shop. Delicious food and drink on offer. I recommend the savoury waffles and pancakes. The service is very good and the prices reasonable. Perfect for lunch and a quick bite.

Hubby spoiled me for women's day and what a treat is was! Had a savoury crepe with chicken and mushroom filling and a classic waffle with ice cream and raspberry sauce. Also took home their amazing quiches for a snack. Service was absolutely amazing. everything was just on fleek! Definitely be coming back!

Great waffles. Great service

Great place to chill with family and friends enjoying crepes and waffles , coffee and freshly squished juices. I love this place. Friendly staff, it's a home away from home.

Tart is an excellent eating place. Delicious food, well presented, economical and with outstanding service

Such 8ncredible service and hospitality. Bi had my puppy there on our way to puppy school and they went out of their way to accommodate us and her incredible amazing waffles as well

Wow, wow, wow Rather Tart is just amazing in every which way! So cosy and inviting, with such an awesome vibe and thee most deliciously different sweet and savoury crepes and waffles, never mind the samosas - to absolutely die for 👌🏻

From Typos, not having half the menu, to missing half the meal when it eventually arrived, to having to beg for cutlery and then wiaitng so long for responses and our food and don't forget that the computer crashed so we couldn't have our slip printed out. An absolute disaster!!!

Great food and great service! Highly recommended. Also try the gourmet samosas next door also owned by the same owner.

Amazing waffles - both sweet & savoury - delicious milkshakes & great coffee � A fantastic lunch all round, we will be back!

Great vibe and delicious food, beautiful little place!

Phenomenal food and coffee, highly recommended. I will definitely be back very soon.

I have been searching for a decent waffle in Johannesburg for nearly 3 years and I have finally found a hidden gem!<br/>The waffles at Rather Tart are absolutely amazing and a definite must have.<br/>I will be adding this to my list of regular visits when looking for a comfort meal!<br/>Great service, beautiful decor and yummy food! 5 stars without a doubt!

Best waffles EVER!<br/><br/>Really quaint decor and super friendly service!<br/><br/>A hidden gem that is well worth adding to your list of favourite "nooks".<br/><br/>

Very good marketing campaign to get people in the store with the pamphlet at Morningside Carwash offering free coffee. I stopped by to see what on recommendation of the manager at the carwash. Upon arrival it was empty, I was surprised. Ordered coconut ice cream which was disappointing, the ice cream was half melted and had a ice crystals, ice cream needs to be velvety smooth, especially to think that my options were to order Haagen Dazs from Andiccio24. With competitors like that, I would suggest improvements for Rather Tart to stand out in a touch market. <br/><br/>All that being said, I would still pop by to test the crepes and waffles. Will give feedback if I do go 🙂

The Staff is polite, professional and friendly. The food, the food is amazing. Love it...perfect breakfast and dessert spot. Savoury waffles are delicious.

We ordered a takeaway on MrDelivery. I had the Nutella crepe and the parma ham, camembert and cranberry crepe. They were really average. I didn’t like the texture of the crepe, because they used flour with bran in it. My boss also had a sweet crepe and she said she didn’t enjoy it either. I wish they lived up to our expectations, because the menu sounded amazing. Unfortunately, they’re just very expensive and not worth the money.

I have been eyeing this spot for a while now and finally made it. ordered a plain waffle with honey, the good old fashioned way, can I say I LOVED it. it brought back childhood memories and I realised it's been 20 years since I had such a fan good waffle. perfectly crunchy outside and tender soft inside. you have to go try it out. the chai latte was good too, just didn't enjoy the residual spices you get in your mouth on your last sip hence the 4.

Such a cute little place full of sweet, sweet joy!!!<br/><br/>There are so many varieties of crepes and waffles on their menu, it makes me go absolutely wild!<br/><br/>I love their Coconut Ice Cream with any of their basic sweet crepes. <br/><br/>I have also had their flavoured waffles - Lemon Meringue and Cinnamon something🤦🏽‍♀️I've kinda forgotten the names now but they were very yummy!<br/><br/>I will definitely be back for some savoury treats and the Tumeric Latte. Can't wait 😊

Waffle Creme Brûlée was acceptable!! Creative and pretty! <br/>The service and care was exceptional. The interior design and colours are beautiful. Small restaurant so try and book soon (minimal seating) and watch the closing times!! Must try!

Rather Tart has been on my radar for a while now and I was meeting a friend for coffee so I suggested we go try it out. I was very excited to visit this restaurant because who wouldn't be at the thought of waffles and crêpes?<br/><br/>The restaurant is small with limited seating. It is a simple but beautifully decorated space and it looks exactly like I imagined a dessert bar should.<br/><br/>I was so undecided on what to eat and drink so when I was looking at the drinks menu, I noticed that they had a turmeric latte. I've had quite a few before so I decided to try it out. When it arrived, it was super hot and when I eventually managed to take a sip, it was very strong and not like any of the other turmeric lattes I've had before. I don't think I'd order it again.<br/><br/>I went there with the intention of having something sweet to eat but then ended up having a savoury crêpe because I hadn't had lunch. I settled on the crêpe with chicken in a creamy sauce and sautéed mushrooms. It was very nice but I did find that it became a bit rich towards the end.<br/><br/>The service was a little slow and the restaurant wasn't even that busy. We waited quite a while for our bill despite asking for it 2 times. I left Rather Tart feeling somewhat underwhelmed but I would like to go back and try something sweet!

I ordered the strawberry waffles with vanilla ice cream and raspberry sauce. The waffle was average. I didn't enjoy it because it was quite oily and a bit soggy.

Despite the wonderful service, Rather Tart gets a low score on the basis of my two-sips-couldn’t-finish turmeric latte. <br/><br/>It’s not hard to see what happened with my latte: someone decided to place a trending drink on the menu without knowing how to make it. Pro Tip: if you’re not going to use fresh turmeric root, let the powder simmer in the infusion for at least 15-20 minutes. Add some spices. <br/><br/>The coffee I tasted from my friends was also pretty average (not as bad as my latte though). <br/><br/>I’d go back to taste the desserts because I hear they’re good so, until then, my review isn’t incomplete.

Cute, small cosy little place with breakfast options, waffles and crepes.the ice cream is truly delicious and they also have a selection of French tarts.

Such a love design of the restaurant. The waiter was friendly. Its quite a busy restaurant. Loved their sweet and savoury crepes and waffles. The waffles are baked with the meat in the batter. So delicious. Can't wait to try the sweet options next time. Looks like the ice cream is limited to Vanilla, strawberry and chocolate. I hope the items on the menu with the asterisks are available next time. Its quite filling.

We satisfied our sweet tooth today by giving Rather Tart a try today. <br/>It's a really cute place that offers waffles, crepe, quiches and a few other little items. <br/><br/>My boyfriend and I both had classic waffles with two big scoops of ice cream which each cost R60. The waffles are made as ordered which results in this yummy warm base with cold ice cream on top which works really well.<br/><br/>Only downside is that they have so many great flavours/combination on the menu but are all not available. Only the more basic ones were actually available.

Best waffles and crepes in town! :) my personal favorite is the Nutella crepe with strawberries on the side :) they also have a great selection of tarts and samosa's :) I'm definitely going to Rather Tart again! :)

Look I'm a Rather Tart stalker...I look for them at all the food markets. So I was ecstatic when they opened a store. I had my usual Nutella crepe which was delicious. Also tasted their waffle with bacon & maple syrup which was so good. Really luv the new spot!

Finally a decent waffle place..... trust me it has been a long search! <br/>This is a lovely little...emphasis on the little place. They have quiches, tarts and waffles & crepes with a wide range of savory and sweet topping and fillings. We had the following: bacon, cheese and chive waffle and the same filling in a crepe, a bacon and maple waffle, a bacon quiche and the classic waffles with ice cream and cream. Every single thing was amazing. The waffle and perfectly crispy and the outside but light and fluffy on the inside. Exactly like European waffles. <br/>The service is friendly and good. Do expect a bit of a wait this is a small operation that gets really busy however the staff are attentive and really work at engaging and pleasing patrons. To top everything off they serve amazing coffee, my bug bear is hot beverages that are served so hot they are not drinkable for 2O mins. Apart from everything else the heat distorts the taste. No such worries here beautifully presented at the correct temperature. Well done barista!

Our second visit to rather tart. Really enjoyed the waffles. The savoury and sweet versions are great. Light and fluffy. The chocolate decadence was good - don't prefer hot chocolate usually but I enjoyed this one.

Whenever I go to one of the Joburg food markets I used to make sure that these guys were my first stall stop.<br/><br/>I was beyond excited when I found out they had opened a store where I could waffles any day of the week!<br/><br/>Went with a group of friends on a Saturday. The seating space is pretty limited, decor wise the wall paper is my fav aspect of the space. Service was a little slow.<br/><br/>It was rather disappointing that they didn't have the full range of toppings for the waffles and crepes available on the day that we went. However what we did try was great, light crispy and yummy.<br/><br/>The savoury quiches available are also very nicely done, particularly the mushroom one.<br/><br/>Still my favourite spot for waffles in Joburg.

Rather tart Morningside was unfortunately a complete let down today! Our waffle was so crispy and dry that it broke apart and crumbled completely on the plate. The crepe itself was tasty and had good texture but there were way too many whole nuts in the filling which were roasted until slightly burnt. Not worth it for R158.00<br/>Disappointing noting that it looked delicious on arrival but did not eat at all the way it looked. <br/>Such a lovely looking cafe with great decor, I wish it had lived up to our expectations!

Cute little restaurant nice quiet spot for breakfast. Had the American style waffle which was good but I preferred the sweet waffles that my friends had. The nutella waffle with vanilla gelato was delish and my friends really enjoyed the coconut ice cream. Service was good as well.

Rather Tart is just amazing in every which way! They are newly opened, but they really didn't miss a beat on service, ambiance or food. The service was excellent and the setup and decor was so cosy and inviting. <br/><br/>They serve a selection of sweet and savory tarts, waffles and crepes. We had the most delicious nutella crepe and banana waffle accompanied by some great coffee. Rather Tart is definitely going to become a regular spot for us...

Such a lovely experience. Finest waffles this side of the city and exceptional service. The decor is lovely, warm welcoming vibes and friendly service to boot. Will surely be back.
