The Shortmarket Club Johannesburg

5 Azania Mosaka - 4 months ago

Celebrated Cape Town chef, Luke Dale Roberts, has finally opened a restaurant in Johannesburg. He is famous for the Test Kitchen and the Pot Luck Club. With a welcoming reception outside the restaurant, the enormous Red door conceals the the restaurant interior.

The staff was amazing. The service is so speedy. The staff share the tips/service charge. So the service is so smooth and slick. All waiters help all tables. Winning formula. No waving at your waiter necessary.

The food was delicious! Delicious! Delicious! I can’t wait to get back there. From the complimentary bread, to the oysters, to the lamb curry, to the fish dish and desserts. The presentation of the oysters was quite an experience. The night was perfect. Every aspect was perfection and so effortless.

Such a lovely fine dining experience. Food was exceptional. They even have a special vegetarian menu (and not just one or two dishes). Even the meat dishes that the rest of our group had was so flavorful. Service was also great!
Recommended wine pairing was ????????????????.
Highly recommend. ????????????????????????

It's difficult to chose between this and the Pot Luck Club in Cape Town. Both restaurants execute every single element of every single dish to absolute perfection. In my opinion they both share 1st position for best restaurant in the country. Flavour, balance and execution. At this level, the best value for money IMO.

An absolutely amazing experience. The food was beyond delicious. Wendy recommended the most heavenly cocktails and Tendai was very attentive.
From starters to dessert we were satisfied and will definitely return.

This is a true premium dining experience. I wouldn't call this haute cuisine, but it certainly is food made with great skill and talent.

I loved the quality of the wait staff, everyone was impeccably trained and attentive, a rare occurrence in today's dining landscape.

This place is hella expensive, but it's worth the splurge.

Shortmarket Club was a delightful experience for our anniversary. We had the Oysters which had the perfect amount of hot and tangy. Linefish of the day was incredible. The chocolate fondant was too rich for us to finish but overall a great dining experience and good service.

Excellent service, good food and ambience. Went with a group of 10 pax
For starters I had the oysters A++ - the plating has drama and engages the senses
For mains I had the fish, it was good. Good sear on the skin and carefully prepared. I enjoyed the asparagus the most.
Dessert, I had the brownies and honestly it was the low point of the meal for me. I wish I hadn't had it.
Great coffee.
