Restaurant Review by Judith Back to top

**** Milhaus Food & Wine Bar, Kyalami on Main Shopping Centre, R55 Kyalami Main Road corner Dytchley Rd

Two very hungry people left a seminar in Midrand and stopped off at this shopping centre in search of lunch!  We first tried Rocomama's but the noise and lack of attention drove us out.  Their loss was Milhaus' gain –and ours!  Again a restaurant with a view back south over Sandton.  It is also a very creative one!

They do a "Flight of Wine" to introduce you to their extensive range of wines for R50!  I should have written my choices down.  They were all excellent white wines.  My partner had a fresh Strawberry juice which smelt wonderful.  He had their hake and chips whilst I had their French Burger.  This had to be sent back as the menu did not indicate that it came smothered in sweet sauces.  The sauceless one was perfectly Bleu and had a good salad with it.

Clever was our very courteous waiter.  This is worth going to again for a special occasion.

Shopping News   Back to top

The Mall of Africa opened yesterday in Waterfall City, Midrand, Gauteng. It is the largest shopping mall to be built in Africa in a single phase, with a total retail area of 131,000 square metres, and a gross area of 550,000 square metres.  Many of the shops have opening specials, and traffic congestion has been reported as the "Crawl of Africa", while inside it seems to have been the "Maul of Africa".

There appear to be five levels of parking, some 24 entrances, and two shopping levels, confusingly called Levels 3 and 5.  If your physical fitness routine involves walking long distances around huge malls together with vast crowds, this will probably suit you well.  The mall's website map is at www.mallofafrica.co.za/mall-map, not interactive as claimed.
