Shopping Centre News
We hope you had an excellent Festive Season, and that 2019 is shaping up well
for you..
This month we list a number of changes in Chilli Lane Shopping Centre Sunninghill,
Nicolway Bryanston,
Benmore Gardens Shopping Centre,
and elsewhere. Please remember that you can always
e-mail us
changes that you spot before we do! (Please remember to include a description of
what the shop sells, and as many contact details as you can)
Junipas Restaurant in Hobart Grove had indeed closed for good, as we
concluded. It has now been replaced by a Doppio Zero. (Shouldn't
that be "Doppio One"? There's already a Doppio Zero in Chill Lane. How
confusing!)

Restaurant Review by Judith Back to top
***** Danilo’s Ristorante Italiano, 17 Poplar Avenue, Riverclub
Want to go somewhere really different, then this is a place to visit!
NO fuss Italian restaurant in Riverclub with tubs of flowers and
balconies. This is a very welcoming place and lovely for lunch. We
ordered Gooseberry Sauvignon Blanc and plain cold water! Food was
Gamberi Zucchini and Insalata Tonno. Prawns with Zucchini and Tuna Salad
in English. The prawns were wonderful as was the salad. The wine
delicious. Perfect lunch to end a great morning!

**** 011 Morningside, The Wedge,
Rivonia Road, Morningside
This is part of the Baron chain of restaurants and is on the lower level of
the Wedge. It has an outside balcony for summer and sunny days. Our waiter was
Goodness and made sure we were well looked after. To drink, my partner had
Tomato Cocktail and I had Durban Sauvignon Blanc, which was a good enjoyable
wine. Been very happy with all the wines I tried in 2018. To eat, my
partner had Liver and Onions and I had Calamari. Both were good. The calamari
were so good that I was naughty and indulged in a slice of cheese cake!
011 also has a Sports bar, so it’s a great place to go if you are a fan!
Now that the work at the Wedge is finished, I think this plus Morningside Shops
will be two of the best restaurant venues around.

Funny Language, English...
Speakers continue to twist the language into new
forms by blending existing idioms. A recent coinage is, "You nailed
it on the head!" This seems to be an amalgam of "You nailed it!" and "You hit
the nail on the head!"
