East City Food Tour
This tour celebrates our ultimate favourite places to eat on the eastside of the inner-city. The focus is on Pan-African food with a dash of the Mediterranean thrown into the mix.
We start off at JSE Newtown and travel to Little Addis, the frenetic and astonishing Ethiopian Quarter in the city. Here we enjoy exquisite Ethiopian coffee, before reclining for delectable Ethiopian njera – a taste sensation of flat bread with meaty and vegan toppings. We also shop for the freshest bread at a local bakery.
Next up is Kalahari Thyme in Maboneng for a proper African stew. We then proceed to Victoria Yards to visit one of Joburg’s most famous delis: Fama, known for their fantastic salamis and processed meats, produced on site.
Lastly, we enjoy the landmark Troyeville Hotel, celebrated for their Portuguese cuisine, of-course influenced by nearby Mozambique. Apart from the feast of cuisines, Charlie tells the stories of African and Mediterranean migrant communities in Johannesburg. An excellent day out to cherish for a long time!
We offer this tour as a private tour at R3000 for up to 4 guests. Or R750 per person if you are more than 4. Note that we do not provide transport but walk and hop between the places with Uber (cost for the guest’s own account). We start at JSE Newtown and Uber to Little Addis. From there we Uber to Maboneng, then to Victoria Yards and lastly to the Troyeville hotel. Guests can then Uber back to JSE Newtown if they parked there, or Uber straight home. Guests therefore need to pay for four to five Uber trips along the way.
If you prefer, we can also book transport for you with hotel pickup and drop off and drive you for the entire tour. The additional cost for transport and driver is R2300 (transport cost to be confirmed when booking).
