A Local’s Guide to South Africa

"For breakfast, Arbour Cafe; it’s a little cute restaurant with a courtyard, beautifully tucked away in the Melrose area of Johannesburg."

Arbour Café & Courtyard

Food amazing, service thoughtful and atmosphere is neighborly. When looking for a place that values their clients and it reflects on all round experience then this is a benchmark. Doesn’t look busy from the outside but it is buzzing with activity. Quaint courtyard or undercover patio. It is all good. Clearly the locals agree. Burgers for breakfast! Let’s go.

We have been coming here for 6 months and one of our favourite spots. All day breakfast in a sunny hidden square. I love their eggs benny with Brie and prosciutto. Great service and delicious food.

Manager was friendly and smiling. Courtyard is a little bit cramped for the number of tables they have and cater for. Food was quite good and flavourful. I had the grilled rib eye strip baguette. Service is somewhat slow and could be improved. Not a bad experience if you don't mind waiting, but you could get better service elsewhere.

Beautiful courtyard setting with friendly staff who seemed a bit busy. Lovely water feature and light filled but take your sunnies as it's fairly bright on the eyes. Menu looked lovely but I thought the nutella French toast was very pricey and over laden with too many bananas. The dish needs a bit of refinement and sone flavour balance Would have preferred more eggy French toast as it seemed more like fried bread. Food was OK not wonderful.

Arbour Café and Courtyard is an absolute gem! The food is absolutely delicious — a solid 10/10. Every dish is crafted with care and bursting with flavour. The ambiance is magical — you truly feel like you’ve been whisked away to a quaint Parisian café, far from the hustle of everyday life. The service is exceptional, warm, and attentive, making the entire experience even more memorable. I’ve completely fallen in love with this place and will definitely be visiting often. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a charming spot with incredible food and atmosphere!

Hidden in a courtyard, this establishment is visited by a trendy crowd. We weren't wowed by our food, but we still enjoyed the experience. Must book for groups bigger than 4.

Great reception, the stuff is kind well articulated and the level of service they give you can tell they love their Jobs u can feel sense connection between Them and their work. I am definitely recommending this to my friends, colleagues and family

It's definitely a cute spot for the folks that like bottomless mimosas. It's also cute for those that just like having Sunday brunch at hidden cafes. My only thing is the courtyard needs to have proper umbrellas to shield the patrons from the relentless Joburg sun. Definitely coming back!
