With that in mind, we thought there’s no better time to put together an issue dedicated to eating and travelling like a true Joburger, filledwith must-dos to experience the Cityof Goldlike alocal.

Our cover star this month is the newest addition to the hot foodie district of Linden thatlocals are alreadyflockingto on weekends –Gaucho Restaurant. Flip to our cover feature to read all about this gem dedicated to the food cultures of South America along with two other local hotspots. A personal favourite is Sotto Sopra, the new Italian restaurant that’s opened on Keyes Art Mile. The Malfy G&Ts and top-notch pizzas at this colourful, art-filledspotare whatSundayafternoon dreams are made of!

Our Dining Out section is also packed with must-visit places to eat and drink. From our Restaurant of the Month, the Mediterranean-inspired Ethos Restaurant in Morningside, to hotspots like Kitchen Grill in Rosebank,we’vedoneourbesttokeepyourappetitessatisfiedthismonth. Also be sure to check out our candid review of The Greenhouse Bar, the botanical bar that’s just opened in the BP building on Oxford Road in Rosebank.

Other must-reads in this issue include our Leisure Activities feature on what Joburgers actually do on weekends (you’ll be surprised!) and our Conferencing & Events feature on where to conference for a taste of Mzansi, including some lifestyle add-ons for when the workday is said and done.
