The first night in Johannesburg, Victoria was our little guardian angel, who made the most delicious hummus and homemade pita bread. For dinner she made a tender beef stew filled with potatoes and carrots and couscous. Marcus and I slept most of the afternoon, trying to fight off the cold.
The second night we all ventured into Melville, which is a very cute, trendy suburb filled with restaurants, small spas, and mom & pop shops selling clothes, music, souvenirs. We decided to dine at the Melville Grill, which was a posh restaurant with beautiful stonework, dark rich woods, and a large fireplace. The service was excellent and the food was really good {which is not often the case in many restaurants we’ve gone to in South Africa.} At the end of the evening the owner of the restaurant came over to say hello and ask how we enjoyed the meal. He is an Ethiopian American, who intriguingly, is a former journalist turned restaurateur. He offers a lively evening of Salsa dancing at The Melville Grill and if you happen to be in Johannesburg I would definitely recommend stopping by for some excellent hospitality and interesting company.
