The Green Peppercorn Bistro

Morningside

We took a short ride out to Morningside shopping centre today as we needed to do some shopping for unique bar memorabilia. But we first stopped off at The Green Peppercorn Bistro for breakfast. What a great little restaurant with friendly staff and great vibe. The restaurant overlooks the small parking lot and during warm summer days the large fold away doors are open. This morning it was a bit chilly as winter starts to set in, so the doors were kept closed and we sat inside away from the cold chill of outside.

Service was fast, friendly and inviting and the breakfast was really good. They also have a sushi bar Mr Maki which probably produces the most amazing freshly made sushi to order. Not what we want for breakfast, but makes this a great lunch or dinner venue too.

They have a great wine selection and alcohol is available for onsite consumption during Covid. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast and would love to return one night to see how it all works and looks at night.

It was then time to face the morning chilly air on the bike, but by now the sun was fully out and it was starting to warm up. That is what we love about the Joburg weather, winter is not cold, wet and miserable. Winters are cold, dry and Sunny. Back on the bike and onto Alshebrugar vintage bar memorabilia in Sandringham. We met Bruce the owner, what an amazing guy, he has so many stories about each item on display. He can tell you a hundred stories in one day and still have more to tell you tomorrow. A fantastic little store for different unique and quaint bar stuff. Some of it one of a kind stuff that no-one else has.

We ended up buying some stuff from him but could not fit it on the bike, so we had to head home to fetch the car. We bought these 3 coke cans that form a sort of bar stand and 2 chairs. Very cool.
