Picture Linger Longer in Wierda Valley, Sandton, Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa Linger Longer's beautiful surroundings and international reputation belies its very humble beginnings in downtown Johannesburg. Established as a tearoom on the ground floor front rooms of a pre-war rooming house, Linger Longer served its first guests in 1961.

Toward the end of 1964, two German restaurateurs acquired the quaint tearoom and set about converting it into a restaurant. Little did they know that this little restaurant they so lovingly nurtured would become one of South Africa's longest surviving and favourite fine dining restaurants. Regrettably, both these enthusiastic entrepreneurs were killed in a motor accident in 1968 and Linger Longer's future hung in the balance.

In 1979 the Jackson's retired to Natal and the restaurant was acquired by brothers John and Ben Filmalter who are the present owners.
