Browse through the top bistros in Johannesburg with Dining-OUT

A bistro, as the name might have given away, is a Parisian creation. But unlike other eateries inspired by the French, the bistro is not necessarily a smart or fancy place to eat. Instead, consider this style of eatery as a small, inexpensive restaurant. And a great choice for a lazy day! These restaurants are designed to provide you with moderately priced, delicious food in decent sized servings. Basically, you will feel happy, content and filled after a meal at one of the bistros in Johannesburg.

Finding French-inspired food is one thing. Finding slow cooked, French-inspired food is another. Bistros are known for their slow cooking methods, a style of cooking that means everything is more than soft and tender. Meat drops off the bone, and stews are to die for. That is what you can expect when you order a meal at a bistro. These restaurants had their beginnings in the basement kitchens of Parisian apartments. The bistro would supplement the incomes of the landlords of the apartments. Today, you are more likely to find a bistro in hotels and other styles of accommodation, while they are also often connected to bars.

The menus might be simpler, but the food is anything but simple. Considering that Johannesburg is home to some of the best places to eat, you can be certain that bistros in the city will not disappoint. Johannesburg has some of South Africa’s best bistros. The food is varied, with delicious flavours to be enjoyed. And with only fresh ingredients used, a meal at a bistro is sure to fill your senses just as it fills your stomach.
