Glenda's food is truly excellent. Really good ingredients prepared simply without pretense. Wonderful bar. Magnificent patisserie. The Restaurant Week menu is extremely good value for money. Best when Glenda is on site personally (which is much of the time). Friendly and engaged staff make all welcome and know many customers personally. Service can be a little slow when busy. Very busy during the day but less so at night. One of Joburg's best kept secrets for dinner - very welcoming atmosphere for singles after a busy day at the office.

Definitely will go back.

Afterwards we had the apple pie with rhubarb and cream. Fabulous!!

We were all very happy with our food and what made Glenda's dishes so very good is
the sauces which accompany the food, very special making it stand out from the normal fare.
Will definately dine there again.

Thank you Glenda for making us feel so welcome.

About Glenda's

About Glenda’s Restaurant


Glenda’s focus is on seasonal flavours with a constantly changing menu. We have planted a nursery in our courtyard where herbs and salad leaves are plucked for the dishes.


We cater for all occasions, serving breakfast, brunch, lunch & dinner. Think deviled eggs, artichoke gratin or duck and waffle served with a sprinkling of edible flowers. A marbled bar is open for after-work drinks.  Don’t forget to try the Pink Tiki or Clockwork Orange or relax in the Choux Choux lounge with a glass of Champagne or Prosecco.


‘Dotty Choux’ is our takeaway patisserie counter that specialises in choux pastries of colours and flavours. Our sensational cakes can be made to order.  Try the salted caramel popcorn cake – it is to die for! Glenda’s brings sophistication and elegance to this sunny spot nestled in Hyde Square, Johannesburg. We hope to create a haven where people can savour every freshly made meal and leave feeling like they have to come back again and soon.


About Glenda Lederle


After creating and nurturing the beloved Patisserie in Johannesburg’s Illovo for 10 years, Glenda Lederle sold in 2002 and moved to start up the infinitely popular, Katerina’s restaurant at Kurland Estate outside of Plettenberg Bay.


It was at the Patisserie that Glenda became renowned for her beautifully presented pastries and cakes however not many people know that in 2013 & 2014, Glenda decided to travel the world. She trained in some of Europe & America’s top kitchens from ‘The Red Rooster’ in New York City, to the acclaimed ‘Petersham Nursery’ & world famous ‘River Café’ in London to Four Seasons Michelin starred restaurant in Berlin.


Having returned home in May 2015 to seek out a new spot for her restaurant, Glenda bided her time until the right location presented itself. Glenda’s in Hyde Square is now open for breakfast, lunch, tea, after work drinks and dinner. There is also a ‘choux choux’ lounge for quaffing champagne and ‘Dotty Choux’ the takeaway patisserie counter specialising in Choux Pastry.
