Read full reviewI do not generally gush about a place, but in this instance, WOW!! The food was not just delicious, especially the salmon fishcake, but the presentation done perfectly with each course. The fact that they provided a lunch with 3 courses for only R150 is astonishing as the quality and quantity of the food was over the top.
However, the cherry on the top for me, was the excellent service. The staff was helpful and friendly. I had to take my two babies with and they went above and beyond to accommodate them, especially as this is not really your average family restaurant.
I do not generally give a 5 to a restaurant lighltly, but as a result of the excellent staff, a 5 is well-deserved.
The service was slow. Waitor could have been friendlier
The lunch at Glenda's was very good. She approaches a simple salad creatively and combines flavours marvelously.
The salted caramel cake was simply divine!
A wonderful experience from beginning to end! Wonderful staff, great atmosphere and amazing food! Cant wait to go back again...
We had book club here and we loved the french inspired menu. The food was lovely. The service attentive and prompt. the ambience excellent. I love that there is ample safe parking. Only thing was I love Glenda's original chocolate fudge cake and the waitress said the chocolate pudding was that cake, but it was more of a mousse cake. Lovely coffee.

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.
