Earlier on the same day I confirmed my booking and the man that answered the phone was really great.
We arrived at the venue and easily found our table. It was great that the menu was already on the table.
The entire restaurant from outside to the inside was really beautiful and inviting. I was mesmerised. Beautiful colours, pictures and the flower on the table was so cute!
The menu said that pork belly was an option to choose from. However, that option was not available on the day. I would've liked to know that when I sat down and not be told by the waiter when I placed my order. Its a social phsycological thing ie when I arrive at the restaurant my expectation is that I will get what I want/ expect. Knowing sooner rather than later helps to prevent a bad mood from the client.
It would have been great knowing in advance what the alternative was for the pork belly.
Both my starter and main was delicious. The waitress took great care of us.
The sun that came through the restaurant was awesome and the natural lighting makes the place feel bigger.
I am happy that we had lunch at Glenda's. I will have lunch there again.
Thank you and well done to the Chef and all the staff at Glenda's.
Keep on keeping on!
Beautifully presented food - the plate looked like an artwork. Best calamari and pork belly I have ever had!
An absolute gem. The restaurant has such prettiness to it. The 3 course menu was devine. The pork belly was the stand our dish. Food was presented beautifully and tasted amazing. Loved everything about this spot and even left with take away petit fours and cake.

Read full reviewAfter waiting in anticipation for months, we finally managed to squeeze it in during restaurant week. Upon arrival we were greeted with friendly and welcome faces to beautifully decorated dining space. Food is of exceptional quality, chef and waitress are attentive and eager to exceed expectations. They even went the extra to make us espresso martinis on request although not having them on the menu. We are eager to return to try out their full menu!

Read full reviewThis has turned out to be the refreshing surprise on Restaurant Week. Glenda's is a cafe-style restaurant with really enjoyable decor, good service and superb cuisine. We thoroughly enjoyed all the courses. The plating was very well done and complemented the ambiance of the cafe. I had the fillet bearnaise for mains (grated Parmesan on my french fries turned out to be a winner!) and the malva pudding for dessert (dried raspberries with popcorn accompaniment!). Both were among the best I have ever had. We've done 4 restaurants this week so far and Glenda's is the first that I am truly excited about revisiting.

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.
