Read full reviewI have never experienced such phenomenal service in South Africa as I have at Glenda's on Friday evening. The staff should be commended for their impeccable service. The food was outstanding as well. Having eaten at several Michelin star restaurants overseas, the calamari starter with charcoal mayo was up there with the best of fine dining. The fillet bearnaise was cooked to perfection. The malva pudding and custard dessert was a work of art to look at however malva pudding itself is a very sweet dessert and with the added ice cream, meringue and other bits, it became too sweet to eat, I unfortunately was unable to finish the dessert.
We were first in for dinner, friendly, organised staff, bright and colourful surroundings.
Starter Calamari - I cannot remember having so finely cooked, presented, with a range of interesting tastes.
Main, belly pork...wow, just...wow...loved it.

Main, belly pork...wow, just...wow...loved it.
Dessert choc surprise, again, well presented and interesting textures and tastes.
Joshua is one of the best waiters that I can remember, always had filled jugs of water, no asking, kept the wine topped up, no asking, asked if we were ready for next course, no pushing, waited for us to finish before clearing plates, very well done, friendly and professional. The host also checked on us several times. This is a happy place to eat with friends and loved ones...what a find...thank you Restaurant Week and my lifetime buddies KLM!

Seated against the backdrop of striking florals added a wonderful flirty ambiance to date night with my fiancé .
The starter of grilled calamari was beautifully presented with a charcoal mayo .
My main and favorite dish of Glenda's the roast chicken was succulent and sublime .
The show stopper was the poached Gauva dessert .
Every mouth full had different textures with a robust sweet , fruity guava flavour .
Well done Glenda's on outstanding service and food we truly felt special .
We ate here last night for the opening night of Restaurant Week 2017. We were greeted by friendly staff and the owner.
Glenda's has a lovely atmosphere and we felt instantly relaxed once seated. The best dishes of the evening were the Roasted Figs (starter), the Roast Chicken and all the desserts were winners!
Will definitely be back for more!

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.
