No little throbb. They consistently deliver good quality food with friendly and efficient service in a pleasant atmosphere. The first surprise of the evening was the La Trappe blond larger in a delightful beer glass. Oh, so smooth we ended up buying the gift pack of 4 beers and a glass. The second surprise was the fillet on the bone, my first with a source ‘to die for’. Definitely choose the medium option as the meat closer to the bone is more under cooked. Above average fillet price but worth the experience.
Love the atmosphere and decor. Our waitress was pleasant and we had good service.We were served with complimentary flat bread/butter/Parmesan/chilli/. Food was average however the prawn curry was way below average and tasted bitter. Their desserts are good.I just got my sherry and accidentally spilled all of it . The manager said I gotta pay for another one - I own a coffee shop and I will gladly replace a spilled drink at no charge. For a restaurant that busy as a manager without batting an eyelid should of done the opposite.
Good portion sizes and quick service. This place has a slightly French, but mostly homely, neighbourhood feel to it. Their food is good, I especially liked the bunny chow, a brioche bun stuffed to overflow with spicy chicken livers and a side of scrambled eggs.Shout-out to their plain croissant - flaky and buttery. Avoid the variants of almond or chocolate though, the almond tasted overpowering of almond liqueur and the chocolate was dense and heavy.
Scrumptious fare ! Splendidly presented large portions of deliciousness. Superb decor creating a friendly, relaxed atmosphere together with the lovely staff. Its hidden away and youve got to know where youre going, but its well worth the small detour. Lovely safe outside seating area, well ventilated and covid conscious. Highly recommended.
This is a small but charming restaurant. I like the location - quiet but conveniently close to Monte. The food was incredible. I had the prawn penne pasta. It was fresh and delicious and served super hot. Will definitely be back for this dish. The coffee was also good. I’d rate the Service as average to good. So overall rating would be 4.5 stars.
I often meet friends at Mon Petit Throbb and love the atmosphere. Convenient situated to reach Easy to reach and safe and accessible parking.The food are prepared to perfection and the prices reasonable. Bread etc are baked on the premises. Wine list is excellent.
They had run out of quite a few dishes and the only reason we went there was because of their American cheesecake which was also finished😔. The food that the rest of our party got was according to them delicious and I had the chicken salad which was tasty but chicken salad is chicken salad. The birthday gesture dessert, ice cream was enjoyed by my husband😄😄will visit again but maybe during the week to purchase their artisinal breads and finally get my American cheesecake!!
Great food and atmosphere with a diverse menu that caters for all tastes. The waiters are good and even though they dont always get it right, theyre quick to correct mistakes. Always has been a gem of a spot.
I went there for lunch today, not knowing the place, mostly good reviews and the usual disgruntled customer. Located in an office park, the set-up is rather nice hinting the claimed french bistro style. I am very please to discover that they offer la Trappe beer on tap, menu is enticing, very promising. I set my mind for the mussel pot (being very wary of mussels in SA restaurants). The menu announces mussels steamed in garlic and wine with a HINT of cream. Perfect for a light Friday lunch. I finish my beer and order a glass of wine, weve been served some focaccia in the mean time, a bit of a wait but so far so good. After some more wait, halfway through my glass of wine, comes the mussel pot, I open the lid and there have to dive to the bottom of it to discover a couple of mussels chasing each other while drowning in what looks like a thick cheesy sauce. In dismay I called the waitress and indicate that this is not what was described on the menu and that I was expecting a full portion not a starter one. The poor lady apologies and heads back to the kitchen to get me a new pot of mussels. Another wait... comes the manager advising the kitchen is busy fixing another mussel pot for me. wait, wait wait... here comes the long expected pot! It doesnt look like there are more mussels in that one. The sauce looks lighter but still like a cheesy creamy thing and not a broth... Here comes the manager, pleased to tell me that they have given me 26 mussels! when the normal portion is 20. Really not convinced but still willing to try, I pick up the one mussel eat it, what a feeling... just like picking up an old chewing gum from under your school desk! Thats where it stopped, I asked for the bill and left, dumbfounded. How can someone mess mussels that badly? how much effort does it take?
French fine dining is usually super expensive and you always leave hungry or make a stop at McDs on your way home. Mon Petit Throbb cultivates and serves the most delicious French cuisine in a beautiful and humble Cafe style. If youre looking for a must-visit and close to home Parisienne experience, Mon Petit Throbb is the place to visit. Cant wait to go back.
Incredible Butter Chicken! Great service too!
Great atmosphere. Well priced & excellent food. Service is average so I cant give it a full 5 star rating.
Amazing Breakfast. Lovely atmosphere. Makes an amazing date spot
Underwhelming- but I was there over breakfast. The lunch menu looks interesting and I would give it try soon . The decor is lovely.
Great food, great atmosphere. Covid compliant , without it distracting from the fab dining experiemce.
Very good food and staff. Lovely decor but slightly loud due to location so more group friendly for louder crowds!
Ordered eggs benedict, menu says it comes with English muffins which is the norm. When it arrived it was just poached eggs on rye bread. Thats not eggs benedict, thats eggs on toast. The manager said they were out of English muffins but she is still unable to discount the price. The waitress also didnt tell us they were out of English muffins. Not good.
My wife has been a number of times with girl friends but today was our first time together. What a lovely relaxed ambiance and fantastic venue for a celebratory breakfast. What was particularly outstanding was the service and attention to detail from Polite. Thank you Sir you are a gentleman. I look forward to coming back with our fourlegged fur kid for another delightful meal on the patio. Im confident this will be our weekend brunch spot of choice going forward.
Food was good. Hot cappuccino Good service
Amazing service. Delicious food and a great atmosphere. I will be sure to visit again.
Outstanding restuarant. Service is excellent. Food UNBELIEVABLE. Ambience was perfect. Absolutely brilliant.
Their meals are worth it, wont regret. And tasty.
A very cozy and welcoming atmosphere and staff. The food is amazing and definately made with love. Mind blown by the muscles that I ordered they were huge with a perfect sauce! Dessert was a treat!A hidden gem! I am excited to go back and try more dishes!
Its a lovely little restaurant next to Montecasino, with very friendly staff. Loved the Thai Fish cakes that I had for a starter. They also have craft beers, which my friend appeared to enjoy (I dont drink so cant vouch for that 😉)
Can recommend it to anyone! The most amazing food!
Fantastic service, amazing food! I can recommend the lamb cutlets, perfectly cooked, juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside, perfect amount of mint in the sauce. Outstanding!
This restaurant has a gorgeous interior. Id recommend for first dates, second dates, mothers day lunch, anything that involves being social in a beautiful, vibrant spot. Great food, great service.
Great service, good food in a lovely, quiet setting. Generous helping of salmon in the omelette, which was a pleasant surprise. One often just gets bits and pieces thrown in but Mon Petit exceeded my expectations.
Great food, flavours, fresh produce and presentations. Awesome service.
Nice ambience. Italian/fusion menu with good choice of Italian, seafood and variety of meat dishes. Excellent service, waiter was courteous and well trained.
My favourite place for lunch. Fresh breads made on site... you see the dough being rolled. Lovely cottage decor and festive atmosphere. Good service.
Love this place. For a quick coffee or sit down meal- its the perfect choice either way. Will always go back without a doubt😊
Get the salmon for breakfast. You wont regret it.
Excellent dishes, chewy mouth watering food and great customer service
A great little cafe/restaurant in Johannesburg. Tucked away so a little hard to find but well worth it. Fresh baked croissants in the morning with coffee - great. Dinner food was outstanding and the service was tops! Definitely check it out
Very nice place to go for honeymoon good customer care
Good stop for a quick breakfast or afternoon tea and cake. Rustic decor and relaxing. They have their own bakery.
Great. My husband had fillet on the bone and he was very impressed and that doesnt happen often. Really cute place and ambiance. Will definitely be back.
We had a breakfast par excellence! Well sized, no extra charges for 2 slices pp of delicious healthbread. I ordered salmon and scrambled eggs. Eggs were cooked to perfection and a very generous helping of lovely salmon. My husband had the full Monte and thoroughly enjoyed it. Very well priced too compared to the other restaurants that we frequent. My cappuccino was too milky initially but I asked the waiter for a stronger one with more foam than milk and they made it how I enjoy my cappuccino. Will definitely visit again soon
Lovely atmosphere and delicious food. Loved their Thai prawn and calamari salad. It was an adventure for the taste buds
A few steps across from Monte Casino. Parking is safe and secure. Restaurant has a typical bistro feel and look ie Parisian and small. Very well done and effort made in this regard. Been here a couple of times and every time the Manager greets you the moment you walk in and staff seat you immediately. Have found staff wonderfully friendly. Menu is not overdone and has a nice selection. Wine list is also not overdone. A great place for any occasion, they know what they are doing. Service has always been fast and efficient no matter what time of day and how busy. Only drawback maybe a Friday evening live music, which may entail screaming above the music to your partner/guests. Highly recommended overall
A sanctuary for date night, never been let down. Great quality, super service and amazing food that is just absolutely yummy!
Very nice food! I had the Haloumni salad and it was fantastic. Usually not too busy and a nice quiet vibe
The food was great. Starters, main course and deserts were all good with our group of 10. The service was really bad. Lack of atfention and lack of caring. One of the chairs had a nail sticking through the upholstery damaging one of our partys clothing. Little sign of concern. Wont go back.
Their French toast is great Soaked through and fried just right. Not like other places where the bread has not soaked properly and might as well be a fired piece of bread.
Restaurants near hotels often fail to impress. Mon Petite Throb is a pleasant exception. Well appointed, good service and a good selection for all tastes. Despite there being a restaurant next door and Monte Casino across the road MPT attracts both locals and hotel guests. Both lunch and dinner is busy so booking is suggested but there is usually some space. Wine list is good and enough Vegetarian options as well. Well managed and responsive I take both local and and overseas guests with confidence. From salads, steaks and pizza there is always something for everyone.
The food is fantastic, great place to go for a high end business dinner, as well a romantic setting for couples. The place isnt suitable for kids. The service is great and always look at their chef specialailities bord for something out of this world.
Quaint. Love the Decor. Service very slow. When food delivered was pleasant and fresh which is important after all!
Cosy, Rustic little place with great ambience. Food was good too. I had a veg dish so cant really comment on the meat dishes. The best part was their service. Waiters are friendly and pleasant all the time.
Really good food, simply cooked but with wonderful flavours. Great service and amazing cheesecake
Pizza is absolutely on point. Creme brulee can be better. Make sure you book. Service is 👌
Ticked away in a corner. Great breakfast spot. Arrived to a huge fight between owner and waiter. Other than that, all good.
Delightful experience. The food was excellent. The wait staff were friendly and ensured we were well looked after. I will definitely return.
Food to die for and their Strawberry Daiquiris are everything! Our Waitress was excellent and I cannot praise her or the restaurant enough. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE
Hidden away in a faceless office complex with views towards Witkoppen Road- this was the bad, now go there.Its a world on its own, full of charme and atmospheric interior design.Service is great, food is amazing, pricing goes from affordable (R51 for a proper breakfast) to yeah Ill go once a month. Ah, and they bake their own bread, of course.
Trendy menu, vibey atmosphere. Lovely wine and cocktail selections. Personally I thought that the restaurant could consider adding a few additional lunch options to choose from.
Food is great, loads of options in their menu!
The brunch menu is amazing! Staff were friendly and the place had an awesome vibe.
Excellent waiter, quick, friendly service on a busy mothers day lunch afternoon.( with 2 and 4 year old .kiddies who were also looked after in an unhurried, friendly atmosphere, convenient safe parking a few steps from the choice of patio or inside but airy areas ...select menu for every taste....First class presentation of an unexpectedly wholesome top quality fine dining meal!!Will recommend to all! Thank you from one spoilt grandmom !!
Proper excellent lunch! Every dish was great, salmon, beef fillet, rump steak all were thoroughly enjoyed. The platter of cold meats was impressive. Lekker selection of beers and ice cold cocktails. Yummy 😀
Service outstanding and food time DIE for.
I ordered a Salmone pizza, which I loved! The service is very good and the menu offers a good variety
Great decor, friendly waiter & healthy food.
Great food. Lovely atmosphere. Can highly recommend the steak and the good selection of imported beers
Oh my word, what a jewel of a place. Must go-to. Best atmosphere
Great Breakfasts. Excellent service from when you arrive till you leave. Worth a visit
One of my many favourite places to eat.I love the food,the decor and the position of the restaurant.However I do find the waitresses are not familiar with dishes when asking certain questions. the service could be better
Intimate dinning. Great food and staff. No views but very gorgeous inside.
Great service and food. I really enjoyed the vibe there too. Will be going back for sure
Very good food and great atmosphere.
What a great venue and the food was fantastic. Close to Monticasino, but tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Monti.If youd like to enjoy a great meal, in an understated decor restaurant, this is a must. Specially sitting in the warmth of the enclosed Patio section, where the warm winter sun fills the whole area, creating an inviting, and homely atmosphere.Defenitly 5*****
Decided to try Mon Petit Throbb this past sunday for breakfast/brunch... Walked and it was really, a group of 40 bikers had turned up. From the outset expectations were set that the service might be little slow due to the large turn up.. The breakfast was really really good. We ordered the Eggs Florentine and the Full Monty. Both meals were excellent and to be honest for the taste and presentation they outdo places that charge a while lot more for breakfast!! Well done! Will definitely be back for more!
A stunning and intimate restaurant hidden in an office park in Fourways. Amazing food and great ambience. Perfect for date night or a bite with a friend.
