I enjoyed dinner here with a friend one evening, I was worried when I arrived if there was enough parking but good thing there’s more than enough behind the gate (and it’s free!). Our waiter paid enough attention to us and recommended a really good cocktail. I enjoyed my pasta and the dessert was okay I guess (regular vanilla ice cream without the espresso). Only taking off one star because there was an annoying man (not a patron at the restaurant but a guest at the hotel) who just would not go away — I guess that’s the downside of eating at a restaurant hotel.
Nice place to eat and listen to music with a wonderful view. 100% recommend
I think they have really great breakfast. I tbinkbtheirnin restaurant offering is pretty good. No beers on tap sadly. I decided to go with 3 stars because their delivery standards are shocking. The food is poor quality and mostly ice cold. I wouldnt recommend ordering from them.
First meal in South Africa. Tasty chips. Chicken uniquely done and delicious. Avocado salsa was fantastic but too small😁.
Very friendly staff but and even better at restaurant. My problem was the management of guests who make noise aat night
Its a vibe but sadly the service is slow and my experience ended in being treated poorly by the manager and favoring other customers. Very disappointed. But there are better places luckily nearby and better service too!
Nice location, food was great! I had a pure beef burger meal. I had to try that all black patty, haha. Deck could be better laid out as to make the most of it. Im into plants, so once again biased.
Outstanding, as per usual. Best Shakshouka Ive ever had (in SA). Well done guys!!!
Great atmosphere and the food was great as well!!
We have had Pablos Egg Go Bar on our to eat list for quite sometime. During the lockdown we were quite sad to hear of their closing, cos we kept wanting to take the trip to Mellville for a sunday breakfast.Luckily we heard they re-opened in the newly launched Mint Hotel 84 on Katherine St so we could finally get our share of Pablo Sandton 🎉🎉I called in the week to make a booking as I know many people were happy to hear they were back in business and now much closer too, so figured rather be safe than sorry. I was told that they dont take bookings over weekends, as we wanted to come around 9am for 3 people and were told that we should be able to get a table as it gets alot busier after 11am. Clearly that statement doesnt apply to everyone, as when we arrived there were some reserved tables of which I knew the one occupant. So that just annoyed me slightly.Luckily our waiter Wesley was on the ball. We ordered our drinks. Turmeric Lemonade and 2 x Cardamon Coffee. As a person who loves trying new varieties, this Lemonade is pretty darn good, cant say the reaction for the Cardamon coffee was good they said it tasted weak and lacked flavour.As for our food, we took the Red Shakshuka (I mean how can you not order it - 3 eggs poached in a middle eastern style tomato sauce with Hummus, Green salsa and Yemeni flat bread😋), the Breakfast bun (Steak & Bacon Cheddar balls with smoked back Bacon, crispy fried Egg, Pablos mayo on an English muffin with Triple cooked chips), Salmon Scramble (eggs scrambled in butter with smoked salmon, black sesame and coriander) and the Granola Yoghurt fruit bowl (Homemade Granola with fruit, real Greek yogurt, honey and toasted cashew and coconut)When the food arrived, everything looked amazing, and so did the taste. Our Shakshuka was just perfect and the eggs poached right. The yemeni flat bread with the hummus was also tummy..The Breakfast bun was good but the meatballs slightly dry, so needed some more pablo Mayo or something but otherwise tasty, and the chips - delicious. The scramble and the granola also tasted really fresh and lovely. Granola was particularly unique with its flavour profile and crunch. 👍🏻Great morning having a catchup, finished off with a Cappuccino with cream and a Dirty Espresso.Another compliment I must give is the clean and neat toilets, not often do you find establishments with such decent facilities. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Before leaving we took a quick walk by the outside tables by the pool. Not sure whose brave enough to swin there 🤔And my only other gripe is the parking area and signage. Someone didnt plan for all the big cars who dont know how to park in small places between lines and just finding this spot in general. I mean its literally where I work and I would have missed it completely.#TheFoodMusketeer#TheFoodMusketeerEats#TheFoodMusketeerDrinks#TFMPablosSandton
Beautiful vibe, delicious food
We call Pablo the breakfast place within my close friend group, I think primarily because of their Shakshuka; but its certainly much more than that. Ive stayed a weekend at the hotel in which its based. Had couple of meals. Let me tell you, they dont miss. Highly. Recommend. But if youre to try it out, start off with breakfast.
Only got takeaways, but really good. Pizza still good after having to reheat.
Really good food such a genuine sweet staff. Fairly priced and delicious. Well made drinks with knowledgeable bartenders.
Amazing food! friendly staff, lekker atmosphere and value for money
After reading a reviews and seeing the pictures on Instagram I added Pablo (inside Mint Hotel on Katherine Street) onto my list for #ShaziReviews to explore.My friend and I hadnt seen each other in a while and since Saturday 07 November was a sunny day I thought Great day to try out Pablo and eat by the pool deck! 😁 for #ShaziReviewsI was going to make a reservation but on the reviews they said they dont take reservations on weekends, not sure why.Saturday at lunchtime with the sun out in all its glory I arrive at the Mint hotel and the entry into the parking is 1 entry gate managed by 1 security guard scanning each car coming in so there was a 8 minute hold up 😑Once parked I enter the restaurant and it is PACKED 😭 and smaller than I expected it to be. COVID regulations are in place and the place is BUZZING but surprisingly not loud although it is full. The decor is minimal and warm, gives it a great look. Crowd is young and lively. I am seated by the lovely hostess at the pizza oven area to wait for a table.15 minutes later we are seated and waiting for a waiter, this takes a while. Eventually we get a waiter and order our drinks and food at the same time. Approximately 30 minutes later 1 of 2 items I ordered come out (kitchen issues 😑) and no drinks still 🤷🏾♀️ about 10 minutes later our cocktails arrive and 10 minutes later my second item comes out.Food was lovely, the flavors worked well together and so fresh 😍 I had the prawn & chorizo skewer and turmeric chicken thighs (both dishes are tapas and not main meals so dont expect large portions).I suggest you have the PALOMA cocktail when you go, it is DELICIOUS 😋 and not crazy sweet.At 3 a DJ came on the decks by the pool and played relaxed tunes and the crowd got MUCH younger 🤣😂 that was when we left. I will go back at 3 pm next time Im in a party mood.Service 1,5/5Look and feel 4/5Food 3/5Vibe 4/5
Good prices, great food and an amazing ambiance! However, signage leading to the restaurant could be better displayed from the street.But overall, fantastic experience!
What a lovely hidden gem in the Mint Hotel. Will be back for sure.
My partner and I have always loved Pablo-Eggs-Go-Bar in Melville so since their move we decided to check it out. Pablo is a mood. Great ambience, good food and flatbread to absolutely die for (Im not even exaggerating). The new spot looks like it would great for summer brunches sitting outside with friends/family or your partner and just enjoying life. Not to say its not a good spot right now in winter - its great all year round hahahaha but you know what I mean. In short - go there, its worth it.
Awesome spot, the club sandwich is amazing. Must try
Great place to hang out. Great food
Some of the tapas were excellent. Some were average. Service was good. Staff friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was a bit lacking for a dinner venue as it opens right up onto Katherine Drive so you are less than 10m away from the traffic when sitting out on the pool deck. Probably best for a weekend breakfast or evening pizzas when the traffic is light and ambiance is less important.
Nice music always playing on the background. Beautiful outside view, especially at night.
- Delicious food- Friendly & efficient staff- Good atmosphere
Loved it. Their breakfast is the best.
Coffee not bad but the breakfast sandwich with the truffle oil fries was a big miss for me. The burger was super salty but they tried to salvage it. Wont be going back.
Not a great place if you wanting a calm, quiet place to eat. If you want very loud must that you cant hear yourself think let alone hear what people are saying to you, then this is your place.
Very nice. Upmarket. Great venue. Great menu. Great service. What more do you want.
Food is super tasteful and well presented.Ambience is chilled out with a vibe.Definitely recommend.
Best Shakshuka and flat bread
Theyya food z nice
Get better signage for the turn.Try keep the all-day breakfast, that’s your USP. Food took too long and was underwhelming. The drinks too. Waiter forgot about other ordered meals. I was a regular at Melville but my visit to Sandton was so disappointing, for lack of a better word😏😢
Absolutely the best shakshuka in Joburg that I have eaten. Can be a bit buzzy but we had a great table upstairs ( recommended for children). Food and coffee is excellent.
Nice setting.They have limited knowledge of how to stick and manage a Bar.The waiter did not know the names of the drink ordered and poured the aperitif into the wrong glass.
I guess the pictures raised my expectations and my expectations were not met when I got there. Its a decent place, looks clean with a poolside and a small restaurant area. Lots of parking if you coming in with a car.The food itself? We were there for a quick bite and had the peri-peri prawns and a salad. The prawns felt over-priced but it really tasted good. Would be great for a side of salad, chips or something to be included in the price.
The Machete pizza was so good that it earned 5 stars on its own
Food is nice but its on a pricey side for someone on the budget
Lovely views and good food
Amazing breakfast. Great service too
Went the for lunch, had a burger 😑 salty n bland, breakfast sandwich was also bland.... food messed up my day amd experience...service everage... I wouldnt go there for the food unless u dont really care , u know u just a gobbler... guy next to us been saying the drinks they serving be warm... anyway. Traffic.
Went to Pablos for a late afternoon meal. Food was delicious and the service was incredible - Wesley is a great waiter and went above and beyond.Will be definitely be back.
Happy Breakfast after gym. Delicious food. Great ambience.
Great variety of cocktails to choose from. Intimate dining area. Secure parking
Always very fresh produce and generous plates
Ive eaten here a couple of times as I stay at the MINT quite often, the manager charged me R50 extra on cake and when I went to address it very nicely, he just changed the price and gave me the receipt, no apology. Nothing..
Amazing food, crative presentation and plating.
Not as classy and food not as good as the Melville branch
The red shakshuka is out of this world!
The setting of this place is beautiful, I lovethe view of Sandton at night from the pool.
It was great service and the food was fantastic
Food was amazing, drinks, atmosphere. Stunning 👏
Great menu. Amazing atmosphere and very affordable place
Place is super cute,, the drinks are lekker,,add more ciders to e drinks menu,, very clean rooms,,
Pablo is familiar in name and food as its the relocated Pablo Eggs-go-bar from Old Melville.The service is great, the food is great though the new setting in the Mint hotel overlooking Katherine Street in Ssndton does let it down a bit. It used to be warm and vibey and a bit quirky. Now its just vibey.We were there for brunch and very happy with the good fare and good service.
Good food and good location
Best breakfast... And such a nice venue. Feels like youre in Cape Town.
We had a great time. Good is reasonable priced and delicious. Vegan and vegetarian menu is tapas. The smashed avo on toast breakfast is amazing! They have wifi and theres parking available at the back of the hotel. Really enjoyed it, definitely coming back. Seating is outside, spaced tables, santiser available.
Delicious pizza but dough base needs to be less chewy!
Loved the setting & ambiance of the restaurant
Pablo is such a vibe! Come for brunch, stay for sundowners. This is what happened to me. Great food, great drinks, great time!
Flies, flies, flies. Baby potatoes were overly crisp, almost burnt. Schnitzel was dry and tasteless if you ask for even an extra serviette from a waiter who is not serving your table you will be ignored. Had to wait awhile for our bill. Music was too loud for the afternoon. Red velvet cake was good but wouldnt drizzle a red coulis on it.
Had a great experience and the food was amazing
Chilled, out eggy breakfast
Lovely food and great service.
For was delicious as usual 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dope vibe
The environment is great. The menu has too much of tomato based meals and needs more variety.
Best breakfast options to enjoy, such a viby restaurant,Food was absolutely delicious but service was mediocre similar to Mint Hotel
Great restaurant, we enjoyed the food tremendously and the ambiance was GREAT. Best coffee I have had in a long time!
I was a bit nervous because we used to visit the Melville location and I wasnt sure what to expect from Sandton. The view onto the street isnt particularly inspiring but the set up looking onto the pool is actually an improvement on Melville. Most importantly, the food is still absolutely excellent. The Yemini flatbread alone was worth the longer drive. Ive never been a fan of their non-alcoholic drink options, and so it remains. But I still think 5 stars is deserved because of the unique range of breakfast choices, which are all first class. Will definitely be back ASAP, especially because the lunch menu also looks very appetising indeed.
The best breakfast Ive had! Great location and very well finished interior. Strongly recommended!
I had a good time with my family, we enjoyed the food and music, best customerservice too.
Great food, great drinks and great vibe.The pita and dips are 😍😍Also, they do a great Aperol
Very warm with lovely menu on their list
Amazing food. Best brunch place
