The Greenhouse, already known for its stylish supper club vibe, has just upped the ante. One of Cape Town’s most iconic restaurants, The Shortmarket Club, has officially taken up residence at this immersive dining destination, and Joburg foodies are in for a treat.
This high-profile culinary collaboration merges the signature flair of The Shortmarket Club with The Greenhouse’s high-energy setting, marking a fresh chapter for fine dining in Johannesburg. Think elevated eats, seductive cocktails, and a lively atmosphere where dinner effortlessly melts into late-night dancing.
Behind the new menu is Chef Siya Mlaba, whose culinary artistry takes diners on a flavour-filled journey through Mediterranean, French, and Asian influences. Whether you’re craving flame-grilled lamb chops, creamy chicken pasta, or a bold 950g T-bone steak with peppercorn sauce, each dish balances luxury with approachability. Seafood lovers are also well looked after, with prawns in bisque and buttery truffle risotto making a strong case for indulgence.
Start your night with vibrant small plates like seared sesame-crusted tuna, burrata with basil pesto, and crispy halloumi drizzled with hot honey. Vegetarians can dive into grilled cauliflower or a roasted pepper hummus platter, while dessert fans should save space for the blueberry crème brûlée or the decadent chocolate fondant.
Of course, no visit is complete without sipping on one of The Greenhouse’s signature cocktails, from the Watermelon Fix to the Berry Deluxe, Daytime Dreaming and the Henny Pot; these drinks bring as much personality as the venue itself.
Open Thursday to Saturday from 4 pm until late, The Greenhouse is now the go-to for sundowners, date nights, and high-energy evenings. Please note: it’s strictly no under-21s for ladies and no under-23s for guys.
Created by the trio behind Johannesburg’s most buzzworthy venues, and with new concept Ocaso (a Mexican collab with Corona), this team continues to reshape the local dining scene, one unforgettable night at a time.
