Taste Tour: Midrand’s Best Eats

Beverley Wilcock / April 23, 2026

As the name suggests, Midrand is centrally located, but the selection of restaurants and local cuisine is as varied as South Africa itself. Take the taste tour with us through Midrand’s best eats and learn where to find the best eats in Midrand.

CowFish

The age-old question of “beef or chicken”? It is not necessary at CowFish. Because at CowFish you don’t necessarily need to choose anymore. You can have both, and why not throw in a side of sushi or seafood, and wash it all down with a cocktail? CowFish has combined the best from all over the world into one menu: American-style burgers, Japanese sushi, steaks fresh from the grill, and so much more. And, if you’re not in the mood to eat out, you can enjoy their menu options at home too (as takeaways). Make sure to get your fill next time you’re in Midrand.

Kream Mall of Africa

Let’s face it, Mall of Africa is a labyrinth of shops and corridors. One is bound to get lost in there, and if this happens, you may just find yourself drawn in by Kream. The stunning art on display will draw you in, and the menu items will keep you there. Have a special occasion coming up, or need to score some brownie points?


No problem, Kream can make it even more special for you. Get some bubbly on the table, maybe even some rose petals, or even just select one of the three set menus and take the stress out of choosing what to eat. Kream Mall of Africa should definitely be top of your list for that next special night out or just a solo date if you please. Make sure you drop by next time you’re in Mall of Africa.

Fireroom

While in Mall of Africa, you may also come across Fireroom. Looking for some good Wagyu beef? At Fireroom, you can choose between a Wagyu rib eye, T-bone, or burger. If sushi is more your thing, how about ordering some signature Fireroom sushi and watching it get flamed at your table? Yip, you read that correctly.


Fireroom serves sushi on fire. Choose between Golden Flaming Roses, Fire Rolls, or maybe you prefer your Prawn Rolls on fire? Oh, and of course, no South African menu is complete without a braai – a Sushi Braai that is. Fireroom has this and so much more for you to choose from. Be sure to book your table today.
