2. AURUM COOKS @ HOME

Locals didn’t get much time to book a table at Aurum — the fine dining destination in Sandton’s sparkling new high-rise — before lockdown hit. Luckily you still have the chance for a taste of what chef Darren O’Donovan has to offer.

Aurum Cooks @ Home offers a pared-down menu, but with no shortage of choice of snacks, starters, salads, sides, mains and desserts. There’s also pizza from the Octo Bar; but perhaps more interesting is the Aurum home picnic, with a cornucopia of spreads, breads, preserves and charcuterie to choose from. It’s as good a reason as any to soak up some socially distanced winter sunshine. — Richard Holmes via the Financial Mail.

5. KOLONAKI

Kolonaki restaurant in Joburg’s trendy 4th Avenue Parkhurst strip has been a Wanted favourite since it opened in 2018. This chic little spot is the quintessential embodiment of Greece — it’s got the island looks, the vibe and the delicious kouzina (think spanakopita, souvlaki and various dips and pita).

While the luxury of knocking back a few glasses of rosé under its bamboo pergola for a couple of hours is out of the question, you will be pleased to know that the restaurant is now open for take-aways during level 3 of lockdown.

In a heartfelt message to its patrons, Kolonaki said, “We would love to see you all back with us soon. Until then we hope you all stay safe. We look forward to you letting us do the cooking for you.” — Kath Kesselaar
