The Shortmarket Club finds a bold new home at The Greenhouse
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.

I'm a picky eater & eat barely any of the ‘awful' food at all-inclusive hotels – trolls slam me as ‘disrespectful'
A WOMAN has been slammed as "disrespectful" for turning her nose up at the "weird" dishes on offer at an all inclusive hotel. Simone Wilko, a self-confessed picky eater, recently went on holiday to Cyprus, and was not impressed by the food that was on offer. 2 2 Taking to TikTok, the influencer showed off the diverse array of food in the restaurant at her hotel, stating that there was "so much to choose from, but at the same time there wasn't." Showing viewers a plate of delicious looking stuffed courgettes with vegetables, she said: "I understand I'm in a different country, but what on earth are these foods? "They look absolutely awful." Showing the camera a dish of traditional black eye beans with Swiss chards, she then said: "I couldn't think of anything worse." Simone then spotted a pizza and got excited as she thought it was margherita, but after reading that the label said Quatro Formaggi (four cheese) she decided to give it a miss. The holidaymaker then decided to put some plain bread on her plate, along with a portion of chips. "If these had herbs on, I wouldn't have got them", she admitted. "I just don't like the taste of seasoning." She then placed some ribs on her plate, and a small bit of pork from a stir fry, making sure to avoid the veg as she "hates spring onions". However, she said that the pork was "horrible" anyway, as it had seasoning on it. 10 Expert Tips for Managing Picky Eaters Simone then moved on to dessert, but unfortunately said that she also found her chocolate mousse "disgusting". Her video, posted under the username (@s33immm) has quickly gone viral, racking up 772,000 views on the video sharing platform. TikTok users raced to the video's comments section to share their thoughts, with many unimpressed by Simone's attitude to the cuisine. One person said: "Picky is fine, but insulting other countries' foods is not OK." A second person said: "Fellow lowkey picky eater here but there's a difference between you and me. "I don't go around being disrespectful about food."

David Beckham hugs Harper and Victoria on superyacht amid stormy family feud
For months, rumours have rumbled of a bitter split within the Beckham family - but proud dad David looked happy as a clam as he hugged his daughter and wife on a luxury holiday David Beckham looked in good spirits on the high seas as he hugged his daughter and wife during a trip to St Tropez. The 50-year-old sporting legend joined wife Victoria, 51, and daughter Harper Seven, 14, on the deck of a luxury yacht. The sport star looked casual in a sand coloured cap and dark t-shirt - and with a smile stretched across his face. Victoria pouted alongside her husband with her hair loose around her shoulders. While teenage daughter Harper looked pretty in a pink as she wrapped up in a casual hooded top. The trio were spied on the deck of the boat lined up for a photograph together. The famous family are known for heading to the south of France to enjoy a summer break year after year. And they were joined by second son, Romeo, 22 - who reportedly spent the afternoon zipping around the sea on a jet ski. Father, daughter and wife posed and smiled for the cameras as their boat - worth a reported £16 million - bobbed gently on the Mediterranean waters. The Daily Mail shared the sun-soaked snaps which made the family look like they had not a care in the world while enjoying the picturesque French weather. The calm image is in contrast to the stormy headlines that have haunted the Beckham family in recent months. A feud is said to have erupted between the family and eldest son Brookyln - who is married to American Billionaire heiress Nicola Peltz. Fans became concerned for the Beckhams after they noticed Brooklyn and his wife snubbed David during his 50th birthday celebrations in May. In subsequent months, there have been reports that Brooklyn and Nicola have clashed with his younger brothers - while other reports have suggested the family have been at odds since Nicola and her husband got married in 2022. There have also been shady comments and social media quips that have left fans reading into the smallest details for evidence of a feud. On Saturday, social media posts featuring Romeo and his younger sister Harper hinted they were glad to be in the sun and away from feud-fuelled headlines. The duo were spotted heading out for dinner in St Tropez and both cut casual appearances. Romeo was pictured wearing a red baseball cap, teamed with a round neck white sweater. Meanwhile Harper opted for a white hoodie with the word "Seven" emblazoned across the front of it. Both looked in high spirits as they enjoyed an evening out with their parents. While Vicky, Dave and their kids have been lapping up the sun in France, estranged son Brooklyn has been spotted in the UK - far from his Hollywood home. The couple took a leisurely stroll through a picturesque garden where they were spied by fans. Nicola took a candid photo of her husband by a quaint garden well, while they both opted for casual outfits for their trip. One sweet photo shows Brooklyn kissing Nicola as they pose in front of a mirror. Fans noted, however, that the couple enjoyed time in the UK while the rest of the Beckham family were abroad - raising speculation they may have coordinated their trip to avoid a run in.

Luxury fragrance brand launches £62 ‘Aperol spritz' perfume that smells like summer weekends
If you've been looking for the perfect summer scent, you're in luck as Maison Margiela's REPLICA has launched a new 'Aperol spritz' fragrance that's been hailed as 'summer in a bottle' With balmy evenings, blue skies, and sunshine-filled mornings, summer is (hopefully) here to stay. And now that the warm weather is mostly settling in, there's no better time to treat yourself to a new scent. So if you're on the hunt for a new fragrance to match your mood, Maison Margiela's REPLICA has just launched what might be its most summery scent yet. The French luxury fashion house introduced its first fragrance, Untitled, in 2010, and has since built a cult following with its genderless perfumes and home scents. By 2012, the iconic REPLICA line was born, designed to capture nostalgic moments and feelings through scent. From By the Fireplace to Lazy Sunday Morning, each fragrance is intended to reproduce a familiar scent. And now, Never Ending Summer is here with that golden hour, Aperol-sipping, Italian coastline vibe. With spicy citrus notes and a gorgeous sunset orange shade, this could easily become your new favourite scent of the season. The top notes include spritz accord, bitter orange, and pepper duet, with the base notes of patchouli, cedarwood, and vetiver bringing an earth element to the Mediterranean citrus smells. The overwhelming reviews all agreed that this scent is 'summer in a bottle' or the 'perfect summer scent'. One shopper praised: "Summer in a bottle. Maison Margiela's Never Ending Summer Eau de Toilette is sunshine in scent form! It opens with a burst of citrus and warm, sun-kissed notes that instantly lift my mood. Light, fresh, and effortless, it lingers beautifully without being overpowering. It truly captures that carefree, golden-hour vibe. Perfect for daily wear or a summer getaway, this fragrance feels like a warm embrace from a perfect day. A second added: "So summery. I purchased this a gift for a friend who was spending her honeymoon in the Amalfi Coast. She wears it all the time now and it smells so good on her. It is very citrusy and fresh - perfect for summer and my friend says it reminds her so much of being on the Amalfi Coast." However, a couple did note that the lasting power is not as long as it should be for the price. A reviewer said: "Summer in a bottle but doesn't last long enough. I got to try this in store today. It's such a refreshing citrus scent, perfectly balanced not too sweet nor sharp or sour. My only complaint is that it didn't last, and I could hardly smell the zesty notes on my jacket after two hours; it just left with a faint mossy scent. If you're looking to test out the Replica fragrance before purchasing, the Maison Margiela Replica Memory Box is £36 and allows you to sample 10 different mini fragrances. While the Kayali Discovery Sampler Set is currently £18.65 at Beauty Bay.
