The gatekeepers are going to come at me for this one, but the best bakery in South Africa might just be hiding in the south of Joburg.
This is Portugal Bakery, a Portuguese bakery run by a Greek family, quietly doing its thing for three decades. In a neighbourhood with such a rich Portuguese food history, this is a very Joburg story.
And don’t be fooled: this is a serious operation. I won’t name names, but I know firsthand that some of Joburg’s top restaurants get their bread here. You’ve probably eaten it without even knowing.
The pepper steak pie with rich gravy and golden, flaky pastry. The rissoles, those little crumbed pockets of savoury goodness. And, of course, the pastéis de nata, with crisp pastry, creamy custard and beautifully blistered tops.
Everything I ate came to R120. Honestly, ten out of ten.
So happy to see a deserving institution like this still going strong. Do you know this place? And if this isn’t the best bakery in South Africa, tell me where I’m going next.
Portugal Bakery & Confectionery
245 Johannesburg Road, La Rochelle, Johannesburg South, alongside Rosettenville.

Apparently my sweatshirt also wanted a taste.
When you spend this much time around food, stains are an occupational hazard. Tomato sauce on my favourite sweatshirt? Into a coloured wash with my normal liquid detergent and Vanish Pink Liquid, added together in the washing-machine drawer. No pre-treatment.
No soaking. Just a quick wash, and back for seconds.

Did you miss out?
Diversitas 2026 is bringing together nine countries for an afternoon of music, food, culture and crafts. It’s the sixth time the festival has been held, organised in partnership with my friend Marion Kate from Global Diplomacy.
With food largely prepared by the embassies, you know you’re in for something special.
Look at the queue for Peru! Someone must have told everyone they were serving ceviche. Chile was showing off its world-famous wines, while Uruguay had its delicious, refreshing mate. Spain served up what might be the best gazpacho I’ve ever tasted. Colombia brought empanadas, arepas and, of course, coffee. The Dominican Republic had rum and beautiful soul food. Brazil was sharing information about its language courses, and I finished off with something sweet from Argentina.
There’s so much to taste, see and discover. If you missed this one, comment DIVERSITAS and I’ll make sure you hear about the next one.
501 Breed St, Montana Tuine, Pretoria, 0159 (corner of Sefako Makgatho Drive and Breed Street) [1, 2]
🗓️ Saturday, 7 November
⏰ 12:00–16:00
🎟️ Free entry. All welcome.

People like Winnie remind me why I’m still backing South Africa 🇿🇦❤️
From teaching herself to bake during the pandemic to creating beautiful cakes for life’s biggest celebrations, she’s building something special with Winnie Delicacies in Protea Glen, Soweto.
Visiting her and hearing what the Kasipreneur Impact Project has meant to her made me incredibly proud to be part of this journey with the African Management Institute.
And her baking? You need to taste it! 🎂
Got a birthday, wedding or celebration coming up? Make Winnie your baker on speed dial 👇

A look inside One&Only Cape Town, from island rooms and Table Mountain views to a meal at ROOI that genuinely blew my socks off.
Feeling very lucky to have experienced this. Which South African hotel should I explore next?

JOBURG FOODIES! Some places do more than feed a neighbourhood. They become part of its story.
Once part of the ritual of a night out at the nearby Avalon cinema, the little milk bar has outlived the picture houses that once drew crowds to the area and remains filled with family history, old photographs and an impressive collection of Coca-Cola memorabilia.
And then there’s the food. From classic steak, cheese and chips to the seriously stacked Kentucky Special, this is one Joburg institution where the history comes with a damn good toasted sandwich.
Discover the story behind one of Fordsburg’s longstanding neighbourhood favourites via the link in bio.

One of the best things about being South African is living in a country with so many different beautiful cultures, religions and ways of life. With Diwali just around the corner, I joined friends from our Indian community to learn more about the festivities, ceremonies and food. 🪔

When was the last time you found yourself staring at a piece of meat, seriously questioning how you were going to fit it in? Now, I’ve had myself stretched a few times, but this was a first.
Forget what you think you know about a bunny chow, typically a quarter loaf of hollowed-out white bread. This is a lamb shank bunny chow, which is exclusively available at Amrt Café in Linden, Johannesburg.
Here’s what we’re working with. A loaf of white bread. This structure, known as a bus, goes for R280 for half and R550 for full. Inside: lamb shank on the bone, potatoes, lamb chops, lamb kebabs, lamb sausages, and a tomato chutney or curry gravy. You can also get the spice levels turned to your satisfaction.
The joint does plenty of other classics. Chicken, cheese and polony sandwiches, mutton and beans bunnies, and plenty more. But here’s what I want to know in the comments: do you think you could fit this bunny in, and are you keen to give it a try?
Let me know, and if you’re keen to stuff yourself at Amrt, I’ve left all the details in the caption.

The journey of uncovering South African bread based food stories with Super soft continues
A quarter loaf. A generous helping of curry. Generations of South African history.
From early bean bunnies to mutton, chicken and prawns, we’re exploring the story of Durban’s bunny chow with my friends at SuperSoft, the best thing since sliced bread.
Who makes your favourite bunny, and which food’s history should we explore next?

The secret to the perfect Paneer Curry this Diwali? Well, you could ask Aunty… or you could ask PAKCO!
I’m Nick Hamman, and I’ve been learning a thing or two about the incredible flavours, traditions and family recipes that make Diwali so special in South Africa.
And this Paneer Curry is an absolute winner! Soft, beautiful chunks of paneer swimming in a rich, fragrant, spicy tomato gravy, made with a little help from PAKCO Curry Paste and Curried Chilli Paste. Get yourself some fresh roti and you’re in heaven!
Because the best food isn’t just about what goes into the pot. It’s about the people you share it with.
And there’s another reason to get cooking!
