Miami Vibe At The Getty Northriding

February 6, 2019

It’s a daiquiri bar, its gourmet hotdogs, it’s all day breakfast, it’s flavour-infused tequila and the hottest entertainment in Johannesburg – it’s The Getty!

When you arrive at The Getty you know you are going to have a good time. The restaurant is an eclectic mix of Miami art deco and beach hut inspired décor.

The ambience is very chilled and relaxed, with friendly, accommodating staff and management. On ordering our first cocktails, they were accompanied with a bowl of freshly-popped popcorn. Happy hour, from 6pm to 8pm, saw us enjoy discounted, beers, ciders and wine.

GREAT GRUB AT THE GETTY

Now for the grub… To start, the jalapeño rissoles served with cheese sauce were a spicy delight. The Getty has awesome daily food specials and we happened to stop by on a Friday night when all pizzas are on special for R69.

Hubby tucked into a Four Seasons and I opted for a Prego Rump Steak Roll! Both were exceptionally good!

SENSATIONAL ENTERTAINMENT

Entertainment at the Getty is top-notch with the likes of Friday Karaoke nights and monthly comedy and muso evenings, showcasing some excellent local talent.

A celebration at The Getty is hassle-free and inexpensive as they do not charge for venue hire and arrange everything your special event requires, just for you.

To experience an exciting escape to a cosmopolitan Floridian food fusion, blended with the eclectic drink culture of the Caribbean, Bahamas and Mexico, get to The Getty.

Find them at the Northriding Square Centre, in Northriding, Johannesburg, or call 011 704 1183 or email events@thegetty.co.za.

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation? Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose.

Expensive is not always better. Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday. They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice. A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday.

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance. Of these, service is the most important.

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion. However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review. We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience? The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table.

Well that’s our theory anyway. It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced. However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience. In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe. It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
