Sophisticated and relaxed at The ROCK, Kyalami

The ROCK Kyalami restaurant, Johannesburg

The ROCK, Kyalami, Johannesburg

The new Kyalami Corner shopping centre, which opened in April 2017, correctly responds to the retail, lifestyle and social requirements and aspirations of the Kyalami neighbourhood and surrounds. With great shopping and impressive restaurants, The ROCK is in a lively, vibey centre with so much to offer.

Kyalami has grown in leaps and bounds, once known only for the iconic racetrack and equestrian holdings in less than three years it has become the area to ‘live, work and play’ in Gauteng. As a result of the rapid development taking place in this area, the residential property market continues to thrive.

For a Friday family night dinner, my hubby, 6-year-old son and I ventured out to Kyalami to try the Rock, Diner. Recently I had experienced their sister restaurant in Fourways and wanted to see how her sibling compared.

What a lovely dinner we had. The ROCK, Kyalami, is just as beautifully contemporary as the other, and I was once again immediately welcomed on entering. Autumn saw a chill in the air, and they had all the glass flame patio heaters out in force which created a warm ambience.

What’s on the menu at The ROCK, Kyalami?

The menu is pretty much the same as the Fourways branch, with a symphony of choice on offer. Steaks, burgers, ribs, sushi, seafood, pasta and salads. You really are spoiled for choice here. I think that’s one of the reasons I love it so much.

My son chose the crumbed chicken wings washed down with a lime milkshake (he said it was the best milkshake he’d ever had – he certainly wolfed it). Dad and I couldn’t help but sample a wing (or two), and they were simply delicious. I went with my usual carnivore choice – a 250g sirloin and onion rings. The steak melted in my mouth, and the onion rings were perfectly prepared. Hubby chose the Salmon Teriyaki, seared Norwegian salmon fillet, topped with a homemade teriyaki sauce and chopped fennel bulbs and dried chilli flakes.

I have never seen my husband in food heaven before, he enjoyed it so much, that he even dreamt about it that night (no word of a lie).

The entire team at The Rock, Kyalami make sure you are well looked after, and they know customer service, exceptionally well. It really is a super experience, and I urge you to try it soon.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

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!
