This small lifestyle and shoppi.jpgng center in the northern suburbs is probably my favorite hangout spot in Johannesburg.

The Design Quarter offers trendy restaurants with mouthwatering menus and great ambience around a water fountain in the pi.jpgazza.

Restaurants include: Tribes, Kitchen Bar, Primi Piatti, Fish & Wine co.

• Tribes offer african cuisine on their menu.
• Kitchen bar offers great food (with overpriced prices) and upstairs bar counters.
• Primi Piatti is part of a franchise and offers great value for money.
• Woolworths and Mr Price Home also has small coffee shops open during the day.
