A bistro, lounge, and cocktail kitchen in one, BLACK seamlessly combines culinary sophistication with unforgettable vibes, making it the go-to destination for Joburg’s discerning professionals, socialites, and tastemakers.
Perfectly located near the Sandton highway, BLACK is more than just a restaurant; it’s a lifestyle destination. Whether you’re stepping out for a weekday lunch meeting, after-work drinks, or a night on the dance floor, BLACK offers something for everyone.
The versatile menu is a true hero, with standout favourites like Mogodu Mondays, irresistible sushi and meat platters, and signature mains crafted to delight foodies and casual diners alike. Each plate is a feast for both the eyes and taste buds, guaranteed to have guests reaching for their phones before the first bite.
With its sleek, photo-worthy interiors, BLACK has quickly become a hub for food lovers and lifestyle seekers seeking more than just a meal. The venue regularly curates themed events from karaoke nights and DJ sets to intimate culinary experiences, positioning itself as both a dining destination and cultural hotspot.
Recently, BLACK hosted the Jameson Summer Table, an exclusive media experience that showcased the brand’s flair for immersive dining. Guests indulged in a three-course meal infused with Jameson Original, Triple Triple, and Select Reserve, followed by a guided whiskey tasting and a cocktail masterclass where attendees crafted their own signature drinks. The event was a celebration of craftsmanship, flavour, and connection values at the heart of BLACK’s identity.
“BLACK is about indulgence, but also about belonging,” says Robby Da Paixao, Owner of BLACK Lounge. “We’ve created a space that’s equal parts sophistication and soul — a place where Joburgers can come to eat, connect, and celebrate life.”
Building on this momentum, BLACK will celebrate Champagne Day on 24 October 2025, hosting an exclusive evening of bubbles, bites, and beats. The event promises an unforgettable night filled with sensory experiences, pairing premium champagnes with curated dishes and live entertainment, a toast to the finer things in life, the BLACK way.
This season, BLACK also invites guests to discover their new menu launch: Flavours of a New Season, a curated pairing of signature dishes and cocktails. These pairings will spotlight BLACK’s culinary innovation while introducing Joburg’s food lovers to a one-of-a-kind tasting experience that celebrates flavour in every form.
