Parys is one of favourite places to go have brunch at on a Sunday. It’s a quick drive and a great excuse to get out of town for a bit. Here’s a list of our top picks to grab mimosas and buffets at. 

Die Koffiekan

Old school family food. That is what you can expect from Die Koffiekan. Expect big, fat farm-style brunches served quick and tasty. The coffee is the closest we’ve come to experiencing that elusive perfect cup of java that our friend, Denis Vaden, is always going on about. The brunch selection is classic South African with everything from pap and pancakes to everything in between.

EnStyle

Parys is known as the artsy little town to the south-west of Joburg. EnStyle has taken advantage by combining an art gallery with a coffee shop. Now you can get the best of Parys at one little shop – brunch and brush strokes… yeah.  There is also a craft shop attached to the restaurant where you can buy weird and wonderful handmade items to take home and extend the memories.

O’s Restaurant 

With a brunch menu as long as your arm, O’s Restaurant is the place to come hungry and leave stuffed. The restaurant is situated right next to the river. When dining outside you can enjoy the shade from the trees and the background sounds created by nature. Brunch includes everything from stuffed mushrooms to a Karoo breakfast which is comprised of lamb chops, slap pap, shishebo and 2 fried eggs.

Plumtree

Well, head to the Plumtree and taste some of the best grub around. From chicken and mushroom to classic cottage, they offer the whole bang shoot. Another brilliant choice would be the spinach and mushroom pancakes, so make sure you pull in…

Hoi Polloi

Whether it is quail and bacon or lamb cutlets for brunch, Hoi Polloi is one of those eateries in Parys you simply must visit.
