This trendy, cosmopolitan restaurant has a reputation that precedes it. Since it first opened in the late 1990s, The Singing Fig has become a must in Johannesburg's restaurant circuit, and the rave reviews it still garners show no sign of dissipating. The committed clientele continue to flock through their doors to sample The Singing Fig's faithful and more experimental renderings of French Provencal dishes. The electric buzz inside makes The Singing Fig more ideal for a night out with friends or family than perhaps a romantic meal for two. Look to the walls for the daily updated menu, which usually includes dishes as diverse as oxtail cooked in whiskey, roast line fish in orange and almond sauce, and prawn salad with coconut milk and chilli-ginger dressing. Helpings are generous so be prepared and forewarned.
