A Bold New Centrepiece at Montecasino

In a city renowned for its vibrant food scene, Paradiso Johannesburg arrives with grand ambition. Located within Montecasino, this immersive restaurant promises more than just a meal – it delivers a full sensory experience. With dramatic double-volume interiors, mood-lit lounges, wraparound balconies, and an electric atmosphere, Paradiso is less a restaurant and more a stage where flavour and feeling collide.

Every corner has a purpose. Whether you’re sipping a cocktail in a private VIP lounge or enjoying sushi on the terrace as the DJs warm up, there’s a sense that you’re not just out – you’re in it. In the vibe. In the moment.

The Food: Theatre You Can Taste

Paradiso calls itself “a journey of the senses,” and its kitchen backs that up. The menu reads like a greatest hits album of global influences with a distinctly South African soul.

Tapas to share: Wagyu potstickers with kimchi soy dipping sauce and spicy Cape Malay Kingklip bites set the tone for shared indulgence.

Hearty mains: The Pulled Beef Pappardelle, slow-cooked for eight hours, feels like a warm hug for your taste buds. For something flashier, try the Earth & Ocean – a grilled rib-eye and prawn combo.

Signature sushi: Flame-touched with theatrics – one rainbow roll is doused in vodka-infused Teriyaki and flambéed tableside.

Decadent desserts: Peppermint crisp tiramisu and salted caramel cheesecake served with vanilla bean ice cream steal the show.

Cocktails Worth Dressing Up For

At Paradiso, cocktails aren’t just drinks – they’re centrepieces. From lavender-hued gin concoctions to the Paradiso Cosmo kissed with orange bitters, the bar bursts with invention.

The Smoked Ol’ Fashioned arrives in a glass bell of smoke.
The Peachy Lemonade makes you feel like it’s summer all year long.
The Tales of Mist stirs up litchi, cloudy apple, cucumber, and Absolut – light, elegant, and perfect for golden hour.

Classics like daiquiris, martinis, and margaritas are elevated with flair – expect ice spheres, flaming pours, and plenty of Instagrammable moments.

The Vibe: Dinner Meets Spectacle

More than food or cocktails, it’s the energy that makes Paradiso unforgettable. With sultry music, statement lighting, and stylish locals filling every corner, it feels like a fashion-forward dinner party you want to stay at until last rounds are called.

This isn’t a quiet date-night spot – it’s for celebrating, connecting, laughing out loud, and ordering that extra bottle of bubbly just because. Paradiso proves Johannesburg doesn’t just know how to eat well – it knows how to live loudly.

The Verdict? Paradise Found

Paradiso Johannesburg isn’t just another trendy restaurant. It’s a new chapter for Montecasino – one where food, sound, design, and soul all speak to each other. It’s a place for first dates, big nights out, post-payday indulgences, and every bold, blessed, blazing moment in between.

Whether you’re in it for the cocktails, the food, the vibes – or all three – make the booking. Dress up. Show up. Let Paradiso show you what “theater of dining” really means.
