Tucked away in leafy Houghton, something quietly magical is bubbling up this August, and it’s not just the halloumi on the grill. The Monthly Supper Club is setting the table for a first-of-its-kind dining journey in Joburg, and it all begins with a taste of Cyprus.

On Friday, 8 August 2025, at 6 pm sharp, a group of food-loving Joburgers will gather around one long communal table at 9 Houghton Drive to eat, laugh, and explore the flavours of the Mediterranean. The concept? One country, one night, one unforgettable meal.

Culinary Adventures Without a Boarding Pass

Forget flights and visas. This supper club brings the world to your plate. Every month, a new country is spotlighted, from the spice-laden markets of Morocco to the coastal kitchens of Japan. But the debut evening belongs to Cyprus: a Mediterranean gem known for its olive oil-soaked, sun-drenched dishes.

Expect everything from grilled meats and fresh herbs to tangy cheeses and sweet treats kissed with orange blossom. At just R280 per person, it’s a budget-friendly bite of the Mediterranean, right here in Jozi.

More Than a Meal

What sets this supper club apart isn’t just what’s on the menu; it’s who’s at the table. With a “come solo or with a plus-one” vibe, everyone is seated together. It’s about real connection, not awkward small talk. Strangers become seatmates; seatmates become dinner companions.

For a city often known for its hustle, this is a breath of fresh air, a chance to pause, savour, and socialise over good food.

How to Book

There’s already buzz, with over 20 people showing interest before the event even kicks off. Seating is limited, so bookings are essential.

Local Flavour, Global Vision

Johannesburg’s food scene has always been diverse, but this new supper club offers something deeper. It’s not just a themed dinner; it’s an invitation to step into someone else’s culture, one forkful at a time.

In a city as rich in stories as Joburg, the Monthly Supper Club is fast becoming the kind of place where stories, and friendships, are served alongside the mains.
