The Morning After - Breakfast
Our crazy one-night trip flying up to Johannesburg, Gauteng, to see the exciting Irish tap-dancing extravaganza Lord of the Dance in Pretoria, ended on a morning-after spoil of a full breakfast, which was included in our accommodation. We could order from their scrumptious a la carte breakfast menu and also had the choice of helping ourselves to the buffet table laden with delicious continental breakfast fare: yogurts, cereals, cold cuts, cheeses, croissants, and other pastries, crumpets, sliced fresh fruit, and freshly squeezed fruit juices.
We started with a good cappuccino while deciding what to order.
An attractive fireplace sits in the centre of the cosy indoor dining area with comfy chairs, adding warmth to a slightly chilly morning.
The small bar for those needing something a tipple or two, and a selection of good wines to choose from for leisurely brunches, lunches, or for cosy dinners.
Some in our party chose a hearty traditional English breakfast of bacon, sausages with caramelised onions, hash browns, fried mushrooms, grilled tomatoes drizzled with basil pesto, perfectly cooked sunny-side eggs, and toast.
Something I nearly chose, which my friend had, was Brioche French toast topped with blueberries, strawberries, caramelised banana, honeycomb, ginger crumble, and maple syrup, served with mascarpone creme; pure indulgence!
Diving into my Egg Benedict - eggs perfectly done and served on an English muffin (in Africa), sautéed spinach, cherry tomatoes, smoked salmon, poached eggs, and hollandaise sauce.
How is that for a bill - all zeros after the ZAR, all thanks to a Hive friend's Great Getaway Gift! Thank you @edenmichelle❤️
Special times are created when you surround yourself with good company, good food, and the right venue! Need not be a fancy venue; it could even be right at home!
Ours started at home with a load of spoils. Firstly, my brother arranged the chauffeur pick-up, flights, fabulous accommodation thanks to my Hive friend, and a delicious dinner at a vibey Italian Grill and Bar, the exhilarating Irish dance show, ending with a scrumptious breakfast the morning after.
We were exhausted after a late night and walking what felt like a never-ending 'journey' to get to our boarding gates, but we were all in high spirits after a weekend filled with good food, thrills, and laughter; special times creating lasting memories!

Wow this is something very perfect, the place looks magnificent Johannest burg is the right choice for you to rest and enjoy delicious food with your friends. I was surprised at the last slide when you showed the bill. It's so nice of you to give such a perfect gift. I visited your previous post and found out that you were traveling for a show you wanted to see. Have a great time for you and your family.
It was a very special weekend, we had so much fun, very blessed to have received such a nice gift.
I hope you're keeping well @nurfay, I must check what deliciousness you've been making in the kitchen🤗
Sounds like you had a most wonderful trip. That breakfast looks awesome! What a way to top off a very good time.
Oh it was an awesome weekend, and the best way to top it off. The food was absolutely yummy!
I would have gone for the brioche, just be the sound of it is right up my street, and it looks so yummy
I almost did, it looked so good, but thought I'd be good and choose a savoury option!
Antes de el desayuno siempre provoca un buen café, delicioso plato.
Saludos
Thank you so much @sirenahippie and @foodiesunite!
Con gusto probaria uno de sus platillos
I don’t think I’ve ever seen French toast with honeycomb and ginger crumble before, that’s wild!
A breakfast full of happiness, of course 0 Zar is more fun 😆
A night of Irish tap-dancing followed by a feast? That’s how you do Johannesburg in style! Hope you have a lovely week ahead dear!
Thank you @gabrielatravels, it was fabulous 👌
Everyone is crazy over good food and good company; my eyes are feasting for the food 🩷
Hey @lizelle it is not a full english without baked beans!!!!! LOL, does look damn good though, glad you enjoyed the show, I remember seeing it when Flatterly was the lead dancer it was mesmerising
Oh, the baked beans of course! My sister-in-law must have asked for mushrooms instead of the beans?
I don't think anyone else has had the energy that Flatley had; he was amazing! Mesmerizing is very apt, brilliant show!
yes indeed it was I was worn out just watching! I think we shall forgive Sis in law the kindness of our hearts and not scold her on this occasion
The foods looks perfect and yummy. The place also was stunning and very good place to dine.
Good day! I am sure that you will sleep well and soundly, because your day ended full of joy.
That buffet is so pretty honestly. I'd sit down for a loooong holiday breakfast, for sure. <3 I'm really glad you had such a nice time.
Always nice doing fun stuff with my favourite people, it was short but really special!
The buffet table looked very inviting indeed😉
Nice they are many different kind of foods in a restaurant they look tasty and yummy.
A perfect place for a perfect holiday. I'm glad you enjoyed your trip. This place looks beautiful and the dishes look delicious.
Breakfast looks scrumptious. Glad you enjoyed the stay at the Hotel.
