Leafy Greens in Muldersdrift, only 30-40 minutes away from Johannesburg, is a partially raw food, vegan café on an organic farm.

It’s got a menu crafted from what is available in the garden, to ensure that food is sustainable with the smallest carbon footprint possible. The café shares its space with well- known Italian restaurant and wedding venue, Casalinga, within which you can easily stroll around after your meal. I see it as somewhat of a destination restaurant, because the beautiful country setting combined with a bit of a dirt road drive makes for a nice afternoon out, especially on a Saturday, when you can tuck into the buffet and have as much as you’d like for R120. Expect exciting dishes like spinach croquettes, falafels, raw pizza, rice paper rolls and every type of salad under the sun.

If you’d prefer to go when it’s a bit quieter, breakfasts are always great. Try the home-baked sourdough toast with homemade jams and raw nut butters (R35), or the organic oats – with homemade raw almond milk or non-GM soy milk with raisins, cinnamon and raw honey or agave (R35).
