Old favourite. No matter how busy they are, they always get the service right. Good sized portions for mains. MASSIVE sized portions of cake for desert (and such a selection of delicious varieties), amongst other choices. Reasonably priced for Sandton City. Cleanest bathrooms in the shopping centre BTW. Walnut Grove has been in existence as long as I can remember. The decor and menu has evolved with the times. Highly recommended for a shopping break.

Walnut Grove is located in Sandton City Shopping Centre, Corner of Sandton Drive & Alice Lane, Sandton Dr, Sandown, Sandton, 2146. I was immediately greeted and seated by the waitress Preety. The cappuccino break for me was refreshing- brought back good memories being here.

I had the most amazing experience here with my friend. The atmosphere and service was remarkable. The food was so filling, I couldn’t even finish it no matter how hard I tried.
