Catz Pyjamas exists for those moments when you're stuck between wanting proper food and not wanting the formality that usually comes with it. Johannesburg's pace doesn't leave much room for lengthy sit-downs, and this spot understands that tension — it's designed for people who need to eat well without the production. Whether you're a local who's tired of the usual chains or someone visiting who wants to experience how Joburg actually eats on a weeknight, there's a directness here that works. The menu makes sense for what the city needs right now: food that doesn't pretend to be something it isn't, served by staff who get that you're probably rushed. It's the kind of place that becomes a habit because it doesn't waste your time or your money.

In Johannesburg, neighbourhood context matters more than in almost any other South African city — a Melville restaurant and a Bryanston restaurant are operating in effectively different economic ecosystems. The inner-city creative scene around Maboneng rewards exploration but requires awareness of where you park and where you walk at night. For weeknight dining in the northern suburbs, the Parkhurst and Rosebank strips offer the best density of independently owned kitchens relative to chains.
