Pappas on the Square is an award winning, family owned restaurant located on the Nelson Mandela Square in Sandton, Johannesburg, Gauteng, specialising in Greek and Mediterranean Cuisine
We believe in fresh, quality produce and innovative, well-presented dishes. While we still offer a wide-variety of traditional Greek dishes, our Mediterranean menu has evolved with the history of the restaurant spanning over three decades
My first experience at Pappas was disappointing. I wanted to order breakfast at 12:05, but I couldn't, so I settled for a starter of calamari and chicken livers to satisfy my cravings. Unfortunately, the chicken livers were overcooked and inedible, while the calamari, on the other hand, was exceptional—definitely a 10/10. Additionally, the service was quite slow too.
We had our breakfast here today, we were the first guests. Pappas terrace has nice view on Mandela square, the food was good, the service friendly. We enjoyed
Deliciously prepared seafood…consistent and never disappoints. Always a vibe on a Saturday night with live entertainment (belly dancer). It’s the first time I tried the Kateifi dessert and boy oh boy! This is a winner..
I had an amazing experience at this place. We ordered a variety of tapas, and every single dish was flavorful and satisfying. The portions were good, and by the end, we were happily full without feeling overwhelmed. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was prompt and friendly. It’s clear they take pride in their food and presentation. Perfect spot for sharing a meal with friends or family. Highly recommend
Went in for restaurant week. It was pretty packed for a Saturday evening. The food was very good. I had the trout fillet, which was very flavourful. Our waiterress was amazing, but the manager that night was not great. After seven pm the restaurant becomes very quiet and hardly anyone is there.
