What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners praise Blind Tiger Café for its great food, particularly the Peri-peri prego burger and calamari, and its cool, relaxed atmosphere, especially the garden seating and Sunday jazz. Some reviewers note that portions can be small and the menu is somewhat limited, with service occasionally being slow when busy. The venue is also recommended for functions and events.
"Far too often I have missed the opportunity to enjoy BTC. Dropped in at lunchtime today for my first visit. Sat in the spacious garden area but would have been equally happy inside on a colder day. My Jack Black Lager was served with a good head and the bar snacks were delicious and generous. Definitely one for another visit soon."
Peter Tobin
"A place with a garden or outside sitting area, in summer, is always a go-to! The bummer is smoking because it goes in whatever direction no matter where you're sitting, as long as it's outside.
The food was great, and their Peri-peri prego burger is the one. I loved the calamari (which I hadn't had in so long). Their vanilla milkshake wasn't too sweet, and for someone like me who doesn't have that sweet a tooth, that's a winner. My not-so-sweet tooth didn't enjoy sweet potato fries.
With service, I can't really fault them because the place gets packed, and it was a Friday. Affordable as well. I'd do it again!"

"Great food, very cool atmosphere. Would be happy to return anytime. Menu is quite limited, so I guess one shouldn’t go too often."

Best Outdoor Restaurants in Johannesburg for Scenic Meals
The first time I checked out Blind Tiger, I found the establishment quite old-timey but in a good way. The interiors have dark wood walls with red bricks and high bar chairs offering adequate legroom that made my meal comfortable and relaxing. The best location at Blind Tiger, though, was their patio with the wooden flooring, dim lighting, and tall roofing (lending the place an airy feel).
