ARTIVIST — Restaurant in Gauteng

This is such a cute spot in Braamfontein. The space is very well designed. It's understated, uncluttered and uncomplicated. It makes room for the art that is often exhibited on the walls to stand out and be the focal point. My favourite part... The Untitled Basement. A hidden gem of a music venue at the basement of the restaurant. The ambience is just beautiful and the design and interior is exquisite.

Our waitress is run off her feet, and trying her best.

The food arrives, its mostly burnt and you forgot the falafel. My plate is back in your kitchen. I'm still hungry. My second drink still ain't here. We're missing the jazz.
