Del Forno Epsom Downs — Restaurant in Gauteng

Oh my goodness, have you heard about the amazing breakfast specials at Delforno’s Epsom Downs? 😍 My partner and I decided to treat ourselves to a cozy dine-in morning there recently, and let me tell you—it was an absolute delight! From the moment we walked in, the warm, welcoming vibe had us grinning. The staff greeted us with big smiles, and the smell of fresh coffee and sizzling bacon instantly made my stomach do a happy dance.

Their breakfast specials are a must-try. We’re talking fluffy pancakes drizzled with maple syrup, perfectly poached eggs on avocado toast (with a sprinkle of chili flakes for that extra zing!), and crispy hash browns that could honestly win awards. And the best part? The prices felt like a steal for such generous, Instagram-worthy plates. I went for the "Big Morning" deal—scrambled eggs, smoked salmon, and a buttery croissant—while my partner devoured their stacked breakfast burger. Every bite was like a hug for our taste buds.

What really made the experience special, though, was the little touches. Our server, Bheki, kept checking in with refills of their rich, aromatic coffee and even recommended a side of honey-glazed sausages (life-changing, by the way). The sunlit dining area, with its rustic-chic decor and upbeat playlist, made us want to linger all day.

If you’re looking for a spot that feels like a mix of your favorite brunch spot and a friend’s cozy kitchen, run to Delforno’s. Treat yourself—you deserve it! 🙌 We’re already planning our next visit. Maybe...

So we are effectiovely "professional patrons" when it comes to eating out (see my other reviews). We're always looking for a dining experience that offers at least the following:

Convenient location, easy access, and ample parking. Good quality food tthat is fresh and tasty. Reasonable prices, but not so cheap as to sell oild food. Lovely atmosphere and pleasant decor. Busy enough to be successful, but not ovcer-packed. Management that is always present (to ensure quality). Great Service and friendly staff. Flexible menus, if you want to become innovative.

Well, if I could give FIVE STARS for each of these, I would!

Not only is Juan always there to greet us, but he is constantly monitoring to ensure we're happy, satisfied, and cared for.

This is a restaurant I would definitely recommend to anyone who ever finds themselves in this area, or who might want to try them out as an alternative to whatever they...
