I was on a month holiday in Sandton near benmore mall. I enjoyed poping in to Fornos everyday for coffee and trying out a new item on menu or tasting the delicious pastries. The service was great . A special thanks to Pretty and the team. They certainly made my holiday special. I will definitely come again when in joberg

I have been going to Fournos for a number of years every Thursday morning and it has no become a home from home place for me. George the manager is warm and welcoming as well as the staff. Service is always friendly and makes it all the more reason why I continue going back every Thursday!

Haven't been to this part of the world for years and popped in to Fournos for tea. The chelsea bun was not fresh & we bought an olive loaf & bagel to take home. Both were inedible.
Will be happy not to visit again.

The Fournos bakery in Benmore is a treasure trove of gourmet baked goodies. It’s become a firm favourite when visiting Johannesburg. Try their freshly baked cheesecake or mouth- watering chocolate ganache.

We already bought the pastry and breads here and there is no doubt that you can find the best fresh bread here. This time we had breakfast and it was absoutely delicious although the coffee and tea could have been better. But overall it is one best place for breakfast.

Fournos bakery opens early during the week, making it an ideal option for early breakfast before the day starts.
The menu offers a variety of meals, including breakfast, burgers, salads and more.
A good option in the area for an early breakfast and coffee

the portions for breakfast plates here are quite generous, there was flexibility on substitutions, our waitress was helpful and food was pretty good. This was a good experience at a pretty busy restaurant in a good location.

The breads, pastries, desserts and treats are good! Have tried many and enjoyed them always. The cafe food however is a different story. Didn’t enjoy our meal at all. Staff is professional and friendly.

A wide spread of fresh Pastries - and you would want to try everything.
Chairs are abit uncomfortable, maybe a way to get you to move out fast :)

We had lunch at Fournos this week. The waitress was excellent. The food was absolutely terrible. We had a chicken prego and a potato rosti stack with quinoa and having been out of the country for some time was longing for a good old sausage roll which we shared. This flat sausage roll was microwaved, pastry wet and tasteless. The other food tasteless. I felt it necessary to tell the waitress making sure to tell her that she was fantastic but the food putrid. She offered to call the manager which I declined, I just do not have the energy for this conflict anymore. My suggestion to the waitress was that the chef needs to learn how to cook and that her excellent service was wasted on this restaurant, she would do herself a favour by seeking employment elsewhere at a place matching her excellent service.
