Gia’s on Montrose

Gia’s on Montrose is a family-friendly restaurant tucked away in the heart of Morningside, Johannesburg.

Set on the peaceful garden grounds of Montrose Nursery, one of Johannesburg’s most established and loved nurseries, it’s a welcoming space where parents can relax and children are free to play.

Whether you’re popping in for a casual breakfast, a wholesome lunch, or just a great cup of Illy coffee, the menu offers fresh, seasonal food with something for everyone.

We have a one-of-a-kind tranquil oasis escape which is conducive to a Cape wine farm ambiance. You can have a private business meeting or romantic date, as our tables are spaced wide apart in our beautiful gardens. You will not find this anywhere else in Sandton.

What truly sets Gia’s apart is the outdoor play area, designed to keep children of all ages happy and active. Kids can enjoy a mini basketball court, a penalty shoot-out zone, and a soccer pitch for five-a-side fun. There’s a big jumping pillow for the older ones, a smaller version for the little ones, a bike track to race around, and a jungle gym for climbing and imaginative play. It’s a space that encourages movement, creativity, and connection while parents unwind nearby in the relaxed garden setting.
