About
Farro started in Johannesburg, became an institution for people who cared about eating well, closed during COVID, and spent three years as a pop-up and a winelands residency before landing permanently in a small terraced house on Wandel Street in late 2025. Owners Alex and Eloise Windebank describe it as "unashamedly uncool and old school" — butter, cream, wine, a five-course menu that changes with what's good, no plant-based positioning. The wine list is all smaller South African producers; wine by the glass is available throughout the meal so you can move across varieties without committing to a bottle.
What to order
The five-course set menu. Order by the glass so you can try different things across the courses.
