Where to celebrate Father's Day in Joburg

08 Jun 2023
It's Father's Day on Sun, Jun 18, 2023 and if you are still stuck for ideas on how to make the day special for the father figure in your life, here are some suggestions. 

Father's Day Screening of Big Fish at The Bioscope
 

Big Fish (2003)
Treat your dad to a morning movie on Sun, Jun 18 from 11:00 at The Bioscope at 44 Stanley with a screening of the 2003 Tim Burton film, Big Fish. The film weaves a mesmerising tale centred around the relationship between a frustrated son, Will Bloom, and his larger-than-life father, Edward Bloom. As Edward's life approaches its end, Will embarks on a journey to uncover the truth behind his father's extraordinary stories.

In celebration of fathers and father figures this year, treat the whole family to a Sunday lunch out somewhere special. Many Joburg hotels are hosting Sunday lunches with live entertainment to set a celebratory mood, and some include personalised gifts, too. Here are a few ideas for where to book:  

Halaal lunch at Jasmine Fusion in Sandton
Enjoy a unique, four-course halaal culinary experience at Jasmine Fusion in Sandton. Their Father's Day lunch includes drinks and a variety of lunch options from steak to lamb. There are two lunch sittings at R550 p.p. The first takes place at 12:00 – 15:00, with the second seating option from 15:30. Booking is essential. 

Father's Day lunch roast at Fairlawns
Spoil your dad with a luxury Father's Day experience at Fairlawns Boutique Hotel & Spa in Sandton, with a Sunday roast lunch in their beautiful garden location. Their lunch includes welcome drinks, and the roast lunch will have a selection of breads, grilled fish, oxtail and promising dessert options. Lunch will be served at 12:30 and costs R795 p.p. Booking is essential. 

The Indaba Hotel Sunday Jazz and Bubbly Brunch
The Indaba Hotel in Fourways will host a special family brunch at their Epsom restaurant venue (which spills out into a courtyard with plenty of space and outdoor seating). The brunch menu includes a full English breakfast buffet plus an oyster bar and bottomless bubbly, all accompanied by live jazz. Brunch is served until 12:00 and costs R265 p.p. Book online here.

A four-course lunch with a view at The Northcliff Boutique Hotel
Celebrate Father’s day at The Northcliff Boutique Hotel, a hotel on a hill that promises the most spectacular views. The special four-course Father's Day lunch is served from 12:00 and costs R650 p.p. Booking is essential. Email reservations@thenorthcliff.com to book. No kids under 12, so this is a great option for adult children to spoil their father figures.  

Treat Dad to a designer trim at the barbershop

Some favourites that elevate getting a trim to a special occasion include the retro-cool Bespoken Man at The Bank in Rosebank and the Sandton Gautrain Station (they've also got a great whisky selection) and Bar Ber Black Sheep's bar/barbershop on Parkwood's buzzing Park Corner on Bolton Road. For some serious grooming Rockets Man (branches in Fourways, Rosebank and Sandton) "put the Man in manicures" and also offer hair and beard colouring, eyebrow threading and tinting, facials and other treatments as well as "haircuts for little rockstars" if you want to make it a father-son outing. For the coolest beard and head shaves you can't beat the barbershop chain with a cult following, Legends Barber, the barbershop of choice for South Africa's hip hop greats. Find them countrywide.
