Draped in pink tones from top to toe and sprinkled with floral accents throughout, EL&N proudly branded itself the "most Instagrammable café" when it opened its first store in London in 2017. It has since branched out to locations around the world as far as Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. The store in the Mall of Africa is its first location in Africa.

Apart from its backdrops and photo booths that offer inspiration for selfies, the pretty mocktails and speciality lattes are just as much fun to photograph paired with a sweet treet from the patisserie counter. And if you're looking to sink your teeth into something more substantial, take your pick from the all-day brunch menu, grills, burgers, pizzas, pastas and flavourful sides and small plates.

GET THERE WITH GAUTRAIN

Located at The Mall of Africa, EL&N is easily reached by Gautrain bus. Simply hop on and hop off at the Mall of Africa's dedicated Gautrain access point at Entrances 8 and 9, underneath Dischem. The bus runs from Midrand station directly to the mall during the week and on weekends. See our guide to the Gautrain here and download the Gautrain app for real-time updates on when the next Gautrain and Gautrain midi-bus are due.
