What was once the garden restaurant Possum's in Craighall Park (just off Jan Smuts Ave behind The Valley Centre) was taken over by new owners and reopened in June 2021 as The Wild Side, a restaurant-bar with a neon-bright tropical theme. There's a delicious menu of casual-contemporary fare (the brioche bun burgers do not disappoint) plus cocktails and Saturday afternoon DJ sets. The indoor dining area opens out onto a large terraced courtyard garden where the majority of tables are out in the open. The perfect meeting spot for sunny afternoon drinks.
