The SALT Road Houghton: Inside Houghton's New-ish Opening

Houghton has long been one of Joburg's quieter northern suburbs, leafy, established and never particularly interested in shouting for attention. Now, there is a new reason to head into the neighbourhood. The SALT Road Houghton has brought a taste of the Cape Winelands to 10 2nd Avenue, giving locals and food-loving Joburgers another restaurant to add to the list.Positioned as a Cape Winelands escape in the city, The SALT Road Houghton brings together seasonal ingredients, global techniques and a distinctly South African approach to cooking. With chefs Craig Cormack and Beau du Toit at the helm, this is also not a restaurant that has appeared out of nowhere. It forms part of a wider culinary story built around salt, fire, preservation, flavour and the traditions behind food. For anyone who enjoys exploring Joburg's ever-changing food scene, this is a new address worth knowing about.Get To Know The SALT Road HoughtonLocated at 10 2nd Avenue in Houghton Estate, The SALT Road Houghton is part of the 10 2nd Avenue Boutique Hotel. The restaurant brings the spirit of the Cape Winelands into a Johannesburg setting, with a menu centred around seasonal ingredients, global techniques and South African flavours.Salt is a particularly important part of the concept. The wider SALT Road story looks at the different ways salt has been used throughout food history, from salting and curing to smoking and preservation. At the Houghton restaurant, that idea makes its way onto the menu through the use of different salts and techniques, rather than simply being part of the restaurant's name.Image: The Salt RoadMeet The Chefs Behind The SALT RoadAt the helm of The SALT Road Houghton are chefs Craig Cormack and Beau du Toit, who bring years of experience across South Africa's food and wine scene to the Johannesburg restaurant.Craig Cormack is the Chef Patron and Restaurateur behind The SALT Road, while Beau du Toit is the Chef Patron and Consultant. The pair have worked across a number of culinary ventures, including SALT at Waterford Estate, SALT at Neethlingshof and SALT at Paul Clüver in the Western Cape.Their experience is particularly relevant to the Houghton concept, which brings together food, wine, local ingredients and the techniques that have shaped South African cooking. So while this may be a new restaurant for Joburg diners, the people behind it are well established in the South African food scene.Image: The Salt RoadA Taste of the Cape Winelands in HoughtonThe food is where The SALT Road's concept really comes together. The menu takes a seasonal approach, bringing together South African ingredients and familiar flavours with techniques and influences from further afield. There is a mix of sharing plates and more substantial dishes, making it easy to settle in for a proper meal.There are some distinctly South African touches too, including oxtail denningvleis, while dishes such as the fire-grilled kingklip tikka bring a more global influence to the table. The salt concept is also worked into the food itself, with different salts used across the menu rather than simply being an afterthought. And if you have a sweet tooth, the dessert menu is worth a look too. The current selection includes a citron tart, Craig's malva pudding and a salted caramel brownie. As the menu is seasonal and may change depending on availability, there will be plenty of opportunity for the offering to evolve over time.Image: The Salt RoadThe SALT Road Story Goes Beyond JohannesburgThe Houghton restaurant is part of a much bigger SALT Road story. The brand's South African locations have included SALT at Waterford Estate in Stellenbosch, SALT at Neethlingshof and SALT at Paul Clüver in Elgin, with the wider concept centred around local traditions, terroir, food heritage and the many ways salt can be used to preserve, transform and enhance ingredients.Bringing that concept to Johannesburg makes The SALT Road Houghton a little different from a restaurant simply taking inspiration from the Cape. There is already an established food philosophy behind the name, and Houghton is the latest place where that approach is being put into practice.If you're always looking for somewhere new to add to your restaurant list, you can also browse where to eat in Joburg right now for more ideas around the city.Image: The Salt RoadA New Restaurant To Know in HoughtonJohannesburg has no shortage of restaurants, but new openings are always worth paying attention to when they bring something with a clear point of view. The SALT Road Houghton has arrived with an established culinary concept, a strong connection to the Cape Winelands and a menu that puts its salt-focused approach into practice.For Joburg diners, it is another reason to make your way to Houghton and see what the restaurant is about for yourself.

24 Hours in Randburg With Kids: The Full Family Itinerary

One day in Randburg can take you from imaginative play and farmyard animals to ice skating, go-karting and mazes. With so many family-friendly spots in and around the area, it is easy to put together a full day that suits your family, whether you have toddlers, older kids or a mix of both.From miniature play towns and farmyard animals to ice skating, go-karting and mazes, there is enough variety to keep the day interesting without having to drive from one side of Joburg to the other. The trick is to choose a few stops that suit your family rather than trying to tick everything off in one go.Morning: Start at Happy TownStart the day at Happy Town in Craighall Park, particularly if you have younger children. The miniature play town is designed for children aged six and under, with eight themed areas where they can step into different roles and create their own little stories as they play.There is a construction site, fire station, grocery store, kitchen, hospital, barn, garden and house on fire, so the experience feels much more like an imaginary little town than a traditional indoor play centre. One minute your child can be playing shopkeeper and the next they are off being a doctor or firefighter. It is the sort of place where children can become completely absorbed in their own world.Parents get a little something out of the morning too. Happy Town has a café serving coffees, smoothies, fresh juices, toasted sandwiches and light bites, so you can settle down with a coffee while the kids get stuck into the play areas. There is also a dedicated baby and soft-play corner for younger visitors, as well as a private room for changing or breastfeeding.If you are visiting during the school holidays, it is worth checking the activity calendar before you go. Happy Town regularly adds themed sessions and activities, including messy play, cookie decorating and crafts, which can make the morning feel even more special.Image: Happy TownMid-Morning: Get Outside at CrazyKidz FarmyardOnce the kids have had their fill of role play, it is time to get outside. CrazyKidz Farmyard in Danielbrink Park is a good next stop if your children enjoy animals, climbing, running around and generally getting a little dirty.The farmyard is home to bunnies, guinea pigs, chickens, goats, sheep, pot-bellied pigs and a pony, and children can get involved with feeding and interacting with the animals. The animal experience is only one part of the attraction, though. There is also a large sandpit, jungle gyms, swings, slides, a trampoline and a pirate ship to explore.For kids who struggle to sit still, the 230-metre bike track is another big draw. There are kick bikes available, giving them the chance to race around while parents get a chance to catch their breath. With so much packed into the venue, you can easily spend a good chunk of the morning here rather than feeling like you have to move on after an hour.There is an on-site snack shop for those inevitable hunger pangs, with family-friendly options such as burgers, boerie rolls, hotdogs and chips. Picnics are also welcome, although the venue has specific rules around outside drinks, so check those before packing the cooler bag.The property has a bit of history too. It was one of the original farms that eventually became part of Randburg, and the original windmill and farm dam are still on the property.Image: CrazyKidz FarmyardPrefer Something a Little Faster?If your children are more interested in speed than farm animals, swap CrazyKidz Farmyard for The Ski Deck in Ferndale.The Ski Deck offers activities including bumboarding, slope surfing and sliding, making it a fun alternative for children who want something active but are looking for something different from the usual play centre. It is particularly worth considering for kids who have started to outgrow soft play but are not necessarily ready for activities aimed at much older children.You do not need to build both into the same day. Think of this as the first decision point in the itinerary: animals and outdoor play at CrazyKidz, or a more action-packed morning at The Ski Deck.Lunchtime: Stop for a Family-Friendly MealAfter a busy morning, give everyone some time to sit down and refuel. If you are heading towards Northgate for the afternoon, Dakota Spur at Northgate Shopping Centre is a convenient family-friendly option that keeps you close to the next round of activities.The menu is filled with familiar favourites, making it an easy choice when you have different ages and different levels of pickiness around the table. There is also a kids' offering and a play area, so the children have somewhere to burn off a little energy while the adults finish their meal.This is also the point in the day where it is worth resisting the temptation to rush. A proper lunch break gives everyone a chance to recharge, especially if you have toddlers or younger children who have already had a very busy morning.Afternoon: Pick Your Big AdventureThe afternoon is where you can tailor the itinerary to your family. Northgate gives you several options close together, so you can choose one main activity rather than trying to cram all of them into a few hours.Total Ninja NorthgateIf your children still have a seemingly endless supply of energy, Total Ninja Northgate is a natural choice. The venue combines inflatable and obstacle-course activities, with different challenges involving jumping, swinging, balancing and climbing.There is also a multi-zone soft-play area for younger children, so families with siblings of different ages do not necessarily have to split up. The scale of the venue also means this feels like a proper afternoon activity rather than something you will be finished with after 30 minutes.Because Total Ninja is inside Northgate Mall, it also works well logistically. You can have lunch nearby, spend the afternoon at the venue and then decide whether you want to stay in the area for dinner.JoziKart NorthgateFor children aged five and up who would rather race than bounce, JoziKart offers something completely different. The Northgate track uses SODI racing karts, while Bambino karting caters for younger racers.This is the activity for families who do not mind a little competition. Instead of simply watching the kids play, parents can get involved too and see who actually has the fastest lap. There are safety requirements to keep in mind, including closed shoes and height restrictions, so check the requirements before arriving.JoziKart also has other locations, including Cresta, but Northgate fits particularly neatly into this itinerary because it keeps you in the same general area after lunch.Northgate Ice RinkIf you want something that feels a little less frantic, Northgate Ice Rink is another afternoon option. Ice skating works particularly well when you have children with different interests because beginners can take their time getting comfortable while more confident skaters can spend their session practising and exploring the rink.The rink describes itself as suitable for all ages and caters for everyone from first-time skaters to more experienced visitors. There are also regular events, including Sunday Night Madness, so check the schedule before you go to see whether there is something special happening during your visit.It is also a handy rainy-day option. Rather than cancelling the family outing when the weather turns, you can simply move the afternoon indoors.Or Take the Adventure Outdoors at Honeydew MazesIf you have had enough of indoor venues by this point, Honeydew Mazes gives you the chance to get back outside.The current Elemental Maze takes visitors through four themed elements, with secret gardens and a 15-station quiz trail along the way. It is not simply about finding your way from one side to the other. Children have to explore, look for clues and work things out as they go, which gives the outing a little more purpose than simply running around.There are shaded areas where you can take a break, along with snacks and drinks, making it easier to spend a few hours there without needing to rush off. It is also a good option for families with children of different ages because everyone can tackle the maze at their own pace.If you are visiting on a weekend or public holiday, check the current opening details before setting off. The venue also runs special events at certain times of the month, including its Moonlight Maze.Image: Honeydew MazesWrapping Up Your Randburg Family DayBy late afternoon, you have a full day of options behind you, from imaginative play and farmyard animals to skating, racing and exploring. The beauty of this itinerary is that you can mix and match depending on your children's ages, interests and how much you want to fit into the day.A younger family might spend the morning at Happy Town, move on to CrazyKidz Farmyard, have lunch and then finish with some ice skating. Families with older children could swap in The Ski Deck or JoziKart, while Honeydew Mazes gives you an outdoor alternative if you want to stay away from the malls.Finish with dinner around Northgate or the surrounding area and call it a day. After a full 24 hours of playing, racing, skating and exploring, chances are the kids will be ready for bed before you are.Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat are the best things to do in Randburg with kids?There are plenty of options depending on the ages and interests of your children.
