The
seafood specialists
Having opened at the end of September last year, John Dory’s at Greenstone Shopping
Centre has fast become a favourite amongst local residents.
I
f you haven’t quite made your mind up about what you would like to
eat between sushi, seafood or grills, then John Dory’s is the perfect
restaurant for you to go and weigh the options (and one look at their
menu will leave you scratching your head trying to choose just one
dish…) John Dory’s is a casual family restaurant that welcomes anyone
and everyone. So if you are sushi lover, there is a vast range of sushi
options, but if you prefer your fish cooked, then you can order a classic
fish and chips, among a host of other traditional and more modern seafood
options. If you are not in the mood for fish at all, there are chicken and beef
grill options for you. And if you are still struggling to make up your mind, the
ever popular combo dishes and platters might just be for you.
“The reception has been incredibly positive so far,” notes John Dory’s
Greenstone franchise owner, Pieter Engelbrecht. “Greenstone Shopping Centre
is my local mall, so I was aware that it has great foot traffic and that it was in
need of a seafood offering – although we do offer great grill options as well.
The combination of Rush and the cinema makes for a beautiful flow of feet,
and I had in fact been eyeing that location for a few years,” he explains.
Its prime location in the mall is accentuated by a modern, contemporary
design resplendent in wood finishes, comfortable seating and nautical themed
signage and décor items. The large restaurant, with its sushi bar as the focal
point, can seat up to 160 people comfortably at a time. Yet if you are not in the
mood for a night out, they are also signed up and do deliveries through both
Uber Eats and Mr D (excluding specials), so you can order in and enjoy your
favourite John Dory’s meals in the comfort of your own home.
Famous for their seafood, John Dory’s have a very broad menu including
fish, sushi and grill, so there is something for everyone. “We are also kid
friendly and have a contained play area with a jungle gym, face painting and
arcade games as well as attendants to keep an eye on the little ones, and we
genuinely strive for service excellence. We like our customers to talk to us,
that’s how we learn and how we can continuously improve,” says Pieter. He
is a very hands-on owner, and is in the restaurant daily to make sure that the
