Paputzis is a beloved Linden, Randburg restaurant that has operated as a Coffee Shop since 1997. After beautiful renovations and extensions, we now also offer Paputzis@Night. Our restaurant retains its informal Café style for casual daytime drinks and dining, including breakfasts, light lunches, coffee, homemade teatime favourites and, of course, wine. For Paputzis@Night, we have an à la carte menu featuring traditional and contemporary favourites, including lamb shank, oxtail, King prawns, duck, poké bowls, hamburgers, and blackboard specials.
The seating in our lush garden includes tranquil areas, a place for happy gatherings, a playground and a smokers’ corner. On our lovely Farmhouse stoep, there are three patio areas that can be enclosed if needed. For inside seating, there are three cosy rooms, including one with a fireplace.
We love to entertain for special occasions and celebrations, tailoring menus to the host’s/hostess's specific requirements.
We have a liquor licence and offer a variety of wines and beverages, but you are welcome to bring your own wine (for which we charge a minimal corkage fee).

    What a pity there were only 2 other tables occupied besides ourselves. No patrons, no ambience.

    Hi Belinda. Some days are a little quieter, but we’re glad you still enjoyed your time with us. We hope to welcome you back on one of our fuller, buzzing days.

    We loved our dining experience yesterday! The food was freshly prepared and delicious and was just enough to feel comfortable. The service was attentive and unobtrusive and we so enjoyed the calm & tranquil ambience. Thank you for this memorable dining experience!

    Only problem we had was that we waited about an hour for our food. Otherwise the food was delicious and the portions very generous.

    Hi Vannessa, thank you for this, we really appreciate it. We always focus on getting every dish out just right, and we’ll keep an eye on the wait. So glad you enjoyed it with us.

    Warm inviting atmosphere, perfect for a quiet dinner for 2 or 4 or 6 or for a celebration Dinner or lunch. Lovely fireplace to sit and have a pre dinner drink in winter..

    Paputzis responded on Mon 04 May 26:
    Hi Benita, you’ve described us perfectly, thank you. That fireplace corner has a way of pulling people in, especially in winter. We’ll keep it warm for you.
