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).

    We were a big group - we all ordered individual meals, the wait wasn't long. Service was excellent. Everyone was very accommodating.. Great restaurant.

    We were a group of seven, and we all had a wonderful meal, great service, and a lovely ambience in the garden and by the fireplace.

    Most delicious eggs Benedict. So good to be able to choose half portion. Beautiful setting.

    Cheryl, that eggs benedict has a bit of a following… so glad you got to enjoy it.

    The service was very slow. Waited too long for the waitress to take the order, and she didn’t listen about how strong we wanted the coffee. Took ages for the bill.

    Paputzis responded on Tue 07 Apr 26:
    Angela, I’m really sorry about this. That’s not the experience we want for you at all. We’ll be chatting to the team and taking this seriously, thank you for letting us know.

    What a lovely spot. Feels like you're instantly in the countryside. Very tanquil and relaxing. We were a party of 4 and the food was good but we wouldn't recommend the pulled pork wrap or lamb curry. The recipe is not quite right. A bit pricey at R500 per head for 3 course and cocktails. The one bad thing is that there didnt seem to be any policing of people smoking in the garden/outside area, so that was odd especially as that is where the play area os and children are meant to be.

    Nev, thank you for taking the time to share this with us. We’re glad you enjoyed the setting, and we’ll definitely look into the dishes and the garden concerns with the team.
