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).

    This is the first time I’ve not had a totally enjoyable experience. We were sat at a small round table, not big enough to serve a breakfast, then the moving around and arranging of tables was disturbing. This should have been completed before people arrive for their booking.

    We recently celebrated a birthday at Paputzis Restaurant, where we had reserved their private dining room, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that everything was well organised and that our guests were comfortable and happy throughout the celebration. A special mention goes to our waitress, Leila,who was exceptionally friendly, attentive, and professional. Her excellent service and warm personality made the occasion even more enjoyable. We are truly grateful for the wonderful hospitality and the care shown by the entire team. I would highly recommend Paputzis Restaurant to anyone looking for excellent food, outstanding service, and a welcoming atmosphere for a special occasion.
