Johannesburg has one of the largest Jewish communities in Africa, and kosher food, under Kosher SA (the Beth Din of South Africa), is concentrated in neighbourhoods such as Glenhazel, Linksfield and Fairmount. Our site lists 30 kosher places and here are four of the top-rated. Distances in the city are long, so plan your stay and transport around the neighbourhood. Check opening hours before you go, especially around Friday and Shabbat.
