Absolutely delicious food - best croissants and duck, veggie friendly - beautiful space and decor, and amazing staff! Definitely recommend!

Had an incredible meal - from the most delicious mushroom starter, to the duck with orange (there's nothing better in the world than this) and ending off with the delicious parfait - all paired with amazing wines and topped off with great company and a great mix of old and new French/jass/ chilled music! Thank you Marina Appelbaum for making the world a better - and tastier place.

Today we tried the newly opened Old Ducky French Café in Pineslopes and let me tell you it doesn’t feel like a newly opened restaurant at all. The service was truly top notch, a refined, elegant and subtle combination of the old and new ways of fine dining. The food, as elegant and refined as the service, each bite a wonderful explosion of the French cuisine flavours that don’t get tiring, and are refreshed with just the right wine. I had the fillet on the bone which they mastered keeping juicy while at the same time well-done just as I asked. I only took a pic of the starters because once I started eating I even forgot I had a phone!!

Johannesburg you are in for a treat! The combination of Freda's delicious food, Marina Appelbaum's generosity, style and attention to detail and the delightfully enthusiastic staff make for an outstanding experience. The wine list is great too (Robert Appelbaum's influence is clearly in evidence here). The menu carries many of Freda's classic dishes with some fun additions. The vegetarian dishes are particularly noteworthy.

A breath of fresh (French) air in the “big smog” which we call Johannesburg/ home. A funky 3D menu. Brilliant food and a spectacular wine list. Thank you for a fresh new dining experience.

What an an incredible experience we had at Old Ducky. The food was mouth watering, the wine list is impressive and the staff are friendly and professional. The atmosphere is great and the decor of the restaurant is beautiful. If you are looking for a wonderful dining experience then definitely check out this gem!

Had the privilege of having lunch at old ducky French Cafe today and what an experience it was the food and hospitality was outstanding

Who wouldn’t always want a special treat? I know I do. So, visiting a delightful new French restaurant in Pineslopes near Montecasino turned out to be so much more than I anticipated (and I was expecting excellence!). Delicious food, attentive, friendly staff, lovely decor - it has it all! The mushroom starter! Ooh la la! The pulled mutton - simply mouthwatering!! A definite return again and again ... for family and friend celebrations and gatherings ... and whenever I just feel like it -

Wow. The hosts, the staff, the food, the service. I couldn’t fault a thing. Tasted the pate and the chicken livers starter. Had the fillet on the bone, tasted the sirloin and the signature duck - all amazing. And then the milk tart, cheese cake and carrot cake for dessert. It was all stunning. (By the way - there were four of us sharing bits with each other). Loved it all.

Everything from the interesting menu, skillfully prepared and plated food, friendly and keen service, French cafe-style decor, choice of indoor or outdoor seating (that doesn't have you overlooking a parking lot) makes Old Ducky the best startup restaurant I've been to in years. The warm greetings from Marina Appelbaum and Robert Appelbaum round out the experience to make it a special place to relax with friends.
