EL&N opens in Johannesburg today…
It’s not only some South African expats in London that are moving back home, but one of the city’s coolest Instagram-worthy café’s has also moved to South Africa, opening its first outlet at the Mall of Africa in Johannesburg today, 24 August 2023.
EL&N London, which is popular amongst SA expats, is best known for its unique interiors and speciality coffee; and already has 32 stores around the world. Johannesburg has just been added to the cool list which includes Milan, Paris and Dubai.
EL&N London said in a statement today: “The design of the store features a bespoke tree of light chandelier with over 500 LED bulbs, painting a glow over the pretty pink and green interiors. Paired with a brand new Instagrammable moment dressed in pink blossom florals and the brand’s iconic neon slogans across the walls.”
Especially for South Africans, the new outlet will include brand new steaks and grills, as well as its first-ever pizza bar, offering 11 rustic wood-fired pizzas. There’s also the iconic Spanish Latte and Dulce de Leche cake.
EL&N (short for Eat, Live & Nourish) prides itself on providing a maximally photogenic backdrop that is Instagrammable, yet stylish.
“We are over the moon to celebrate our first opening in South Africa at the Mall of Africa. We’re bringing a touch of London to Johannesburg with our unique designs and an incredible menu offering,” says EL&N founder Alexandra Miller.
