Spur Corporation is growing its restaurant family, and its latest move is the exciting launch of the new look John Dory’s at Eastgate Mall. This updated restaurant brings a fresh, modern feel while keeping the warm, ocean-inspired charm that South Africans already love.
This is the first John Dory’s in Gauteng to show off the brand’s new style. After 28 years of serving great seafood, the restaurant has stepped into a bold new chapter, mixing its rich heritage with a clean, modern coastal design that feels both relaxing and inviting.
Located inside one of Johannesburg’s busiest shopping centres, the new John Dory’s is built to be more than just a place to eat. It’s a full experience. The space celebrates quality food, responsible sourcing, and community spirit.
Guests can expect all their favourites, plus more. Families will enjoy the kid friendly play area and big sharing platters made for bonding. Sushi lovers can sit right at the sushi belt for fresh, irresistible bites. And for those wanting something fun and different, the restaurant now offers sushi masterclasses, perfect for friends, colleagues or celebrations. All of this unfolds in a modern ocean themed space designed to make you feel at home.
A Fresh Coastal Feel That Invites You In
Inside, the restaurant is filled with calming blues, soft textures, and stylish design elements that echo the ocean. It’s warm, fresh, and perfect for both casual lunches and cosy dinners.
The menu has also been refreshed. Diners can enjoy sustainably sourced seafood, local flavours, and new dishes created with today’s conscious eater in mind. This approach supports Spur Corporation’s long-term commitment to serving food with care for both people and the planet.
A New Chapter for the Future of Dining
With this Eastgate upgrade, John Dory’s is showing how seafood dining can be both nostalgic and forward-thinking. The new store sets the direction for future openings across Gauteng and the rest of South Africa.
As casual dining continues to rise, John Dory’s remains a trusted favourite, bringing people together, serving honest food, and creating memorable moments around every plate.
