About
Lyon-born gourmand Michel Morand fell in love with South Africa and moved here over 2 decades ago. Teaming up with local Vusi Sithole, he has created what many consider the city's top restaurant. Morand knows Jo'burg's major players, and some of the country's biggest (and wealthiest) names come to his classy Sandton restaurant to indulge in out-of-the-ordinary French dishes. Formal and gracious, with high-back chairs and stiff napkins, Auberge Michel prides itself on the fact that once the menu changes, no dish is ever repeated; the emphasis is on producing high-quality, highly original cuisine that evolves out of specially sought-out ingredients.
