Restaurant review: Doppio Zero Southdowns

Restaurant review: Doppio Zero Southdowns

Doppio Zero Logo
Doppio Zero at the Southdowns mall in Centurion recreates the atmosphere of a European Coffee Shop. (No, not Amsterdam Coffee Shop).

When you step through the doors at Doppio, you are greeted with the scent of freshly baked bread and cookies. Doppio Zero has their own bakery, which delivers freshly baked Artisan goods every day.

Ideal for a first date, I invited a girl that I have only spoken to on the Internet to join me for a drink at Doppio. The friendly and warm atmosphere at Doppio is perfect to put two nervous people at ease. Also, eye witnesses should I go missing.

The ambience did its job and soon, with wine in hand, we were chatting like we have known it each other for years. We quickly decided that we will upgrade this date from ‘Drinks’ to ‘Dinner and Drinks’. Doppio’s menu offers Mediterranean dishes with a South African twist. They have a lot mouth-watering dishes including one of my favourites – Gnocchi. Much like a pasta dish, Gnocchi is made from potato dumplings and served with a pasta sauce you desire.

The breakfast menu at Doppio Zero is something special with many unique dishes that you don’t normally find on a breakfast menu making Doppio a lovely place to go for breakfast.

Hey, speaking of menus, Doppio Zero why do you put you menus on your website as pdf files? Not only do I have to wait for the menu to download, the menus are not searchable. If you want to make one change to the menu you have to redo the pdf and upload the file again. If you had the menu in HTML you could make the change quickly without a lot of hassle. Do yourself and us a favour by uploading your menus in good ’ol HTML.
According to your website, you don't have pizza.

That said, Doppio is an enjoyable upmarket and relaxed place for breakfast, lunch or dinner. How did my dinner date go?
As of now, my date is now my fiancé.
