This is a great excuse to spend the next week visiting some incredible foodie destinations. Most of the hotels on this list have fantastic restaurants, talented chefs and menu prices that won\u2019t break the bank (and with the R1 bus fare and various offers available \u2013 you could probably afford to splurge). The R20 vouchers from Hazel Food Market will mean dessert is on Gautrain!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Hazel-Food-3.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1580 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Hazel-Food-3.jpeg\" alt=\"Hazel Food 3\" width=\"1000\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Hazel-Food-3.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Hazel-Food-3-300x120.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We gave it a try: climbing on the train for an early Saturday morning ride from Johannesburg to Pretoria. Watching the city wake up from the windows of the train is something special. We hopped off at Hatfield Station and headed to the buses to catch a ride to the Hazel Food Market. There is something glorious about food markets. The hustle and bustle of the crowds, the sound of excited chatter and friends meeting as well as the smell of glorious food. The Food Market is a great spot to taste a few different dishes. As the heat of the summer sun began to beat down at around midday we headed back to the Gautrain station. The air conditioned trains are a cool reprieve from the heat and the twenty minute ride allows for the quick nap your full tummy craves. It\u2019s the perfect Saturday morning date or excuse to catch up with friends.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Hazel-Food.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1582 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Hazel-Food.jpeg\" alt=\"Hazel Food\" width=\"1000\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Hazel-Food.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Hazel-Food-300x120.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For more info and to check out the T&amp;Cs, be sure to check out the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/goo.gl\/AGyYyH\"><strong>Gautrain<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0website.
