[Photos from the ed-at-large] Sandton City's Walnut Grove turns over a new leaf

The well-loved, family-owned Walnut Grove in Sandton City has relaunched with new décor, menu and branding. Opened in 1975 by Yianni Drakopoulos, the tradition continues with daughter Elle Ruschioni and son Fotis Drakopoulos and their spouses taking over the running. A media and VIP launch was held on Monday, 16 July 2012, at which guests were treated to samplings off the new menu, entertainment and a taste of the new ambience.

The Walnut Tree chandelier, with over 50 000 reclaimed and vintage crystals sourced from all over the world, features in the centre of the restaurant and is meant to epitomise the family heritage and values that form the foundation of the venue.

Decadent cake table!

Have you ever seen such huge meringues?

Mini red velvet cupcakes - very, very yummy.

Part of the entertainment that evening was having your portrait sketched.

Is that a claw or a cage? :)
