Located at the Pirates Bowling Club in Greenside, Johannesburg, The Green Room is a breakfast and lunch spot that is passionate about delicious food, coffee and cake.

The restaurant’s play area is a paradise for young ones. It is big enough to keep children entertained, yet small enough for the parents to maintain control.

Children can enjoy different forms of play including the jungle gym, swings and different toys.
