Cowfish Waterfall

CowFish Waterfall is a contemporary restaurant at Shop 31, Waterfall Corner, on the corner of Woodmead and Waterfall Drive in Midrand, Johannesburg. The menu brings together Japanese-inspired sushi, seafood, American-style burgers and grilled dishes, creating a broad choice for diners with different tastes.

Sushi is prepared by hand and includes rolls, nigiri, platters and other Japanese-style options. Seafood forms another part of the menu, with fish, prawns and calamari prepared in different ways. The grill selection includes steaks, chops, chicken and other meat-focused dishes, while the burger range centres on hand-shaped, flame-grilled patties with optional additions. Wok-prepared dishes and sharing-style items add further variety.

The restaurant’s style combines Eastern and Western influences rather than focusing on a single culinary tradition. Its menu is designed to move between lighter seafood and sushi choices, hearty burgers, grilled meat and dishes suited to sharing. Cocktails and spirits are also part of the offering, giving the venue a drinks-led element alongside the food.

CowFish Waterfall suits groups with mixed preferences, since the menu covers several familiar restaurant categories in one place. It also has the range for a date night, a family meal or an informal dinner where different diners want different styles of food. Shared sushi, dim sum and other small plates can work for a table meal, while burgers, grills and seafood provide more substantial individual options.

The dining room is intended for a polished, cosmopolitan restaurant experience, with a menu that pairs approachable choices with dishes influenced by international cooking. Takeaway is available for meals enjoyed away from the restaurant. For diners in the Waterfall area, CowFish Waterfall provides a varied sit-down dining option with sushi, seafood, burgers, grills, cocktails and spirits under one menu.
