Flames is a restaurant at Four Seasons Hotel The Westcliff in Johannesburg. You eat South African dishes with contemporary twists, many prepared in a Josper grill that combines oven roasting and charcoal searing. The terrace looks out over the city, and the dining room is set back under cover.

The menu includes beef from local farms, seafood from the coast, and vegetables from nearby growers. Dishes are marked for dietary needs: gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan. The kitchen sources meat and produce from suppliers who meet ethical standards.

Tables on the terrace catch the afternoon light, and the dining room stays shaded. The restaurant is on Jan Smuts Avenue in Westcliff, a short drive from central Johannesburg. It serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily, with a Sunday brunch that includes a live sushi counter and waffle station.

The Josper grill gives a smoky finish to meats and vegetables. It is a Spanish design that seals in moisture while cooking over charcoal.
