+258 Taste of Mozambique
Transforming Culinary Spaces: +258 Restaurant in the Design Quarter
Nestled in Johannesburg’s bustling Design Quarter, +258 restaurant offers an authentic taste of Mozambican cuisine, named after Mozambique’s dialling code. Trend Group executed the comprehensive build and fit-out for the +258 Taste of Mozambique project, complementing the design by Durban’s Design 3B. A significant element of the project was relocating the restaurant from Durban, ensuring a seamless transition to its new vibrant location.
A Taste of Mozambique: Design and Aesthetics
Meticulously designed to reflect Mozambique’s essence, the restaurant features a lively deli section reminiscent of a food market. The reuse of joinery from the previous location, alongside elements like aged timber and corrugated sheeting, helped to create a rustic ambiance that maintains continuity with its heritage.




Ensuring Functionality and Style
Trend Group’s responsibilities extended to essential installations, including extraction systems, fresh air provisions, and bathroom facilities. This integration ensured functionality complemented the stylish design, facilitating a smooth and enjoyable dining experience.
Collaborative Approach to Design and Implementation
Close collaboration with the designers was crucial, as Trend Group acted as a liaison among all parties, fostering effective communication. The team’s adaptability and expertise helped realise the designers’ vision, enabling innovative solutions to any challenges that arose.

Embracing Adaptability in Every Phase
By employing a build-measure-learn methodology, Trend Group remained responsive to evolving project needs, incorporating refinements throughout the process. This flexibility allowed the team to stay focused on delivering an outstanding final product that meets the client’s expectations.
Delivering Unmatched Experiences
Trend Group’s commitment to exceptional end-user experiences ensured that deadlines were met, and client satisfaction was achieved. The successful completion of the +258 restaurant has garnered praise, reinforcing Trend Group’s reputation for excellence in design and fit-out projects.
