We visited Forti on a Wednesday evening and was quite surprised at how busy it was! We enjoyed excellently prepared dishes and very professional service.All that keeps me from giving the restaurant a higher rating is the lack of ambiance. We sat at a table for two, which was too big and too close to the table right next to it, to have any type of serious conversation. It was also placed directly against a mirror with a light as bright as a hospital's directly shining on the table. It really spoiled the experience somewhat. (Maybe I am comparing the experience with Ritrovo, which was a firm favourite, and it is just not the same)Hi. Thank you for your lovely review. Unfortunately we as a green building use only LED lighting and they do not dim very well. The dim look also is very convenient at hiding dirt. We love our restaurant bright to show off our cleanliness and our beautiful art. I promise you you will get used to it. If it still bothers I will simply take out the light above your table. The Forti dimmer method. With love.

The Blue Crane Restaurant and Bar

The Blue Crane, situated in the heart of Pretoria next to the Austin Roberts Bird Sanctuary, is now under new ownership and management. Not only has the entire venue been renovated extensively, but we also built a brand new 'Boma' area ideal for functions

Reviewed By Danie92

If you want a relaxing atmosphere, spacious, quiet, next to a dam with abundant bird life and excellent food at more than reasonable prices, then this is the place to go to. Cannot believe that this is in the heart of a big city. Give yourself a treat and visit them.

La Pentola

La Pentola established in 1995 is the perfect venue for executive chef/owner Shane Sauvage's authentic fusion cuisine. After 23 years in business the restaurant has just been fully renovated to create an open light free flowing space during the day soften

We went to La Pentola for the first time last night. What a wonderful experience. The waiter knew the menu like the back of his hand. The food was delicious, full of flavour and beautifully presented. Even though they hosted two huge touring groups, the service was still fantastic. I will definitely be back and next time I am taking friends with to share the experience.

Bellgables Country Restaurant

There is a lot happening regarding the decor which fits perfectly with the personality of the restaurant and the owner/chef. It is grand and ornate. The food was exceptional. The service was fantastic. Something quite different from other restaurants, so well worth the jaunt into the countryside.

The new venue is only a average place,guy's really,flies around our table???totally unexceptable.....Starter was good,main dish,lamb shank with a sauce on it,no choice to add myself,uge let down,guy's you dropped the ball here,you used to be Excellent????Dessert,not good,basically enough sweet stuff for 3 people,didn't enjoy.No more of the passion,so sad.Will we go again,not sure,very disappointing.Hello Coen,Thank you very much for bringing your perspective of your dining experience to our attention. Both positive and negative is taken with equal praise by us as both aspects can be brought into consideration to make the Kream experience a success. We especially appreciate your perspective as it is based on past experiences of how Kream used to be. And it is certainly agreeable that Kream is not what it used to be, especially since moving locations. We will take all your points into great consideration so that we can take active measures at improving. The points you mention, like flies around the table, is definitely unacceptable. I hope you will visit us again for a renewed experience, and enjoy the Kream you once loved. The only option for us is improvement, there is no other way. We hope you will give any further details you would like to share by emailing us on [email protected] you very much for your time and consideration.

It is the restaurant from The Orient hotel.A hidden gem; both. They literally have their own small animal park. On the way to restaurant/hotel you will encounter giraffes/ zebras.I have been to lots of places ; this is unique and spectacular.Ok - now the restaurant.Very very classic. Better wear something decent it really is classic & classy.Service 5* beyond doubt. You can choose between small and big menu. within the menu you can choose between several dishes. Some dishes are set.We liked this. Every dish was well explained. The accompanying wine & non alcoholic drinks match (although we liked the wine menu a bit better)Food was stunning. Extremely well prepared. Nothing too fancy but absolutely delicate. Some dishes are rather "simple" ; some are molecular style ; but important. They taste and don't do the molecular cooking just for the sake of it.Of course prices are accordingly.Very very good and recommendable! You won't be disappointed.
