Took my in-laws there on Wednesday for a lunch...we mostly opted for seafood as a change of pace....my 'large' prawn meal was okay, wife did not enjoy her Hake.....Andre our waiter was top drawer though....I suspect we expected too much from the food....just felt it could have been better for what we paid...

Perfect ambient, perfect service, perfect food!
Located in Bryanston, this restaurant shows the old colonial ambient. And it's huge. Outside you have a fireplace.
The service is extra ordinary. Three different waiters were responsible for our table. And each waiter was a specialist in his profession and high motivated.
We tried the Kudu-fillet, the ordinary beef and several types of carpaccio. Absolute perfect!
Good wine and a good whisky were offered too.
We will come back, definitely.

We had lunch there as a tour group. All was exceptional -- food, wine, service. Driving in, my group was a bit hesitant, but once we got to the sight, wow! And seeing all these awards on the wall, they are not given for nothing. Must visit when in the area.

I have visited Kream on many different occasions over the past years, but I have never reviewed it since so many have done so before. I would however do the owners, managers and staff a disservice by not adding my compliments to all the others. My most recent experience was a family dinner celebrating the birthday of my daughter in law and my own. It does not matter how many times one visits Kream, the experience is always superior to that of most establishments in the same category. The service is excellent with a dedicated waiters ensuring that you don't have to waive arms to attract their attention. The managers are hands-on. They will explain the menu and special dishes for the day in detail and will personally take the orders. I have never had any bad or mediocre food at Kream. From starters to Deserts are well prepared and beautifully presented. The wine list is extraordinary. Whether you plan a business lunch, light lunch with colleagues or friends, or a special occasion with friends and family, this should be your first choice. Although the prices are on the higher side, what you get is still good value for money.

Arrived not knowing what to expect other than a dinner reservation. What a setting, initially felt underdressed but not an issue, welcomed like a long lost friend.
What a setting, stylish upmarket but not pretentious, the menu was delightful but then the star arrived to surprise us with the specials, initial choice changed to the specials what a delight! & treat, the food was faultless presentation great & taste as promised.
If this was in the UK 3 AA Rosette standard, will without hesitation return & would like to take clients therre.
A great evening that !! Impeccable service with charm.

Reviewed By Kim G - Centurion, South Africa

We love many things on this restaurants menu but the sushi, in particular, is great. They have a good few creative combinations and the sashimi is top class. It has an authentic feel to it and beware the wasabi is real wasabi.

Had a very relaxing dinner with my wife. Great live jazz background music with fantastic views.
Calamari stater and shushi were fantastic!! Lamb rump was okay, I had the duck orange before which I my view is there signature dish! Coffee and desert good! Service always good and staff very attentive .
Best wine list in Jhb, but expect to pay top $!
Wine glasses are Riedel so worth spending on a expensive wine.
Well done! Signature is a special place regardless being expensive!!

Silver Orange Bistro

Reviewed By anri_bester - Johannesburg, South Africa

We didn’t book a table, not knowing this is pretty much needed over Sunday lunchtime. We were accommodated and a blanket was offered for our baby to sleep on. Craft beers and good wine list. No salads or light meals unfortunately. All gourmet food but Food needs to be balanced a bit more, the stuffed rolled chicken, and the salmon was a bit disappointing-stir fry only tasted of basting sauce and the salmon was a bit too fishy. Will be back though, best food we’ve had in hartebeespoort!!

Mosaic

Restaurant Mosaic at The Orient Private Hotel is this country’s finest destination restaurant and private hotel. Award-winning South African Chef Chantel Dartnall is known for presenting the art of nature on her plates through her botanical cuisine to take you on a culinary tour of pure indulgence. Bask in the sophisticated atmosphere of exotic spaces; an Oriental style oasis set in lush and tranquil 280h of the Francolin Conservancy.

Reviewed By Andrea A - Pretoria, South Africa

This restaurant has the best food we have ever eaten - an adventurous culinary journey. The best of all however is, that chef Chantal greets every guest personally in the beginning and end of the meal, which is so special. Even though Chantel is world renowned the humility with which she comes across is refreshing and humbling. The attention to detail in Mosaic and The Orient is something to behold. What an experience we had! Thank you so
much for having us! We will be back!

Reviewed By aldor737 - Tzaneen, South Africa

This is a very authentic Portuguese restaurant. The owner is omnipresent and makes a genuine attempt to ensure that the menu is explained to you. There are some very traditional Portuguese dishes such as goat, Bacalhau and various pork dishes. The best selection of Portuguese wines in South Africa. Recommended.
