The Italian-Style Edition Of Romantic Restaurants Pretoria

Romantic Restaurant PretoriaOff-hand, you may be able to think of a few romantic restaurants in Pretoria, but mention Italy and they all pale by comparison; who can compete with the image of a dreamy Italian village?  Of course, for the average South African, Italy would make for a hideously expensive dinner outing but that does not mean that all is lost, because in the east of Pretoria, of all places, lies a beautiful boutique hotel built in the unmistakable style of an Italian village – and they just so happen to have a splendid restaurant.

Famous Restaurant

In fact, this boutique hotel's restaurant has achieved legendary status for the many culinary delights it offers and for many years, Gauteng's high society has escaped to this tranquil little Italian corner of Pretoria to try out the latest delights on the ever-evolving menu.  Outstanding service, sophistication and quality have become the hallmarks of this restaurant and it continues to offer an enviable blend of adventurous dishes for those willing to try something different as well as catering for the conservative palate.

Romantic Restaurant PretoriaUnlike some romantic restaurants in Pretoria, this one offers a choice of no fewer than three dining rooms and the library is ideal for a scrumptious breakfast (it can also be used for a breakfast presentation if you wish to host a business event here).  The Cellar is a genuine cellar with a wonderfully intimate atmosphere and this is the perfect place for dinner; the Monza is another imminently stylish option.

Top-class Cuisine

While the atmosphere is equal or better to any of the other romantic restaurants in Pretoria, it would all come to naught if the culinary experience did not exceed your expectations.  There are comprehensive buffet, a la carte and dessert menus to indulge your every fantasy.  To whet your appetite, here are a few examples of the starters on offer:

  • Citrus and Rooibos smoked springbok Carpaccio (with strawberry jelly, parmesan, rocket and lemon oil)
  • Grilled Haloumi (with preserved lemon, beetroot Carpaccio, rocket and avocado)
  • Salmon ceviche (with olive tapenade, sesame-coated mozzarella, chilli, capers and micro greens)
  • Waldorf and prawn salad (with celery, apple, tempura prawn and port reduction, grapes and walnuts)

These are just a few starters to set the scene at what is already one of the most romantic restaurants in Pretoria.  This is only reinforced by the decadent main meals on offer, among which are:

  • Duo of duck (with a delectable curried apricot sauce)
  • Several beef options (fillet, sirloin steak and a special char-grilled fillet with truffle and mushroom sauce)
  • Braised lamb shank (on sun-dried tomato & fennel, minted couscous and cumin dressing)
  • Braised pork belly (with chilli and butter bean salad)
  • Vegetarian dishes (like mushroom, capsicum and feta strudel or country vegetable curry)
  • Pasta dishes (like spaghetti meatballs or penne Capri)

Not many of the romantic restaurants in Pretoria can offer you such choice cuisine crafted to perfection by a professional team and Executive Chef.  Take your better half out on a romantic dinner in an Italian setting that you will surely never forget.  Contact us today.
