One of the best cafes in Pretoria, if not Gauteng. The setting is the urban scruffery of Sunnyside, a suburb with a bad reputation, but thankfully this also means a sight of local life. The menu changes daily with whatever is fresh. The owner, Lientjie, is always friendly and the dishes always fresh but filling. A good sign for me is if a place does a side salad which you actually want to eat and these guys definitely do that. They do delicious cakes, inventive brunch meals and more international fare as well

Toni's pizza in Pretoria north have amazing and unique flavour combinations, which are pretty hard to find in the pta generally. The pizzas are stonebaked and the bases deliciously crisp, as they should be. Try the following, one of my favourites:

Prawns with lemon and garlic butter, fennel seeds and rocket.

Lovely Afro-chic themed restaurant in the enormous Menlyn Park Shopping Centre in the eastern suburbs of Pretoria. The menu (as with many South African restaurants) is large and varied and the food top quality. The house speciality ostrich brie was delicious and all washed down with a good South African red. The only drawback is the suburban shopping centre location, however the food is definitely worth it.

Spread over nearly 80 hectares, these gardens in the east of the city is a perfect sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of the city. Extensive trails make it great for walking and birdwatchers will have a good time sighting the many different species. The Mokha restuarant overlooks the wetlands and serves great food, especially the buffet on Sundays, in beautiful surrounds. A section is dedicated to African medicinal plants and provides a interesting insight into South African culture.
