The best restaurant in Mzanzi by far! Food and Wine absolutely divine.
La Pentola...An oasis in a sea of mediocre restaurants

We absolutely love La Pentola!!! The fusion Chef, Shane Sauvage, has even made his legacy known in Stellenbosch. I have been told this by my daughter who currently studies there, and aparantly it is a favourite among students when on holiday in Pretoria.
As for my own experience, I was firstly baffled by the friendly welcome we received as my wife and I entered the door. This was then followed by a refreshing welcome drink and the menu practically performed for us. after deciding on the Afro Parision salad for my wife, and the Aztec Mushrooms for myself, the great service continued by keeping our glasses full and the conversation flowing. Before we knew it, the startes were on the table, accompanied by fresh home made bread.These delicious startes were followed by an intermediate sorbet, which I was told by our waiter, is used to cleanse the palette. Then came the main course of my perfecly prepared San Antonio Fillet(flamed at the table and served with a pepper sauce), and my wifes Lobster tails, which were purely orgasmic.
All in all, I must say that it was one of the most memorable and tasteful meals I have ever had! Sadly, we could not find space for dessert as the portions are very generous, but we have already made a date to return and have the dessert first.
Thank You La Pentola for making our wedding anniversary a night to remember and relive.
Best restaurant in Pretoria!

Definitely the best! If you haven't experienced a gourmet dinner at La Pentola yet, you miss out big time!!
A lovely experience.....

The exquisite food and our amazing waitress Deidre made for a wonderful dining experience. It was also extremely well priced. The room however, in my opinion lacked any ambiance and was way too warm.
