Delicious food and friendly atmosphere. Unique in Pretoria. The owners, Jackie and Allain are welcoming and quite hospitable. Keep up the good work.

This place is quite a cosy surprise in the city. A lovey fireplace keeps the winter at bay and the owner and waiters are all very accommodating. The menu contains some interesting finds, I thoroughly enjoyed the peanut sauce chicken dish. Our french class humans come here once a semester for an end-of-semester celebration and they make us a nice long table and entertain all our noise and games. The food is slightly pricey, for example R50 for a small plate of plantain bananas, but most of the dishes' portions justify the price. I really encourage to order together and share all the wonderfully unknown dishes on a table

This is a place to go if you know someone who is a regular there. Otherwise you are left feeling like an outsider. In the middle of winter like this they blatantly refused to light the fire place. The waitress point blank lied and said there's no firewood when the stack was just outside the door of the restaurant.
You are only welcome if you speak French as that's what the waitresses speak. They do not give you the time of day to take your order. Thank goodness I was with my family from the DRC the two times I went there otherwise it would have been a whole lot worse. Who would believe one of the waitresses made sure to give everyone around the table water to wash their hands and skipped me purposefully?! It had to take someone from our table to call her back!! So disappointing.

The food is delicious and fresh. Loved the lamb stew, with Saka Saka and pap. Oh and the fish is amazing! Definitely the place to go for a warm, grounded Sunday lunch or Cozy Diner with the family. African cuisine!
