brasserie de paris

if you are looking for a fine-diningrestaurantin pretoria with a stunning location, outstanding food, and an incredible atmosphere, brasserie de paris is unmatched.

very good choice for an anniversary dinner date. therestauranthas a unique ambiance with a relaxed atmosphere. the food was excellent and paired with good friendly service.

fine dining that caters to vegetarians? that equals culinary heaven for me, and the food and service at thisrestaurantcan certainly be described as heavenly. the history of the building is fascinating, along with the uiqiue architecture, which adds to the allure of the overall experience.

the service is outstanding!

the food, every morsel was divine and thoroughly enjoyed.

we are going back this weekend, and taking friends to share in this discovery of lovely french cuisine in pretoria!

supreme service, great food!! nothing beats arestaurantthat serves food made with passion and served with pride. my favoriterestaurantin pretoria. the setting is beautiful and it is always a pleasure to dine at brasserie de paris

what a treat!
it seems almost industrial from the outside, but you are greeted to a warm interior and excellent and friendly service.
salmon starter delectable. marrow bones homely and well prepared.
mains skate wing fresh and treated with respect, the fish remained the star.
trio of lamb a winner...the men would've just loved more of it.
selection of desserts and a cheese board a perfect ending, accompanied by a bottle of klein constantia dessert wine, a night to remember and arestaurantto recommend. thank you and well done!

would give a 4.7 rating.   4.5 does not really do it justice but closest to a 4.7

had dinner at there on thursday evening. limited parking on the inside. property very unique and interesting. solid expensive architecture. just have a look at the arched ceiling built with face bricks. 

pleasant and warm ambiance. soft french music playing. a few small dining rooms with beautiful decor. elegant furniture and colours. perfect for a romatic dinner or executive business dinner.

had the butternut soup, chateaubriand, green beans, pommes frites and béarnaise; and crème brûlée. the meat quality and preparation was excellent. the crème brûlée was delicious. as a man i just think the food portions are smaller than arestaurantlike delices de france where the food is equally good.

can recommend therestaurantanytime for a special occasion.

thisrestauranthas by far the best service i have ever had in a south african restaurant. it is a classic frenchrestaurantthat offers a la carte and set menu options with an impressive wine list.

we reserved the rooftop terrace for an anniversary dinner. it is beautiful and understated without​ the pomp and circumstance of some of the other places in the area. when it started to rain, we were immediately offered a cosy table downstairs. they went out of their way to make us feel special (including hand made truffles on a specially decorated plate after dinner).

we had the set menu with wine pairing. the dishes were exquisite (the cold melon soup was something special), and the pairings included a selection of local and international wines.

overall, i was blown away by the excellent service, tasty food and laid-back cool atmosphere. can't wait to go back!

this unique upmarket frenchrestaurantis tucked away in a historic and architecturally significant building within the affluent suburb of waterkloof.

the atmosphere is romantic and special - you definitely cannot go wrong to book a table here for a private and intimate meal.

the dinner menu changes frequently, so be sure to check in advance if you have any dietary requirements.

our service on the night was almost uncomfortably polite - a fine diningrestaurantshould not have waiting staff that seem uncertain of themselves and almost apologetic. treat your diners like you'd treat a friend - that's my opinion.

anyway, the food:

amuse bouche of oysters - pretty good and straight forward. the soup starter was alright. followed by a foie gras millefeuille which was excellent.

mains - grilled salmon and pork fillet.
unfortunately nothing extraordinary... i understand it's fine dining, but the portions were way too small compared to other restaurants of this caliber.

followed by a cheese plate - the croutons that accompanied the dish were a tad stale.

finally, the dessert, which redeemed the meal.

another thing that i found strange regarding the service, was when i asked for a paper serviette, the waitress brought me a stash of toilet paper - that she'd removed from the roll in the wc. very unprofessional i would say, but also a bit funny.

anyway, the place remains an icon in pretoria, and is worth a visit.

ps: make sure you don't sit at the table located by the kitchen door as it gets way too noisy and you can hear the chef yelling in the kitchen.

thisrestaurantis located at an unconventional house with a unique architectural design, with the beautiful sound of flowing water and a rather traditional yet stylish interior. therestaurantstaff are pleasant and the service is good. we had the gazpacho soup and bread, complimentary from the chef. for mains, we had the trio of beef fillet and the vegetarian ratatouille. both dishes were beautifully presented. the trio of beef fillet was good with the marrow being very tasty. the ratatouille was equally good. overall, we enjoyed our meals. hoping to go back soon to try their 5 course degustation menu.

valentines day lunch was exceptionally disappointing bearing in mind this is such a gorgeous venue. there was no recognition whatsoever that this was valentines day, the service was appalling, due possibly to the fact that service was included in the fixed price, but most importantly, the food itself was poor in construction, presentation and flavour. thisrestaurantunfortunately no way represents french haute cuisine as it claims. the glorious venue does very little to remedy its basic culinary deficiencies. a spoilt opportunity.

what a lovelyrestaurantexperience! great atmosphere paired with delicious food and a perfect bottle of wine! excellent service too!
a true hidden gem!

impressive setting in waterkloof. it was our first time to visit thisrestaurantand upon entry we waited for a few minutes without service. this was due to our own misunderstanding and not knowing the place and knowing we should take the stairs up. the service was very good and staff well trained and understood the menu. food was very well presented and very nice and tasty. we did not eat from the pre-set wine pairing menu but rather ordered from the ala carte menu. i had the goats cheese starter which was very tasty and quite rich as goats cheese should be. my wife had the salmon tartare and was very impressed. for mains we both had the trio of fillet. my wife requested her fillet to be rare and i ordered mine blue. the chef got this slighty wrong as both orders were overcooked but still very tasty nontheless. the chef prepared me a chocolate fondant for desert which i saw on the website menu but was no longer available on therestaurantmenu. it was faultless. my wife had her usual creme brulee and enjoyed it very much. the selection of wines is sufficient but not very large compared yo otherrestaurantcellars. i also missed a few trusted and known names from the winelist and i found the wines on the list a bit on the expensive side for what you get. all this is understandable taking into account the type of establishment thisrestaurantrepresents. it was overall a good fine dining experience. we enjoyed the food and friendly staff and afterwards enjoyed relaxing in the bar area.

in the middle of waterkloof suburbia you will find this hidden gem of a restaurant. thisrestauranthas a special and intimate feel with great service and really good food. the house is also a treat to explore and having your coffee on the roof to end your night is an extra advantage. the food is french cuisine, but you won't go home feeling hungry, definitely worth paying a little extra. we had the 5 course degustation menu with wine included and it was delicious. come here to treat yourself to something special.

although i've only been to brasserie de paris once, a few years ago, the experience was unforgettable. i was still in high school & my french teacher took us there on a class outing. we had a set menu (i had a vegetarian one) & the food was trés magnifique!  somehow i can still taste the thyme sorbet and the impressive crème brûlée whenever i think about that night. i remember the meat eating students raving about the poulet they had. the atmosphere was lovely and my teacher even arranged a movie (faubourg 36) for us to watch and discuss during dinner. the evening was truly memorable and i think this particular experience was what made me realise what fine dining really is. right now, on my student budget, i doubt i'd be a regular at brasserie de paris any time soon. but hopefully thisrestaurantwill still be with us for many years to come so that everyone can have a taste of france.

at one stage brasserie was my go torestaurantfor dates. however in recent years it has become inconsistent in both service and food. the wine list is good and the locations architecture is appealing to me. the architecture and decor of the restaurant/building although dark has always been appealing to me. come on bdp get it back to what it was...please.
