hemingway's restaurant & wine cellar

such a pretty restaurant. it gives off a fine dining cafe vibe. decorated with fresh flowers, very polite staff.greatmenu selection. amazing pasta. simple food made beautiful.

my friends hosted my baby shower here, what a stunning place withgreatfood. enjoyed it, and looking forward to going back for the whiskey tasting

cozy and cute place(esp. for showers). service wasgreatso was the cake. food was fair. might need to go again to confirm how i feel about the food.

this restaurant is quite a hidden gem .

the restaurant is quite sophisticated and fine dinning styled - with its tablecloths and dimmed chandeliers but i felt the setting at times a little cold as it does lack in bit ambiance - definatley ask to be near the fire place as it gives that extra little feeling of intimacy and warmth.

the food does not disappoint -the  kitchen creates some exciting dishes as well as just turning out some  great classics .i've enjoyed the lamb here on a few occasions.
the staff are always so friendly and willing to cater to your requests so that you have the best possible experience- when you are stuffed from dinner but just have to have dessert they will make up a little dessert board selection so you can enjoy a variety of flavours . that alone for me is a win.

hemingways team i salute you and thank you.

we are huge fans of hemingways and was priviliged to be invited to a zomato meet-up event a couple of weeks ago.  it is such a beautiful venue, and with the classic white tableclothes and cozy leather couches and fireplace in the corner it is such a fabulous restaurant for a delicious dinner out.  my foodie friends and i had agreattime, must be one of my favourite nights out in a long time!  the food, as usual, was simply scrumptious (my favourite was the duck bitterballen i had as starter), and the wine selection on par. hemingways is definitely one of my favourite restaurants in pretoria - especially for special occassions.  a real treat!  thanks for having us!

pretoria as the capital has so little options to experience fine dining that fits one’s pocket. hemingway’s restaurant at leriba lodge is surely one of those little unexplored gems. stepping through the doors at hemingway’s you are immediately inundated with the sophistication and elegance of their table settings. i have a thing for crisp white tables and serviettes. add to that service with a smile or even smiles. waiters that caters to your every whim, friendly, available and their attention to the table was a good balance between overprotective hovering and the vanishing act. being a special evening, we celebrated a birthday and man was this an amazing evening.

we were treated by amazing red wines from doolhof wine estate and their range is ever impressing. the food was undoubtedly one of my best food experiences i enjoyed in a long time. starters consisted of a beautiful carpaccio served fresh with a quails egg. beautiful. main course offered us a lovely crisp pork-belly prepared to perfection. the plating and presentation is top notch and they surely know how to prepare their food. dessert was equally impressive and the ever-classic creme brûlée did not disappoint! a sugary crunch with delightful light and creamy custard sent me to foodie heaven! hemingway’s is a sure stop for amazing food and is agreatcatalyst for good conversation.

the centurion area is busy with it’s own rejuvenation process when it comes to good food, restaurants and unique cuisine. hemingways is sure getting it right. they are also a good venue for weddings, family events and they regularly host tastings and festivals. well done guys, you won my tastebuds and i will most definitely see you again soon. your new fan. so people, all i have to say is…. go! now!

an excellent experience all round! each dish enjoyed by our group was a win. the wine list was broad and very well curated. the little palate cleansers in between each course were a lovely surprise, something i haven't seen in a while. all that wouldn't have made such an impression, however, without the highly knowledgeable and professional staff. what agreatteam!👌
well done! i'll definitely be coming back with friends for a special meal out 😁

loved it! was a bit sceptical at first...very fancy restaurant. we went with friends for the restaurant week special...3 course meal. it was great...had the best seared salmon in pretoria. it was perfectly done...we had agreatbottle of wine. our men had the fillet with spinach risotto...was great.

you will find hemingway’s restaurant and wine cellar inside the grounds of leriba lodge. its a beautifully decorated elegant restaurant.greatfor if you're looking for a romantic evening out. the staff are really welcoming and very friendly, the service is really outstanding. we came for a wine pairing evening and had a wonderful time, the guest speakers where very informative and we loved that the chef came out and explained the food that was served. the food was delicious and beautifully presented. really top notch!

hemingways... what can i say it pretty much lives up to its name! ernest hemingway what a legend and this place is legendary. from the moment you walk in service is beyond excellent. our waiter micheal who has been there since its opening in 2009 was such agreathost and adviser. he knew what he was talking about. i ate the braised lamb shank with apple purée, ratatouille veg and brandy mint jus... soft to the bone, the meat literally falling off! vegetables lacking but none the less amazing ;))) my friend ate the seafood pasta - she was very impressed with the prawns,calamari & mussels cooked to perfection. spices being very complimentary to the dish, the dish being perfectly sized and justgreatflavors. we opted to share the dessert amarula chocolate mousse and almond cheesecake. the mousse was not very moussy to my liking as it was always one of my all time favorite desserts. all and all the service is impeccable,greatfood very happy customer! if you live nearby do yourself a favor and try it out !! ;)

we were served by a lovely waiter!greatfood delivered to us and was presented beautifully! prices were reasonable and we will definitely be back!

despite the car park location, hemingways is a charming location for a laid back breakfast or lunch, or a cozy dinner. the decor is light and refreshing with a magnificent bar in the inside section. the food is outstanding and cocktails are new and different. highly recommend their fish and burgers.greatspot.

i honestly expected more. granted, we were won over merely because of the restaurant's title, but one also expects somethinggreatat the price we were paying. the service was okay, the food alright and overall we had a good evening, but we could've gotten the same at a mugg and bean.

went to hemingways for a special dinner with my wife and mother. everyone's food looked so appetising i had to taste and i would have been happy with any of the mains that arrived at the table.greatwine selection, very good service, we were given our own private space because there was a big function at the restaurant. with the big crowd we didn't wait long for our meals. excellently managed.

what an awesome place. hubby and i needed a night away from the kids and for people who are use to spur this was really worthwhile. nice and cosy little place withgreatservice. only reason i am not giving a 5 is because they didn't have the wine we chose from the menu in stock.
