priva lounge

this is probably my favourite restaurant in the whole of pretoria thus far. the owner, staff and front of house are incredible!! they know their menu’s, their food, wines, cocktails and cigars!! the menu is incredible! flavours spot on!!! and always a winner!! they have live entertainment at the end of the week! which shapes such a nice ambience. marko knows his wines and he wants you to have a good experience and time no matter what!!lovethis place and is a great place for a special occasion, just a drink or even if you just want to treat yourself for a meal.

a while back i had the privilege of attending a whiskey tasting and food pairing at priva. i fell inlovewith the look and feel of the restaurant, intimate and sexy. our hosts were extremely knowledgeable and hospitable, our chef keen to hear our opinions of the meals and whiskey flowing of course. all in all it will remain a memorable evening for me. and they served the best pork belly i am yet to have.

such a beautiful place. lovely atmosphere,lovelovelovethe setting and the live band sealed the deal.😍however i still feel priva needs to hire more staff as it is the festive season and more people will be coming more often. we had to keep on calling our waitress to assist us, which is bad for business. you can't assign 1 person to serve more than 5 tables. such a sophisticated place for such delays...that's a no no!!

i will be coming back again soon. hoping to have more f u n😀

mylovefor jazz lured me to priva lounge. unfortunately, we didn't eat and only had cocktails whilst listening to amazing live music. they also have a well-stocked cuban cigar lounge which is pretty cool, interesting and also quite rare in pta. wouldlovelove to go back for dinner and more jazz.

i only wish i had gotten there sooner. i am to blame.
decided to try this restaurant out as a treat, simply because it was my birthday. my biggest regret is that i didn't get there sooner.

such an amazing restaurant. the interior and decor are just gorgeous. sets the mood..loveit.

what a lovely place. i've been to ritrovo before but had no idea there above lies such a gem. this gorgeous lounge has such a beautiful view of the area. ilovethe intimate feel of the space and the stage set up for live entertainment. the delightful dessert we had makes me super keen to come back and sample some of their other dishes.

has a great vibe.had my last birthday lunch there with the girls and i had a fab time.lovelovethe food.its location is not so fab but the ambiance makes up for it #barmanrocks

fortunately, i entertain clients fairly frequently, and from time to time find a hidden gem. priva gastrolounge is certainly one. a client, my wife and i dined at priva last night after being recommended by my client. we arrived on time, were quickly seated and offered drinks. we ordered a bottle of sparkling water, and a  bottle of wine from their extensive wine list. after our drinks arrived, the manager ran us through the menu, explaining that you can order smaller portions of essentially the main meals as starters or mains, or a combination of both. ilovethis idea, as so often i am torn between deciding what to eat and often end up with "order envy". we all chose to sample several small mains. the manager was extremely helpful in assisting us on the order of service and believe he was spot on. between us we tried:scallops: superbly cooked and very well presentedcauliflower: puree accompanied with lightly battered and deep fried cauliflower. you just have to try this as it was sublimecured salmon: overall, it was good, without being brilliantfoie gras: outstanding. perfectly cooked and a generous portionfillet: beef fillet with a soya cream. quite honestly the finest tasting fillet of beef i have ever had. it's worth going here just for this. i actually considered ordering another portion for dessert.chocolate sphere pudding: very good indeedcheese cake: a deconstructed cheese cake accompanied by rooibos caviar, and different jellies. again, this was sublime.if i have 1 complaint, and afraid its too common in south african restaurants. imported bottled water. why on earth would anybody support foreign sourced water, pay for it to be collected, then put on a ship, then put on a truck and then finally delivered to a restaurant here in south africa. not only does it increase global warming, but we have to payr50 for 750ml. common, support local bottled water producers!!now that that's off my chest, a final word about priva, the setting is great and they have live jazz from wednesday to sunday. i will most certainly be going back!!
