tin roof cafe

friendly service, food was excellent. very tasteful and well presented. great atmosphere. would definitely recommended this restaurant for any occasion.

best pizza ever!! i had the chicken pizza it was surely amazing and so fresh!! can't wait to try the rest of the menu!! the outside dining area is so relaxed and beautiful garden setting! love the fairy lights at night, the atmosphere is extraordinary!!

awesome. food was divine. set up is great. chilled atmosphere. welcoming was warm. service was very good. not so far away from town either.

in short, i would definitely go again & would recommend.

tin roof cafe is one of the restaurants with the most beautiful aesthetics and ambiance i have been to. as you park and get out of your car realizing you are away from the rush of the town life, one is greeted by the gorgeous fairy lights in the trees, the old school yet classic water feature and rustic farm house building! the owner/ manager is always friendly and one feels very welcomed to be there. the seating area inside and out has a great feel to it and one forgets all about the busy day you had! especially after a glass of wine on their exquisite and very reasonable wine list. the menu is wide and they often have specials! my experience here was very good! they were a bit short on staff so our poor waiter was a bit overwhelmed but he did well despite that. i really hope they change the menu a bit in the future as its always good but hasn't really changed in a long time, making frequent visits hard to try new things! i definitely recommend this place. it is an old favorite and i certainly will be returning!

i'm going to start this review quite differently, i'm starting with dessert. the most amazing dessert of the year certainly was this beautifully balanced tiramisu cheesecake. if someone is a lover of coffee and cheesecake it doesn't get better than this. these ladies sure are doing an excellent job. the setting is so so so nice. the risotto is one of the best in pretoria after viva vitas seafood risotto! full of flavor. but with that in mind, i actually invite whoever is going here to please try their rump. yassssss it's the best steak i've had this year. cooked to perfection. i had to ask my partner if it wasn't fillet because it was so perfectly soft and beautiful. i would say that the pizzas however are quite mediocre. i will certainly return here to try the rest of the menu.

went to tin roof cafe for my birthday dinner and i don't regret it one bit.
this place is almost an hour drive from home and on the way i kept thinking to myself - i hope the food is good since we driving so far 😂
please do take note that you do have to go on a small patch of gravel road, at this point we actually thought we were lost but i guess those adventure instincts just kicked in.

tin roof cafe is a lovely farm/country setting restaurant. the lady that served us was just amazing with a smile on her face and you could just see how enthusiastic and passionate she was about what she did.

we had a chicken and fig pizza with avocado for starters.
then we proceeded to mains and our preeminent thing we came for was the risotto. the lady suggested we try the grilled beef rump padano risotto with biltong, feta and portabellini mushroom sauce. this was the highlight of the evening. the way they prepared the risotto so well and the beef rump was cooked just the way we wanted it. the mushroom sauce was just divine. the food presentation is on its own so good.

for dessert we opted for the tiramisu cheesecake drizzled with a decadent chocolate sauce - found on the specials menu. one bite and i knew what i was in for. silky smooth texture and the coffee flavor just comes out. really enjoyed it and will definitely take the long drive to pay them a visit again :)

tin roof cafe is one of those venues where you have to make a booking to avoid disappointment.

the setting is really nice and out of town. absolutely stunning on a sunny winters day.

we had salads to share as a starter. the combinations were quite different, interesting and very tasty.

the mains were just as stunning and the above average service made our day. their risotto is by far the best in pretoria.

there is more than enough reason to return 😄😄

i honestly don't mind giving 5 stars where 5 stars are due. this nonsense of people won't take the review seriously can fly a kite! 5 star means - excellent. and that is exactly what this experience was. beautiful setting, great service, great value for money and amazing food! staff are on point and very attentive and great to see the kind of passion for a business like this. do yourself a favour and make the 20 min trip from pretoria and go to this gem.

this restaurant is absolutely amazing. it is rare to find a restaurant with both excellent food and service.

the location is a little out of the way. however, the restaurant is charming and perfect for a sunday lunch or date night.

we started with the rosemary focaccia, the tropical pizza, calamari, holloumi, pear and prosciutto salad.

we had the rack the lamb, chicken under a brick, chicken scallopini, pizza nomu and fillet pepper steak as our mains.

the dishes were superb and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.

i'm looking forward to yet another dining experience there.

i've been wanting to try this place out for a while, and what a gem it is! from the hearty welcome you receive at the door, right through to the very last bite of yummy food, it's a lovely experience. the specials menu is definitely worth trying out - i had a fresh and flavorful springbok salad to start, and both my mother and i had pork belly mains. the mains are massive portions, but too good not to finish. the wine selection is fair. i will be returning - i've earmarked a few dishes that i simply must try out. sunday lunch won't be the same again!

this review is overdue and thinking about it was definitely one of my best experiences of the year! i looked for a restaurant out of town to take my in-laws (visiting from glasgow) and we were not disappointed. on a friday afternoon, down a fairly long dirt road, a beautiful tin roof building with gardens, a warm & generous welcome, horses in a nearby field, birds singing and beetles chirping .. idyllic. we spent a beautiful afternoon in the garden having a long, lazy, lovely lunch ! we started with poppers which i am not sure are still on the menu - yummy - then i had steak with peppercorn sauce and the in-laws both chose chicken scaloppine, my husband had the norwegian salmon absolutely fabulous, there was nothing left on our plates & if polite company allowed i think we may have licked them !! and then for dessert i had the passion pavlova which was sublime .. service was attentive, thoughtful & efficient. my mother-in-law is still talking about our meal 2 months later !

heard about the tin roof café from a friend and when i phoned to book for a sunday lunch was told they were full ...... had to be good.  had lunch there today and was totally blown away by the gorgeous setting, incredible staff and amazing food.  an absolute gem and one of pretoria's best kept secrets.  i plan on returning until i have worked myself through the entire menu!!!

what a hidden gem in pretoria. went here for a family lunch, and i was totally surprised by this cute place. lovely outside area. relaxing atmosphere, great tasting food and good service. what more do you need. ;)

incredible experience. i did not know that food could taste this good. between my wife and i: calamari, mussels, pizza, pork duo, chocolate brownie.. everyone needs to visit this incredible place that seems to be exceptionally well managed and hands on. thank you.

this cute restaurant was one of my favourites of all time. such a stunning setting, a warm welcome by the owner and very attentive service. the food tasted great, the wine went down so well while we overlooked all the other happy diners peacefully enjoying their sunday lunch. all in all it was a great experience and we will definitely be back. thank you
