Food is a vital part of any travel experience. It’s often difficult to choose restaurants and cafés in an unfamiliar place with guarantee that they will be good. Pretoria in South Africa is the perfect place to go restaurant or café-hopping.
You’ll find that Pretoria restaurants or cafés have their own charm, even if they are franchises.
Here’s a list of 4 must-visit restaurants and cafés for when you find yourself in Pretoria, South Africa.
1. Mythos
Location: Franchise
Recommendation: Seafood pasta, strawberry daiquiri
Mythos is a Greek restaurant that can be found all over South Africa. They serve you the best of Greek traditional cuisine and anyone who loves seafood will definitely enjoy their dishes. The atmosphere in the restaurant is also good and they sometimes break plates and switch the mood up, too.
2. Khaleo
Location: The Club, Hazelwood
Recommendation: Brisket Benedict, melktert latte, French fries
Khaleo is a quaint brunch café that offers new twists on classic brunch options. I had the brisket Benedict that honestly melted in your mouth and a melktert latte that felt like a warm hug. The staff was super friendly as well!

Whether you’re going for the coffee, gelato, other numerous desserts, or a hearty lunch, Aroma is the perfect cozy restaurant to spend some quality time with friends and family. There are several branches where you can hang out and they also have dedicated laptop zones for those who want to get some work done.
I personally enjoyed their gelato, they had a number of interesting flavors and their offering changes every so often. For Easter 2022 they had one Easter chocolate flavor and one marshmallow Easter egg flavor that was especially delicious. Make sure to check them out during special seasons!
They also have excellent service!
