My husband took me there recently for a special dinner. The staff and manager were very accommodating. I am difficult when it comes to my food choices as I am a picky eater. My husband viewed the menu online and therefore expected that there will be dishes served that I eat. Upon arrival and looking at the menu for the first time I started getting nervous as there wasn't something I would usually eat. After my little panic attack, I decided I would try some of the items. To my surprise it was excellent. The size of the portions were just big enough for me to enjoy a three course meal without feeling overly stuffed. Thank you for a great evening. I would recommend updating your websites menu as a lot of customers expect to have items on that menu and to save some panic attacks.

I think it is important to weigh your rating with a value for money factor. For what you pay at De Kloof, the food meet expectations, but you expect a little bit more. With that in mind:

The food was very tasty and I enjoyed every meal. A starter dish of liver pate trio, mains of braised pork belly and a coconut themed dessert. They have a really nice wine list. The waitress/service was fair but not excellent. The restrooms are a little run down and there was no toilet paper in the ladies'. We went for lunch and I would recommend a dinner there - they were still preparing for dinner so there was not ambience. We were also seemingly the only patrons. If there was a rating between average and very good - I'd have rather put them there.

The place has good food and great views. But more expensive than similar quality restaurants in Pretoria.

The food and drinks were of excellent standard as expected from a restaurant like de Kloof. How ever the menu we received at the restaurant differed from the one on the website, which in today's day and age of technology is not acceptable. We base our choice of where we dine on the menu displayed on the website. We were disappointed that items were left off the menu given that we specifically wanted to order. Otherwise still an excellent restaurant for fine dining.

I love the burgers here. They're all very unique & extremely tasty. It's on the golf course with lots of outdoor seating so you can enjoy the sunshine & the view while sipping cider, glass of wine or cold beer
