  • 5/5 Ceejay E. 1 year ago on Google • 163 reviews
    I had an exceptional dining experience at this Italian South African fusion restaurant! The main courses were a delightful blend of flavors that left my taste buds dancing with excitement. The salads and veggies were fresh and perfectly complemented the main dishes. The drinks menu was impressive, offering a variety of refreshing options to pair with our meal. The waitstaff provided top-notch service, and the involved manager passionately introduced us to the daily specials, showcasing his deep love for the restaurant. I appreciated that the service was prompt but not rushed, allowing us to savor every moment. The interior decor added to the overall ambiance, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. I can't wait to return and explore more of their culinary creations!

    Absolutely wow! Perfect setting. The Manager still goes around recommending dishes. To date the best vegan menu I've ever come across. Dhal and spinach prepared to perfection... like my Mama made it! Compliments to the Chef, Manager and Waiter!

    My wife and I went here on an impromptu date night to celebrate some recent good family events. Fortunately we went in the late afternoon and they had a table for us; I would definitely recommend reservations in the future! The thing that impressed us the most was that the people who came to talk to us about the menu and specials were extremely knowledgeable about the food, and could make recommendations based on what you like. This is not something that we've found often in SA. Everything we had was very good. If one thing stood out it was the cheesecake. It's a German style, which I had not had before. It's quite possibly the best I have eaten. Very light but not crumbly, the perfect density and texture. It's worth going back just for that!

    Overall the experience was great. Nice ambience. Food was good. Calamari Portuguesesa ans snails was really good. Waitress was friendly and nice. Only negative was the meals came very quick which felt a bit rushed. Didn't really get time to enjoy the main meal.

    Loved everything except my main. But I think I'll go back someday and try a different plate , maybe it was just a bad choice from me.

    A place where every bite reflects the quality that Pachas is so famous for, and launches one, through a gastronomical event, into a Heavenly adventure. Tantalising tastes that are indescribable. You just have to experience it for one's self. Pachas has been a part of our lives for more than 20 years. Managed to perfection with personal interaction to discuss recommendations. Service impeccable 👌 👏

    Banting Friendly We were first introduced to Pachas by a friend 10 years ago, we have continued to celebrate most our special occasions from that time to date. Last night they blew my socks off when I told them I was Banting, the chef specifically made delicious Banting veggies & salad for me to enjoy with my Eisbein! We always drive all the way from Midstream to get there as their consistency when it comes to taste and service is secondary to none. It’s world class! They pay attention to every detail, thank you 😊

    Pachas will be an exceptional experience every time. From the service to the food and the atmosphere. The staff are amazing and attention to detail is like second nature to them. The person that presents the specials is like a food poet, from the moment he starts you will feel like ordering everything. The food is exactly like he explains it, from a different universe. I can honestly say this is one of the best restaurants in town!!

    Amazing service, with the most amazing food and best tasting cheesecake I’ve had in Pretoria so far. Had the chef’s recommendation and I enjoyed every bite of my meal. Was truly one of the best dinning experiences I’ve had thus far. Expect to pay for quality that is so worth the price.

    An incredible evening spent indulging in fine dining. The quality of the cuisine served here was simply on a different culinary level. The carpaccio is an absolute must-order item! The ambiance is one of refined sophistication and devoted attention. We celebrated our anniversary in this location, and it turned out to be the best choice. We Even got a special surprise from the restaurant in the form of free Italian kisses for our anniversary.

    Looking for a fine dining experience in Pretoria? Look no further than Pachas, you Def get the wow factor at this restaurant. Food is out of this world. I would highly recommend Pachas to anyone on my friends list. We shared our 6 year wedding anniversary and it truly lived up to its reputation in the restaurant industry. You will be seeing us more often.

    What an awesome restaurant. You have the attention of the staff from when you walk in. They are well mannered and polite and make you feel important. We were a table of 6 and all of us enjoyed the atmosphere, the food and the staff. Our waiter Andrew was knowledgeable and helpful. What an amazing taste experience. Flavours to die for. A wonderful variety of dishes to suit all our tastes. We had a great evening

    Delicious food, awesome service, awesome atmosphere and not heavily overpriced which makes this restaurant one of my top favorites and the beat value for money. The Kingklip ia the beat I've had, even in comparison to other fine dining restaurants. Lovely experience

    Very good service! Very good food. Kudu and tuna carpaccio was delicious. Try something you would not eat anywhere else. Very romantic setting. Try to go without kids under the age of 12.

    Best Place we have been to in a long time, Friendly Staff. Appreciated the Owner taking the time out to chat to us and also to advise on the House Specials... Which was awesome by the way.

  • 4/5 Ruben B. 4 weeks ago on Google • 22 reviews New
    Pachas is a gem in an area brimming with excellent dining options, yet we always find ourselves returning here. It's the kind of place where you want to indulge in a full three-course meal. Yes, it’s on the pricier side, but believe me, the quality justifies every cent. The food is nothing short of extraordinary—think steaks so tender they practically melt in your mouth, and a selection of meats that fall off the bone with ease. Their starters are as impressive as their mains, with a wide array of choices that each have a unique twist. A standout is the deep-fried camembert paired with a berry reduction—just one example of how they elevate classic dishes. The service at Pachas is consistently top-notch. The staff exude genuine warmth and seem genuinely happy to be there, adding to the overall positive experience. You feel well taken care of from the moment you walk in. The reason for the 4/5 rating? While the restaurant is typically busy, especially during peak times like Valentine's Day, it can sometimes feel a bit rushed. If you’re someone who enjoys a leisurely dining experience, I’d recommend mentioning this to your waiter to ensure a more relaxed pace between courses. The atmosphere is wonderful, with pleasant background music that complements the dining experience. Just be sure to book in advance, as this popular spot fills up quickly.

    We celebrated my husband's birthday with friends. The personnel at Pacha's made it such a special event by allocating a private room that seated the 10 of us very comfotably. All our guests remarked on how special and spoilt they felt. The service, food and ambiance were all outstanding. Geat appreciation to all involved at Pacha's. Susan O'Kennedy

    It is a pleasure to write this review. We had our son’s 21st bday celebration last night (24 Feb) at Pachas. It was a group of 14 young adults. We booked the private venue and opted for a set menu. All the staff is so professional and friendly, but I have to highlight the waitress, Tatjana. She was exceptional and I could leave everything to her. She kept an eye on the budget, served, took photos etc. I am so grateful to her, really. The food was so tasty, the atmosphere great. My son and his friends had a good celebration that will be remembered for long. Thank you Pachas and Tatjana.

  • 5/5 Wikus S. 2 years ago on Google
    Took my wife for our anniversary during the week. Literally the best food I have ever had. We had Cod and Lamb shank that wasn't on the menu. The pan fried potatoes alone deserve a 5 star review. We were served by Andrew which made sure our glases stayed full all night. We really had a very enjoyable experience and would definitely go again. And probably again after that.

  • 5/5 Francois G. 8 months ago on Google
    We had an exceptional meal as part of the Christmas set menu. Several options were available for starters, main meals and desserts. The food service was fast especially for such a busy day and the food was great! I can really recommend this for a family meal on Christmas day.

    Back after a long time and realized what we were missing. Still at the top of their game. Well done Team Pachas

  • 5/5 Adriaan Van Der H. 2 years ago on Google
    You don't need a special celebration to visit Pachas. Visiting Pachas is a special celebration. Some of the best meals I have ever had. On point every single time. The taste, the presentation, attention to detail together with friendly waiters, managers, the atmosphere and intimate setting, Pachas will quickly steal your heart (And taste buds). Their lunch menu is probably the best value for money in SA at the moment. At the end of your visit you might leave Pachas, but Pachas never leaves you :-)

    Had an amazing time, great vibe, excellent service and AMAZING food. We got a fillet and calamari mains. Had oysters for starters and they were tasty! 100% recommend.

  • 5/5 Roger W. 1 year ago on Google
    Mind-blowing! Fantastic food, a great wine selection and exceptional service combined with prices which, while high, are not ridiculous given the quality and quantity of the servings, make this a great venue for special occasions. The maitre d'hotel who comes around and explains the specials is an absolute treat! All in all a really good experience.

  • 5/5 Emmanuel Unarine L. 1 year ago on Google
    Maybe it was poor luck but getting Eisbein, as the chefs special, the day after a festival will stay in my heart for a long time. Their food is amazing and their staff have a good sense of humour.

  • 5/5 Anton D. 1 year ago on Google
    I haven't been back to Pachas Restaurant in years... til tonight... and wow what a treat. From the warm welcome at the door and the excellent service from our waiter Andrew to the delicious meal we were allowed to share.. . And lastly the most impressive... our sugar free dessert the chef whipped up for us even though it was not on the menu. Pachas will definutely see us again... and again.

  • 5/5 Lance B. 2 years ago on Google

    What a beautiful night at Pachas! Incredibly efficient and friendly service. Perfect, perfect eisbein - Deliciously crispy on the outside, and soft and tender on the inside. Flavour is out of this world!! Very generous portions and reasonable prices for the high-end quality! There’s a reason this place has been around for decades.

Every bite was a culinary masterpiece, bursting with flavor and expertly presented. The attention to detail in both the food and service was commendable, making us feel like valued guests throughout the meal. The sommelier provided expert guidance in selecting the perfect wine to complement our meal, further enhancing the dining experience. The staff was attentive yet unobtrusive, ensuring that our needs were met without interrupting the flow of conversation.
