Cynthia’s Indigo Moon

Pretoria


You'll enjoy this place almost as much for the decor as the food, with nods to Paris and New York, dimly lit corner tables and plenty of mirrors adorning the walls. Signature dishes include Norwegian salmon, Cynthia's fillet and venison (usually springbok, kudu or ostrich). The chicken couscous salad is a hit, too.
