Pretoria
Offering style and substance, Pacha's is looking good in its new digs at the spiffy Club Centre. It's a pleasant modern restaurant with a small aquarium and quality furniture, but high-calibre meat dishes, including some traditional fare, are the main attraction here. Feeling more surf than turf? There's also a good selection of seafood dishes.
The Club Centre has several other chic and casual places to eat.
