Fermier - Pretoria

Entry to this place just bring calmness and optimism to he night.!looking forward to the rest of the night . Last time I was here had a ball.

First off, let's begin with the setting; it's stunning! Tucked away from all the hustle and bustle of Lynnwood, you are guided up a dark path through the trees lit only by candlelight and the torch of a staff member. Eventually you reach the almost barn-like structure of the restaurant which gives a warm and rustic atmosphere perfect for the location! It's really a great introduction and that definitely deserves 5 stars.<br/ <br/ But what you really want to read about is the food, right? Overall it was devine! There were one or two courses where the flavour combinations did not work so well for me and definitely needed some improvement. The cheese was the main dish in question, it was far too salty and could've really done with some sweetness to counter the sharpness of the cheese.<br/ <br/ Another area that let down the restaurant was our waiter, he didn't know the menu and couldn't explain the dishes to us at all. I expect a restaurant of this caliber to have trained it's staff thougrougly before letting them onto the floor.<br/ <br/ Our sommelier on the other hand was superb! Her knowledge and passion for the wines was incredible and with me being a wine-lover myself, I really appreciated having someone like that to talk to and learn from.<br/ <br/ These are the reasons why I gave Fermier a 4 star overall score. It was really great in some areas, but heavily let down in others. Overall though, I still feel like it's well worth the visit and it will be a very special evening!

Fascinating location, modern decor with open kitchen. The foods is pretty much fine dining. We took the wine pairing and it was an excellent choice. Presentation superb and food was absolutely delicious
