KREAM RESTAURANT - Pretoria



Kream Restaurant in the heart of Brooklyn, Pretoria, is probably one of the most aesthetically pleasing restaurant I have ever been to in South Africa.  You can have a squiz at their website, but the pictures really don’t do the real thing justice.  
I have been consulting here over the last 6 weeks, rejuvenating their menu and bringing a bit of gourmet to the already gorgeous restaurant.  
We spent the first four weeks running the new menu items as specials to get feedback from the loyal clientele and see which dishes will earn their place on the new menu, which is to be launched early next week.  
The restaurant is owned and run by Tufan Yerebakan, along with his partners Reinhardt and Victor, all of who work the most ridiculous hours to ensure that Kream is run like a well oiled ship - which it really is.  The service is fantastic, with all food specials and orders taken by the management (a team of five), with the drinks orders taken care of by the very well trained and knowledgable waitresses.  This is the same method of service used on most international cruise liners, and works a charm.  
There is a very comprehensive wine list, which is well priced and offers everything from entry level wines to the more sophisticated and rare wines that have been specifically chosen by Kream’s in-house sommelier, Sean Trollop.
With the new menu going live early next week, I am confident that Kream will move from it’s current 3rd place position on tripadvisor.com on restaurants to visit in SA to 1st in no time.
Now you know where to go if your in the Pretoria area and need to experience first class hospitality.  And if you want to do it in true style, give Kream a call before hand and arrange for the Kream Limo to come and collect you!
