Discovering Restaurants in Hatfield, Pretoria.

In our recent visit to south Africa ,we visited Hatfield ,Pretoria which is a hub for students .It has everything from the University of Pretoria ,plazas ,hotels ,residences and most of all an influx of restaurants .In the street there are more than 15 restaurants including big names such as kfc,burger king ,pizza hut ,dominoes and other south African restaurants such as Barcelos ,spur to mention a few.

Since here at Amaris lifestyle we are lovers of good food and also decor .We decided to go to these restaurants and do a quick survey of what they offer and their decor to share with our readers.

Starting with Capital P which offers traditional pizza,pastas and paninis.

THE OUTSIDE

From the outside when you pass by this restaurant , you will just be moved to get inside and find out what they have to offer .There is a big red sign that is very eye catching.

 There is also some window stickers  that explain what they offer and what to expect before you get inside .

Since Hatfield is a student hub , there is a big sign outside of 10% off to students when they brig a student card .A very good idea since students love discounts.

THE INSIDE 
When you get to the inside , you are moved to just sit down and order everything they have to offer in the menu .

 The inside has a rustic/modern feel to it with copper lights and both high and normal chairs to sit .

 It is a great setting not only for business meetings ,chill out sessions but also working since it provides a very quiet and relaxing environment to do what is required to do.

 There s a big menu board that displays all the items available and you have an option to pick your pasta from Spaghetti to Ravioli ,a very unique idea.

Other restaurants will be discussed in upcoming posts .

It is speculated that the colourful houses came about when  Bo-Kaap community residents bought their houses from the city council and as owners then decorated their own homes with bright colours, even more so since after Apartheid as an expression of long-subdued individualism and a celebration of their new-found freedom.

We cant wait to go to this place  and take as many pictures as we can.

Discovering Monte Casino

While going through my phone gallery today , i came across pictures i took at Monte Casino.Monte Casino is a leisure complex in Four ways , Johannesburg South Africa. It has everything from casinos to theaters , to shopping areas and cafes.What drew me to it the most was that ,it actually looks like the streets of Sicily ,Italy at night on the inside.The architecture ,lights and design makes you feel as if you are actually there, so  awesome.I would recommend anyone visiting Johannesburg to go there. It is just magical and a great place for family and friends.

It just began as a thought,we wanted a short vacation near home...Zanzibar came to mind. We wanted something fun, memorable and luxurious.

It was a 3 days trip,therefore we decided each night we will spend at a different hotel. The other 2 hotels were great, but the 3rd was superb👌...essque Zalu. The ambiance,the food and the service was just on point. We shared some of our pics to give you a clue of the beautiful moments we had.If you are a person that loves great vacation and great pictures, this is a place to visit.
