One of my favorite restaurants in Gauteng! The food was well presented, delicious along with the service to compliment it. They set the bar very high. If you enjoy good food in a beautiful surroundings you will not be disappointing. Management personally came to make sure everything was excellent.

The food was absolutely well-prepared and looked too beautiful to eat! An experience I will recommend to anyone who enjoys good food and wine-pairing!

Lovely fine dinning restuarant, with and oldy worldy look and feel, looking out over the beautiful gardens.. Transports one in time, allowing total relaxsation, with great food and cocktails.. It is well worth a visit.. Rekindle the romance.. :-)

Granita is part of the Krievits Kroon estate and in the North of South Africa's capital city (Pretoria). Visiting in October is such a beautiful sight, the jacarandas are blooming and the entrance is such a sight. You would need to reserve a seat as the restaurant is not that big. The food is very tasty and fresh. The beef was well taken care of and super tender. The service and the ambience are also nice. The country estate has a spa and could be a cool spot for a whole day outing. To access the estate, there is a little stretch of gravel road, but not too long, just enough to create the country ambience. Cosy restaurant and tasty food.

6 course food and wine pairing. Great food, fantastic wines. Romantic ambience (perhaps the Gregorian Chant music not quite perfect) and excellent service. Wine portions on the small side, especially being such good wines. Really enjoyed it and reasonably priced.

Granita is always exceptional, menu changes by season and never dissapoints. Great for romantic getaway and intimate dining. No children allowed which is great for some relaxing time.

We visited Granita signature restaurant as they participated in the 2017 Autumn Restaurant week. The restaurant is situated in Kievitskroon country estate in Kameeldrift East. They were able to confirm the booking for lunch at 14:00 but on arrival they indicated the restaurant closes at 14:00. After showing them their confirmation they asked us to wait for a moment while they set up a table. The waiter was not 100% clear on the restaurant week concept and after placing the order had to return to clarify and make changes. Despite the wobbly start, the rest of the experience was handled in the professional manner to be expected of this establishment. The waiters were friendly and helpful.The food was really good ... the fillet/oxtail combination was done to perfection and a feast for the palate - plating on standard. My husband enjoyed the white chocolate cheesecake and I was thoroughly happy with the dark chocolate tart for dessert ... seriously indulging and a great choice!I can recommend them for a lovely, above average eating experience!  We enjoyed the afternoon with them in a picturesc setting.

Took family for Sunday lunch at GRANITA (KIEVITSKROON ESTATE)Unfortunately it was not a fine dining experience. Food OK but not special.Margarine served with bread ? Service started off well but deteriorated suddenly,Had a very long wait for main course (beef fillet) , all served well done ,in spite of taking orders on how we prefer our fillet done. Main course also served cold .Waitress offered to replace main course , but I declined (waited long enough first time)On the whole a very poor performance from this restaurant , will not be back in a hurry.

OK, so here is the bottom line. Located within the Kievits Kroon country estate, we ate here during a recent stay at the estate. (We have also eaten at Granita many times over the past several years.) We had both lunch and dinner during our stay. The food was excellent. There is a new young chef whom I believe is a real up and comer on the greater Pretoria restaurant scene. The service was friendly and attentive. The wine list offers a nice selection of South African wines. Dinner is price-fixed with a couple of entree selections. Lunch is not price-fixed and a offers a few options. Prices are reasonable. Can accommodate larger groups. Has one room that can be closed of from the main seating area. Reservation for dinner are recommended just in case the estate is busy. You do not need to be a guest staying at the estate to eat at Granita. A good place for a special occasion, or as part of a weekend get away at the estate, or just as a new place to go.

We stayed at Kivitskroon on the weekend of 30 July 2016 for a romantic weekend, which unfortunately was ruined by the fine dining experience at Granita.First off, courses came too fast with the first course being served barely minutes after bread had been served.Then the third course arrived before the second course had been served!The original waitron never grasped the concept of "please slow down". We called the Maitre'd and made it very clear this was not macdonalds, that we were not enjoying our experience and asked if we should rather leave for the buffet.The waitron was replaced, but the food never improved. Cold soup, raw lamb rack (which was sent back to be cooked in a microwave) and we eventually gave up, skipping the dessert course. Considering a bill of R3 000 in their "signature" Restauraunt, I seriously doubt we will be back again. Absolute blemish on an otherwise fantastic resort.
