Review of Villa Paradiso

I have driven past Villa Paradiso plenty of times on my way to visit the family in Hartbeespoort, but never really had a good reason to stop by and enjoy this quaint venue. The opportunity did however present itself when our family decided to celebrate a birthday with the Sunday Lunch Buffet.

And what a stunning lunch it turned into! The staff are all extremely helpful and friendly, and I could not fault them on anything. Luckily we made a booking, because the restaurant got busy pretty quickly.

The buffet was a culinary joy. Four sections make up the full spread:

  • A starters table, which included various cold meats, salads, finger snacks and soups
  • The main buffet, which consisted out of delicious vegetables, chicken dishes, gorgeous roasted meats, and starches.
  • The dessert table, my favorite part of the meal, was loaded with delicious creme caramels, jelly's, baked puddings, small cakes and custard.
  • And then lastly, the cheese and coffee table. Apart from the usual coffees and tea, a nice collection of cheeses and savory biscuits.

And since it is a buffet, you can eat as much as you like.

Villa Paradiso is a 20 - 30 minute drive from Pretoria, and I it is worthwhile driving out to Hartbeespoort to visit Villa Paradiso for lunch. Just make sure that your jeans are not too tight, because after a meal like this, buttons becomes seriously overrated :)
