Located in the heart of Gauteng’s busiest tourism route, Molitva is perfectly positioned in The Cradle of Humankind. A mere 3km’s from the Rhino and Lion Nature Reserve, this country gem is a quick turn off Kromdraai Road. Specialising in fresh, organic, homegrown fruits and vegetables, Molitva’s mouthwatering food menu will charm any tastebuds. The menu is largely centered around a range of mezze and tapas styled foods from various Mediterranean cuisines, but also offers those that prefer something a little more substantial; homemade pasta’s, an array of salads, a selection of grills and a variety of appetizing burgers.

Head chef and part owner, Milan Cerimaj describes Molitva’s cuisine as “Orthodox Mediterranean” with subtle twists and adaptations.

Surrounded by the green, lush countryside and mountainous views, this restaurant and pub is the perfect setting for a day out with the family, a romantic date or a time to kick back and relax with friends.

    I've been curious about Molitva for the past 3 years and finally was able to visit (Twice in two weekends!!) We visited last weekend - needing a space to enjoy time together out in nature - away from the hustle and bustle of life and malls - and this is exactly what we found! The staff were absolutely amazing - we couldn't discern between management and waitrons as all were professional (fed our sense of humour) and took exceptional care of us. The food was absolutely delectable - we tried a few dips and starters and had no room left for mains - hence the second visit in such a short space of time as we had to return for the fish and steak (which did not disappoint)> A third and many more visits are definitely on our dance cards!

    We had the line fish for lunch. It was quite expensive, but worth every penny. Our waiter, Sandra, was absolutely amazing, she attended to our every need and made our dining experience truly enjoyable.

    Was disappointed in the fact that we had made a booking and yet the menu options like calamari, squid, yellow tail though displayed on the menu was not available. They seemed to have run out of ice too. Was disappointing. Doubt we will ever go back and we certainly will not refer anyone. We had specifically taken people who love fish and the experience left a bitter taste. So unfortunate and embarrassing.
