Pachas Restaurant a known trademark of Pretoria has been in existence from 1985 until the building was demolished in November 2011. Thereafter the partnership dissolved, where Andreas Henrich moved to Cape Town, Riann de Villiers to Brazil and Jan Willem Pont enjoyed a well deserved break.
Pachas has now moved to the Maroelana Centre where the Old Cynthias Maroelana was. The menu combines some of the old Cynthias favourites like the Fillet Haloumi and Fillet Tri Colla together with the old Pachas hits like the Rump with a mustard and brandy sauce, the legendary Duck Fuji, and the Gemsbok Schnitzel with a redwine, bacon and mushroom sauce. On the starter side we have brought back the Smoked Snoek in Phyllo Pastry, Smoked Springbok Carpaccio and introduced an already loved Lamb Kidney dish.
Pachas spent a few days revamping the Restaurant to incorporate a more modern feel with our original up market look. Pachas kept the many private venue options that Cynthias offered for that special occasion or business luncheon or dinner.
We look forward to entertaining you in our new venue. To avoid disappointment, please remember to book your year end functions and special occasions!
We would also like to thank our loyal clientele who have already been supporting us!
