16th by KOI — Pan-Asian / Contemporary, Pretoria
16th by KOI is perched on the 16th floor of The Capital at Menlyn Maine — Pretoria’s most dynamic mixed-use development — delivering rooftop dining with unbeatable city views that make it the most dramatically positioned restaurant in the South African capital. The combination of the height, the panoramic cityscape, and the menu’s bold Pan-Asian flavours has made it one of the most cited restaurants in the Pretoria dining scene.
The menu celebrates bold flavours: flame-grilled prawns that reflect the South African braai tradition applied to the Asian-influenced kitchen, dim sum prepared with the precision that the Chinese culinary tradition demands, sushi assembled from the finest available fish, and fragrant curries that draw on the Indian Ocean coastline’s spice heritage.
The cocktail programme takes full advantage of the rooftop position: the South African craft gin cocktails, the Asian-inspired preparations, and the sunset service that the 16th-floor views make particularly dramatic.
16th by KOI is the Pretoria restaurant for occasions that require the combination of spectacular setting and bold culinary identity — the business dinner that needs a statement, the proposal that needs a view, the birthday that needs to be unlike anything else.
Best Occasion: Impress Clients
The 16th-floor Menlyn Maine panorama, the Dineplan Reviewers’ Choice recognition, and the bold Pan-Asian menu: 16th by KOI is the most visually and gastronomically impressive client dinner in Pretoria.
