Finally got to try their breakfast today. French toast was really yummy, quite a big portion for the price and a lovely cappuccino. The mince on toast is excellent and also very filling.
The service is very slow but staff are friendly and so is the manager. Will definitely be back again, especially for the breakfast special.
My friend and I love this place for a quick lunch during the week. The toasted sandwiches are tasty and come with a generous portion of well spiced chips. The best part is the pampoen koekies in the decadent butterscotch sauce for dessert. Good prices too!
The history of the Jakaranda City comes to life by means of the decor of 1855.
The menu has a lot of all time South African favourites and some other classics as well.
I had the eggs benedict and I loved it!
I would definitely recommend this place to all who love fine food and our beautiful city that is Pretoria.
Very good breakfast! Great value for money!!! Had the eggs Benedict with Salmon was a great taste but would have liked a slightly larger portion. Had the Pretoria breakfast the next time and wow what value for money! Large portion and very nice flavour!
Great breakfast, very affordable and service excellent. Love this place! Open at 7am everyday. Staff always friendly! My office most mornings. Give it a try. Well worth it
Cosy and convenient, 1855 is lovely for families. I've had tons of breakfast at this restaurant. I love it especially because they have so many specials. The French toast is one my favourites.
1855 is a quaint and very cute restaurant. The food is simple and delicious. However, being a new restaurant they are still sorting out a view issues. The service is not yet up to scratch and the food can take quite a while- especially if you are there for their breakfast special.
I must say they sell the best and tastiest simple food ever. The minute we got the food we became silent because it tasted soo good and at such reasonable prices I must add . The service was great and we left with unbelievably happy tummies
My friend and I visited the restaurant this morning for some breakfast. It's definitely a gem. The food was lovely and the service was really good as well. Browsed the menu and feel like I need to came back and taste everything that they. Would love to try the jaffels and dessert.
My friend and I are certainly coming back here.
This relatively new restaurant is at the Lynnwood Bridge shopping centre. Nestled between a lot of established and/or franchise eateries. Which is maybe a pity, because it tends to be overlooked. What grabbed my attention was the fact that they've got JAFFLES on the menu! That brings back a lot of childhood memories, doesn't it? And these are so delicious - stuffed to the brim and served with the most delicious French Fries and behold.... PUMPKIN FRITTERS. Decadent and moreish, dripped with caramel syrup. We've been there a few times - so I've had the bobotie jaffle and the Chicken, Feta and Pesto jaffle. Both delish! Hubby had the Eggs Benedict, that was really fab and a yum burger. If you are looking form something a little more interesting that the major franchises in this centre - try 1855 out! Oh, and the restaurant is very much 'Pretoria' themed! For you who don't know - Pretoria was established in 1855.
Affordable food, good service and nice setting at Lynnwood Bridge.
Breakfasts all capped for over two years now, they deserve huge kudos just for that, and has lovely lunchtime promotions on meals to choose from.
Their food quality is good and also serve tasty meals
Check em out if you’re in the area - just be on time as breakfast closes at 11:30
Had some breakfast there, man, just love the vibe, felt a little like home coffee is good, and love the theme of the place. Keep it really amazing!
The big selling point is an amazingly priced R45 across all breakfasts before 11h30. The quality isn't five star, but for the price and compared to surrounding restaurants it is great. Absolutely delicious farm style toast.
Updated with pictures 26 July 2023, breakfast special now @R50.
They have a great breakfast special- all breakfasts at the same price. The service was fast and friendly but my eggs Benedict was a little dry.
The food was fantastic! Service friendly and quick! 11/10 would recommend!
Amazing wide range of breakfast at VERY reasonable prices. I had the biggest flap Jack's I have ever seen in my life.. Very fluffy and light. I enjoyed them.
My date had the Phutupap with chicken liver... And he said it genuinely tastes like how it would be made at home. He loved it.
The service was amazing. The environment was very good.
FYI - it gets packed pretty quickly in the morning. Rather reserve table or come as early as possible like 8am.
Incredible morning buzz with their breakfast special of R45 for anything on the breakfast list. Definitely a popular choice in the area. It is Friday morning and most chairs are packed. If you run out of luck her, there are some other places to choose from within strolling distance
Went to check out this place for lunch, it's situated in a sortve outside food court next to a water feature so it has that ambience but it's a basic straight to the point eatery. When I arrived I was immediately shown to a table and asked what I'd like to drink whilst waiting for my order I was asked for my drink order again by a different waitron, even tho the place was quite busy, the food arrived fairly quickly, it was hot, fresh and delicious. I had a seafood pasta and my companion had a chicken pesto pasta we both loved our meals it was honestly really good, this place is ridiculousy reasonably priced. I highly recommend it.
I had a great time at 1855! The atmosphere is relaxed and chilled. Great music selection. I’m taking off a star since the lasagna was smaller than expected and too much dressing on my salad. However, I will visit this place again especially for their specials
Went for breakfast during their breakfast special. Overall had a good experience. The food was a little overcooked and not as hot when it arrived, as they were very busy, but the coffee was great.
