The kitchen was not yet open when we arrived after a long hike but they made a plan for us which always makes a great impression. The food was amazing for the price. I had a double cheese burger and chips for R19,99. My friend had the chicken burger and the special sauce was delicious!!

Think African bush, a traditional Boma (Lapa), live music (by Wikus Botma), and all in a very relaxed setting (with ridiculously well priced food).<br/ <br/ Our table looked out onto the bush where some Vervet monkeys were playing and we were completely surrounded by lush vegetation. I was struck by the fact that this has to be one of the most no-frills venues in Pretoria East but the place was completely full today and the vibe from the live music added some African magic to 'Die Bos '. Some families had opted to take picnic tables further out and had brought their dogs along for the lunch. <br/ <br/ The menu: Steak, burgers and ribs. Don 't expect salads (or anything fancy) here.  I would stick with the T-Bone every time in terms of value-for-money. In fact, due to their daily special, we paid only R59 for a 500g T-bone. <br/ <br/ The service: We were served by 'Taffy ' (Tafadzwa) who was never short of a smile and although we could see he was very busy with other tables which caused our service to be slower than I would have liked, I didn 't feel that his service lacked on this visit. <br/ <br/ The drinks: Pretty much a KWV Brandy poster-child. If its whisky or a brandy and coke you 're after, this is the spot for you. The wines are from a box so not recommended for the wine snobs. I like that their Coca Colas are served in the glass bottles still (ice cold) and not a plastic buddy or tin. <br/ <br/ *Recommendation: For a well-priced steak in the bush (right in the heart of Pretoria East) Die Bos is truly an experience.<br/ <br/ <br/ For more, find me on Instagram, Facebook Twitter: LaurasWorldza

Try their T-bone steak, it is always cooked to perfection. Go on a Friday night. Great live music.
