Cowfish Lynnwood is a Pretoria restaurant where burgers, sushi and grilled meats share an Art Deco dining room. The kitchen makes its beef patties by hand from select cuts, flame-grilled and served with gourmet milkshakes. Sushi comes from a counter where chefs work with raw fish for nigiri, sashimi and California rolls — no grilled elements here, just the traditional Japanese forms. Steaks are aged in-house before hitting the grill, with tomahawk cuts and lamb chops joining the line.

The seafood selection includes kingklip, salmon and prawns, some grilled, some in curries or battered. Cocktails range from classic mojitos to house creations, mixed at a bar that faces the dining room. The space takes cues from Art Deco — curved banquettes, geometric lighting — but keeps the tone casual enough for families at lunch or groups sharing platters.

Lynnwood Bridge holds the restaurant in a shopping complex near Pretoria’s eastern suburbs, with parking outside and no need to book ahead. The menu covers enough ground that tables often order sushi to start and burgers to follow, or steaks with sides of tempura prawns.
