Must-see restaurants in Botswana & Namibia

  • O Pensador

    Windhoek

    A quality seafood restaurant with a twist of Angolan here and a hint of Portuguese there; the food may not be squirming on your plate but our overall…

  • Savanna

    Botswana

    This place, upstairs in the Village Mall, serves up the town’s best flame-grilled steaks, but it also does fish and chips; watch out for the daily…

  • Bäckerei Dekker & Café

    Namibia

    This German cafe and bakery serves tasty breakfasts and lunches including toasties, bread rolls, sandwiches, salads, freshly made pies, a cold platter and…

  • Napolitana

    Swakopmund

    It's nothing special and the decor is where a mock Via Veneto meets the American Wild West, but Napolitana serves up surprisingly good pizza, pasta and…

  • Mokolwane’s Restaurant

    Gaborone

    The buffet at the Grand Palm Resort serves up fairly unexciting cooking, but the salads are above average and the roasts are always a highlight. It's next…

  • AfriCat Day Centre

    Namibia

    The day centre serves a few simple meal choices at lunchtimes from a menu that changes regularly. There are fine views from the back terrace.

  • Kang Ultra Stop

    Botswana

    The restaurant connected to the petrol station and motel of the same name is a fairly simple place serving up uninspiring but filling meals such as…

  • Crafter’s Kitchen

    Windhoek

    You can shop for handicrafts here and get a bite at the same time from the busy little kitchen which churns out decent fuel, such as toasties, burgers and…

  • Spur Steak Ranch

    Botswana

    You’ve seen it before – an American-themed steakhouse in the heart of Africa with a menu that covers steaks, ribs and seafood. It’s the sort of place that…

  • Tandurei Restaurant

    Botswana

    Reasonable pan-Indian cooking in simple surrounds adds a little variety to the Francistown eating scene. Although it also does Chinese dishes, it's far…

  • ShopRite

    Botswana

    One of the best supermarkets in the whole southern Kalahari region. It's in the main town, 3km off the highway.

    If you're keeping a tight budget, Windhoek is a grocery paradise for self-caterers.

  • Choppies

    Botswana

    Cheaper-than-average supermarket along the main street.

  • Pick & Pay

    Windhoek

    Good supermarket in the Wernhil Park Centre

  • R66

    Botswana

    The fact that we include this place should be read as a statement about the lack of choice in Ghanzi more than as a recommendation of quality. Wilted…

  • Pie City

    Botswana

    For a quick bite, these pies make a nice if unexciting break from the fast food that dominates things along the main road through the centre of town.

  • Spar Supermarket

    Botswana

    Ghanzi's best-stocked supermarket, Spar is in the heart of town, across from Gantsi Craft and the Kalahari Arms Hotel.
