Of the five restaurants in the Meikles Hotel, this was the only one we tried (other than a drink at the Explorer’s Bar). It is the more casual of the two big restaurants. The dress code is described as “smart casual”, which in our case meant jeans and a nice shirt for my husband and my trusty “never wrinkles no matter how long the flight is” travel dress for me.

The restaurant serves light snacks during the day and an incredible buffet at night with everything from sadza – a staple food of Zimbabwe whose closest cousin is grits – to prime rib. And the dessert table! Just walking past added at least three inches to my hips.

Waiters in starched white uniforms sashed with sky blue hover nearby to provide your every wish. This was the first place we sampled Zimbabwean wine. Not quite on par with the South African, but it was very nice, as was the view over the floodlit roof garden from our window seat.Click here for the latest information on the Pavilion Restaurant in Harare

There is a section on the eatout website that is strictly dedicated to the Restaurants in Harare as well as another section that is dedicated to the Restaurants in Bulawayo.

Another page on this site is where you can find all the coffee shops in Harare. The team at eatout is on a search for the romantic restaurants in Zimbabwe at the moment.

The restaurant owners lunch that was held recently at Millers Restaurant in Harare was a great opportunity for the restaurant owners in harare to have  a one on one chat with the eatout team.

One has to be blind not to notice how busy the Chinese Restaurant Shangri-la is in Harare and in Bulawayo.  I had an opportunity to visit both and was amazed at how popular both.  We will soon be bringing you photographs of the renovated Shangri-la in Harare – or if you have pics you want to share then just email them to us and carve (instead of a turkey) your piece in the eatout pie..

Bulawayo Academy of Music may soon be seeing a great coffee shop opening up … have you seen any activity around there? Call us or email us so that we can let everybody know what’s happening in Bulawayo..

One of the reviews recently had this to say -As creatures of habit, we normally stick to the famous half chicken or Portuguese steak. The lesson learned was ‘Stick to what you know’.

I am sitting on a beautiful day in the capital city of Harare at the the Soparnos Coffee Shop and I can’t believe my luck – FREE WIRELESS internet.  I ordered a cappuccino and had to promtly advise the man behind the counter that he should watch our training video online – which I am sure went right over his head – but who wants a Mountain of froth on their cappuccino? anyone!!!

I recently received an email from a user asking for Halaal restaurants and we are so pleased to be able to add Sopranos under this category.

Today I had a meeting with Niren from the Glass house and we were discussing the coffee promotion that we wanted to do on enterprise road in Harare.  We would like to give away free coffee’s to drivers on their way to the office on a Thursday – you could contact them to let them know if you think this is a good idea.

I found details of Shangri La Restaurant on the eatout website. You can rate and review them here. A great place to get good food value.  A recent review on there says the following :

This is a great place. It is set in a good location, Enterprise road, Harare. There is a cool vibe, lots of different people from all social groups of the nation. A great place to set up a million dollar business deal, get out of trouble with the law, have an awesome afternoon with friends or even suitable for a romantic date. Shangri-La is a place for everyone. Best plan is: go on a Friday afternoon with some mates eat some delicious meals, sit outside in the sun drinking local beer and imported Cape wines, stay as late as possible and enjoy…

Definitely the Pekin duck and Crispy duck. Its the only proper duck in the nation and the ducks are all organically reared, Pekin duck imported from South Africa. World class!

I found details of Millers Restaurant on the eatout website.  You can rate and review them here.
