eatout

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..
