Victoria Falls Restaurants Guide
Victoria Falls Restaurants Guide
Eating out for many people while on holiday is a very important factor.
Especially for those of you who might be visiting Zimbabwe for the first time
and want to experience some local dishes and entertainment.
The hotel you are staying at, will of course have its own restaurant, but if you are staying
there for more than a
couple of days you might want to venture further a field. It's also possible
that the onsite restaurant is not to your liking. So it's worth knowing what
else is out there.
Since there are so many hotels and lodges in Victoria Falls there is a wide
variety restaurants to choose from and some of them are truly world class. There are also a few
Victoria Falls restaurants dotted around town offering a
variety of different foods. It is easy enough to catch a taxi from where you are
staying to one of the other restaurants.
Other options include a sunset and
dinner cruise, which is very popular, as the name suggests, enjoy a Zambezi
sunset cruise but instead of coming in just after sunset, stay out on the cruise
boat and get treated to a 3 course dinner. There is also the option of doing
what's called a night drive and bush dinner where
you go on an evening game drive and then enjoy a specially prepared meal under
the stars. If you are interested in either of these, please send us a
booking enquiry form.
Below is a basic list of the Victoria Falls restaurants, they are listed
alphabetically by the hotel / lodge name. Restaurants not at a hotel are
included in the "Around Town" heading.
See our map for locations
of the various hotels.
In time we will add more
details on each restaurant and hopefully the reviews section will grow, which will help you in
deciding where to go.

town and then at the various Hotels and Lodges
