Football revellers will find no shortage of fun and fabulous places to grab a good meal, complemented by a jovial atmosphere. Enjoy a traditional African barbecue under the stars; take a long, lazy lunch alongside a river full of hippos, or grab a quick pizza downtown. There are plenty of different restaurants and dining options in and around Polokwane.
Being in the heart of the bushveld, meat is firmly on the menu here. But the province is also known for its sub-tropical produce – oranges, mangoes, bananas, litchis and nuts. Whether you’re into hearty beef and succulent venison, or healthy salads and fish – there’s something for all tastebuds around here.
You can get just about everything from lamb shanks and prawn curry to seafood hotpots and Chinese specials at The Restaurant. Set in a Victorian house in downtown Polokwane, The Restaurant hits the spot. Another cheerful and unpretentious spot is La Villa Italiana, downstairs in Savanna Mall. They offer an enormous choice of pastas and pizzas, and a sizzling selection of rumps, fillets and grills for meat eaters. The Deck, in Bendor, offers casual dining, combining African laid-backness with European chic.
For a romantic lunch in the countryside, try the five-star Coach House Hotel, famed for its trout, wine list and irresistible nougat. Or enjoy a good old-fashioned country meal and some of the best mountain views at the Magoebaskloof Hotel. For a traditional under-the-stars African feast, try Sefapane Lodge on Hoedspruit Road. They offer traditional barbecues – we call them “braais” – and their daily changing venison specials include anything from leg of impala to warthog chops.
