Authentic Stories from Diners
There for lunch & the view of the Zambezi River, the Bridge & the adrenalin activities from either level of tables are great. The staff are really nice. Called us a cab when leaving. The food was OK- the lamb wrap was great, but I thought the meat in the taste of Zam (stew) was dry & chewy. The desert was very good. The milk shake was very nice Prices were ok. Victoria Falls is not cheap & all in US Dollars although will take almost any currency. A naughty monkey did swoop in & grab somebody's lunch which was funny (not our lunch).
Beautiful viewpoint, very nice place and very nice staff. The prices are similar to restaurants that are not situated on such a lovely spot with such a view. So all and all I absolutely recommend this place. I had the Cesar salad and my wife had the Calamares salad, both lovely. I also did the activity Gorge swing over there, that was really exciting!
Stunningly located facing the gorge at Victoria Falls, this restaurant is very popular amongst visitors to the Falls. We sat at a table that gave us a good view of those indulging in zip lining and other adventurous activities at the Falls. The restaurant had an interesting menu and I opted for the crocodile kebab which came with rice, Thai curry, vegetables and chips and it was very tender and flavorful. Others in our group who ordered the vegan burger and the chicken wrap too were pleased with their meal. The dishes were also reasonably priced despite the touristy location.
This open-air cafe is all about drama - natural drama. The panoramic views stretch across the gorgeous, where you can watch daredevils either bungee jump or zip line while sipping on your tea/coffee or even cocktail. The decor is understated, letting the landscape do all the talking. Its the kind of place you'll want to linger long after dessert just to soak in the view. The breakfast was delicious. Expect heart options like but not limited to- traditional English breakfast, vegetarian friendly plates and for a lighter fare - fruit platers yogurt and granola. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable and clearly proud of the cafés unique location. Service is prompt but relaxed matching the laid back vibe of the place. Its an entire experience with jaw dropping views, flavorful food and a front row seat to the wild pulse of the Zambezi, its a must visit for anyone in Victoria falls. Come hungry, bring your camera and prepare to be wowed.
What a fun experience! Absolutely loved my sirloin steak, cooked to perfection. Our waiter was energetic and very efficient. The only thing I didn’t quite enjoy was our seating spot, would have much rather preferred a better view of the gorge. I suggest booking way in advance if you want to enjoy the full experience. I also recommend the crocodile kebab, so tender and flavorful. The French fries were so good, a unique crunchiness and flavor to them. Definitely a must-visit if you’re in Vic Falls
