  • 4/5 Clement K. 1 year ago on Google β€’ 408 reviews
    This is inside the posh Meikles Hotel in Harare city centre. You have a view of Harare Gardens, the florist and folks stretched out in the garden. Breakfast is an easy affair, a buffet helping so you eat what you want, from cereal, toast, liver, eggs to sausages and a cup πŸ₯€ of tea. Yummy πŸ˜‹.

  • 4/5 Zoe M. 1 year ago on Google β€’ 12 reviews
    Beautiful place to just relax and dine. The pianist was amazing πŸ‘. The chefs at the buffet were really kind, they explained every dish to us and assisted us with where to start, where to go next and where to end. The waiters were helpful as well, and they didn't hover too much that you'd feel uncomfortable. And the window table we got had a beautiful view of the bussing Harare night life.

    Nice place with vintage vibes. Had the buffet, although all the food was great, too much oil used in the preparation. Amazing chicken and nice salads, great cauliflower soup I'd never had in my life! Recommend

    Very nice restaurant in the center of Harare. Staff were fantastic and couldn't do enough for you. We had the lunch buffet which had plenty of choice and tasty. Try get a window seat and you will be overlooking a park and you can just chill and watch life go by

    I'm not too sure about the food - personally didn't find it out of this world. Rather bland. The ambience was ok; set in a Victorian theme. Soft music by the pianist as you dine. Makes the overall environment cosy. Ideal place for a romantic dinner.

    Tasty food and variety served on buffet. There does need some change of the menu, especially if you've been there a few times in the past - becomes predictable.

  • 3/5 Trishdar C. 5 years ago on Google
    The location is great, it's also quiet, private and the staff is professional. The food is nothing nothing spectacular and is is a little bland and boring. The restaurant is a 3 star experience that is in need of a few decades worth of updating

  • 3/5 Shingie M. 5 years ago on Google
    The service was great 5*, the carpaccio was served on bread (why why why). My steak was cold and smothered in pepper sauce wanted it on the side... food was cold. The piano music Super 5*πŸ‘ŒπŸΎ.

  • 5/5 Beyers van der M. 5 years ago on Google
    Excellent food, warm and friendly service and such a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Rohit R. 6 years ago on Google
    The place has an old world charm to it with its ambience and the gentleman playing the piano in the evenings adds an elegance to the setting. The steak is very good and the presentation of the flambΓ© version is a spectacle in itself. The service is warm and friendly, the cherry on the top. Special shout out to the bartender in the adjacent bar, who is a delight.
