Good to Know

The potjie dishes offered are Beef, Chicken and Vegetarian, each bringing their own distinct taste of wood-smoked Africa and served as part of a three-course meal with side dishes and followed by dessert. Dinner is enjoyed under the stars alongside the Zambezi River with your drink of choice available by order from our curated collection of Pure Africa wines, artisan spirits and craft beers, all on offer at our cash bar. Guaranteeing a distinctly African feast under the stars.

Glad I booked

Lovely setting. Homemade bread was amazing. Beef potje was very good and non fatty and tender. Sides were tasty. Soup and chocolate bomb pudding were great. Only issue was I couldn't finish the wonderful meal, as I was so full (and I always finish my meals lol). Staff were sweet and attentive and there was traditional music played at low volume to add to the atmosphere. Fantastic evening.

Do not miss this!

We arrived at the restaurant just after sunset, in time to quickly look at the stunning grounds beside the Zambezi River before dark. The sunset cruise docked in front of us. We enjoyed a delicious dinner which included soup for the entree and really good panna cotta for dessert along with the Potjie pot with accompaniment dishes. A very generous dinner which we could not finish. The beef Potjie and chicken Potjie both very tasty. We would definitely recommend this experience if you are in Victo...read more

Worth the price.

The main meal and desert were excellent. This is an activity for someone famished. Worth every penny.

Response from ViatorJanuary 08, 2024

Thank you so much Andisiwe for the review and you will be happy to know that we are actually working on the cool background music that will be playing The Eatery. This will enhance the ambience without taking away the natural aesthetics.
