Restaurants in Botswana

  1. A

    Bull & Bush Pub

    This long-standing Gaborone institution is deservedly popular with expats, tourists and locals alike. Though there's something on the menu for everyone, the Bull & Bush is renowned for its thick steaks and cold beers. On any given night, the outdoor beer garden is buzzing with activity, and you can bet there's always some sports event worth watching on the tube.

    Hilary's

    Just off Mathiba I St, this homy place offers a choice of wonderfully earthy meals, including homemade bread, baked potatoes, soups and sandwiches. It's ideal for vegetarians and anyone sick of greasy sausages and soggy chips.

    Bull & Bush Pub

    The younger sister of the Bull & Bush Pub in Gaborone is jokingly referred to as the 'Bullet & Ambush' after someone was shot here on opening night (a long time ago).

    Things have certainly quietened down since then, so you shouldn't worry about coming here. In fact, the Bull & Bush is probably the most popular haunt among ex-pats in town. The pub hosts a variety of regular events including their raucous quiz nights, and like its bigger sister pub, the Bull & Bush is your best bet for a thick steak and cold beer.

    25º East

    If you can believe it, there is in fact a sushi restaurant on the edge of the Kalahari. Asian-inspired mains are probably a safer bet, though it's hard to say no to nigiri-zushi.

    Maharaja Restaurant
