Africa Café
Touristy, yes, but still one of the best places to sample African food. Come with a hearty appetite as the set feast comprises some 15 dishes from across the continent, of which you can eat as much as you like. The décor, different in every room, is fantastic. Bookings are advised and it’s closed on Sunday from June to October.

Moyo’s
The ‘Africa chic’ decor (Moroccan souq–style seating areas, African artefacts, candles glowing in alcoves) and entertainment (face-painters, musicians) of this busy chain is certainly crowd-pleasing, if a little touristy. Food here is pan-African with everything from Algerian chicken to Tanzanian fish curry and is good, if not exactly authentic. There’s also a top-notch wine list for oenoophiles.

Lelapa
Sheila has been so successful with her delicious African-style buffets that she’s taken over the neighbours, extending the once-cosy home restaurant into a space for big tour groups. You need to book as there are no set opening hours at this place.

Afro Cafe 94
Less patriotic carnivores can get their mouths around 'world African cuisine': from Hluhluwe Impala salad to springbok loin and Cuban oxtail. This friendly African eatery is handy to several sleeping options.

Eziko
Eziko offers simple, good food in a pleasant setting; try the chef’s special fried chicken or the breakfast. If you’re feeling adventurous go for the ‘delectable’ tripe.

Upstairs at the Bat Centre, with terrace views over the docks, this restaurant serves taste-tempting meals from Madagascar to Morocco. Try the Congo crocodile curry.
