Amanzi's
Set in a stunning former colonial house with African décor and an even more amazing garden, Amanzi's has the tastiest food from around the world and a great vibe. You can also buy a painting from a local artist on the way out. A must.

Victoria 22
Yet another restaurant set in what was once a colonial house, this is a favourite of well-heeled locals. It is pretty formal (for Harare standards), with choices within a set menu of four courses, and probably has the best food in town.

Shop Café
Most perfect for brunch and lunch any day except Sunday, the Shop Café serves some of the yummiest food in Zimbabwe, from its amazing homemade muesli, yogurt and stewed fruit to vegetable moussakas and fish curries. The food here will put you in the right mood for shopping in the attached shop for hand-printed textiles, hand-painted ceramics and cane and teak furniture - double yum.

Celebration Centre
A huge new church/concert hall/event centre with a café on the ground floor at the entrance which stays open later than other cafés. You don't have to be religious to pitch up for the best cakes in Harare, and great coffee too. Rub shoulders with regionally famous gospel singers. Swan Dr is parallel to Borrowdale Rd.

Book Café
This café is fairly dead during the day but at night hosts popular local musicians, poets and writers, and is crowded and lively when there's a performance. You can eat traditional food here, especially sadza (white maize meal porridge) - the staple and national obsession.

Keg & Maiden
Try this place, off Fifth St, for a pub meal and check out the magnificent international cricket ground (sadly, minus cricketers). Tuck into bangers and mash or steak and chips in a cheerful pub atmosphere. You can also order a veg meal. On Saturday nights there's live music.

Wild Geese Lodge
One restaurant that is open on Sundays for a good ol' Sunday roast is this place off Alpes Rd. It's a thatched complex 10 minutes' drive north with views across the grassy highveld to wildlife. It also has accommodation: nine private suites.

Massimo's
The Italian cuisine and the décor is authentic, and its host is eccentric – he chooses his clientele from the queue outside, others are sent away.

Drive Through Restaurant
An incredibly casual affair where you buy fish and then have it cooked for you. Delicious food and laid-back, though you can make bookings.

Italian Bakery
Despite views of the car park, the décor is old-world Italian as the owners are Italian-Ethiopian. This means the coffee is good and the meals - rolls, wraps and pastas - tasty.
