Victoria 22

Harare


Harare's best restaurant for fine dining, Victoria 22 is a fairly formal affair with crisp linen and silverware, making it a favourite for well-heeled locals. Set in a colonial house with a classy interior, its outdoor terrace overlooks a swimming pool and manicured lawn. The menu is predominantly Italian, including such local variations as ostrich carpaccio. Reservations recommended.

Other dishes include homemade pastas and grilled meats in rich creamy sauces. Check its Facebook page for upcoming events.
