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.

Overall a let down. ...

Tanner_C, Jun 2026
Overall a let down. Positives: staff was very nice, very clean and a nice location Negatives: We assumed this was a cultural experience. For the price we paid drinks should have been included or even transfers. They had a spot that seemed as if entertainment should have taken place but never did. Food was also a let down

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

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 Victoria Falls and have a night free! Take some insect repellent as being close to the river, you will need it! We saw 3 elephants 🐘 walk right into the grounds in front of us before we left 😊

Response from Host, Jan 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.

Excellent culinary experience
