Nandos is an international chain of restaurants that offer a great menu of freshly grilled chicken right in front of you. They use open flames to create a great taste. Nandos celebrates the distinctive tradition of Peri-Peri barbeque that was born 400 years ago when Portuguese explorers discovered Africa food and spices. The first Nandos came into being in Johannesburg in 1987 and here in Namibia (Windhoek) 1995. The salads are fresh and you get to choose your own sauce that the chicken is marinated in. You also select how hot or (or not!) you want this to be.

Favorite Dish: The Quarter Chicken Meal with medium Peri Pari with salad and rice

This place is always busy and it definitely because the food is very good. In fact, this restaurant does superb food, from an exotic and large menu. You can get a peek at your fish (pictured) before they do their magic on it. Ingredients are fresh and tasty and even the economical wines are good quality. If you are in Windhoek for 2-3 days, stop in for a great meal. The menu is massive and varied. Plenty of vegetarian options as well.

The only thing to be aware of: the staff are slow. It’s a shame because the food is excellent. Also some [people smoke in here. Just give the people smoking at the next table a nasty look and they usually pack it in.

Favorite Dish: I had the Salad Niçoise for a starter (pictured) followed by an Angolan Fish Dish (also pictured) washed down with some red wine and a cold draft beer.

This is really a great place. You can eat here game animals. I did asked for a gembok and it was really on of the best meat I have ever try.

The ambience was really nice. It full of tourist and you should reserve cause is always full. The tables are in german style, longs ones that are shared with others.

Just look its page.

Eat at Joe’s? The name really does not even begin to hint at the delights of this fantastic restaurant. This is a WOW! I rate this as one of the best restaurants in Africa. The compound is full of Lapas (small thatch covered buildings with no walls) and several themes areas. There is a pond and several bar areas as well. The staff are fantastic and nothing is a problem. The menu screams MEAT EATERS WELCOME! Choose from Game dishes or traditional meat dishes. And there’s the beer! Served cold and with a smile every time. This is a lively yet peaceful atmosphere for families and couples. They stay open late for drinkers. If you only spend one night in Windhoek – eat here!

* There are vegetarian dishes on the menu.

Favorite Dish:
* Starter:
Chicken Salad with Prawns. Georgeous! Tender chicken with a fresh tasty salad.
* Main meal:
Bushman Sosatie – the King of meals in Windhoek!
Ostrich, Crocodile, Zebra, Kudu, Chicken with Salad & Fritters. It’s surprising how good Zebra tastes. No wonder lions eat them! This is served with several side sauces on a wooden cutting board so you can mix and match tastes. Delicious!

This was the BEST restaurant I ate at in Namibia.

Of course when on the road and in the wilderness, one of the best fun and joy is to cook your own food. There are no cooking facilities in the camping sites, so have your own wood or gas for the cooking as well as all the pots, pans and other tools.
Food you can by at the camping stores.

Who needs a restaurant when you could be cooking in the beautiful outdoors of Namibia? They are blessed with great weather and you can Braai virtually every night. The word Braai (rhymes with ‘cry’) is Afrikaans for ‘barbecue’ or ‘roast’. To me it translates as simply delicious. You also get to burn stuff to make your meal. Most grocery stores have all your Braai supplies. That includes firewood. It just doesn’t get any better than this. You have to do all the work, but it well worth it.

Favorite Dish: Texas Steak (large pre-marinated steak from Shoprite) and Boerwoers (a huge sausage of various ingredients and flavours) and some ice cold beers.

We had the best seat in the house looking out over the ocean with the sun setting.

The food was also stunning. Well recommended is the seafood extraganza followed by dark and ebony mousse for desert.

Book early to avoid disappointment

Favorite Dish: seafood extraganza - line caught fish, prawns, calamari, crayfish to name a few things on the dish
