A European sounding menu - until you see "braised wildebeeste in red wine sauce"! I was there with a large group, seated in a private dining room, so I can't say much about the ambiance, but the grounds are lush and lovely. That's fortunate, as you'll need a stroll through them to help work off the meal. Or stay overnight - there appeared to be a number of rooms, with a swimming pool for guests.
We were served a three course lunch, with choices for each course, followed by coffee (of course - grown locally in the Vumba Mountains). The day I was there the choices were Chilled Vichyssoise or Smoked Trout Pate for appetizer (served with yummy yeast rolls); Roast Lamb (with mint sauce and quince jelly), Chicken Provencale, or the aforementioned wildebeeste for entree; and Apple Crumble or Homemade Ice-Cream and Meringue for dessert. The entrees were accompanied by acorn squash, potatoes, and broccoli, brought around after the entree came out so you could accept or decline each one.
Favorite Dish: The wildebeeeste of course! It tasted like very richly flavored beef and was surprisingly tender.

The Green Coucal, which is often known as ‘Sarah’s’ after its owner Sarah Wright, offers espresso drinks, snacks and light lunches in an aesthetically appealing setting. While you sip and sup you are surrounded by high quality art works by local (Zimbabwean) and regional (Southern Africa) artists. Of special note are beautiful wooden items produced by Sarah’s talented father, Andy Hendry.
Great cappucinos and lattes, tasty muffins and delectable sandwiches on homemade foccacia bread are available as well as homemade pasta and hearty breakfasts. Dine indoors or in the well-tended garden.
Favorite Dish: Chicken and roast vegetable sandwich on homemade foccacia bread. Fairly generous portion, really tasty chicken and delectable veggies.

Mutare is the door to the Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe and also the main transit point towards Mozambique and the important harbour of Beira. The Beira Corridor had been one of the critical points......
Mutare - friendly, safe, clean and a bit boring :)
Mutare is nice enough - wide, clean streets and - at least in the downtown areas and the pricier suburbs - very presentable homes with lovely gardens. But out in what's called the 'high-density...
Between the heartstopping grandeur of the scenery and the heartrending effects of hyper-inflation on the populace (especially the children), a coronary exam should be required before visiting Mutare....
It´s a quite comfortable town in a beautfull countryside, close to the Bvunga mountains and Nyanga national park, also very close to the Mozambique border.
