Where to eat in Namibia

You will find any kind of places to eat in our country suitable for every taste and every pocket from take-aways, cozy coffee shops to steak houses, pizzerias and expensive gourmet restaurants.
The German colonial heritage transferred to traditional German cuisine can be found in many local restaurants especially in small coastal town Swakopmund where plenty of seafood can be enjoyed as well.
You can compliment your meal with Namibian beer brewed according to Reinheitsgebot - German law of purity of beer (1516).
Although South African beer is not as good as Namibian one (not at all! - you can not call a beer this sweet synthetic substance, giving you a headache next morning), there is a choice of their perfect wines available in every restaurant.
Some noteworthy restaurants that we can recommend: Spur Steak Ranch, Dune Restaurant (Kalahari Sands Hotel) (all in Windhoek), Luigi & Fish (best place in Windhoek for fish), Raft Restaurant in Walvis Bay, Swakopmund Hotel Restaurant and Captains Tavern in Swakopmund.
Please beware of long queues and very slow service in Joe's Beer House! Time wasted waiting to be seated can be enjoyed somewhere else. But portions are still huge!
Beware of bad service at Saddles Steak Ranch in Windhoek (Maerua Park). High prices and tiny portions.
Some restaurants in lodges and guest farms offer excellent cuisine. Here are some of them: Epako Lodge, Twyfelfontein Lodge (dinner and breakfast are excellent but lunch is very basic), Sossusvlei Lodge.
