Mangaung restaurants in Bloemfontein – curry, steak & dining guide
Posted on 26. Mar, 2010 by admin in Bloemfontein
Although the city may not be renown as a centre of South African culinary excellence, there are quite a few Bloemfontein restaurants that would make even the snobbiest gourmand sit up and take notice. With an emphasis on meat and the prime cattle that graze nearby, menus here are often eclectic with a range of traditional African fare mixing with the best of Europe and Asia. Bloemfontein / Mangaung restaurants are not as filled with seafood as some of the cities nearer the coast, although it is still possible to find fresh fish at reasonable prices if you follow our guide. And the wines on offer are of a tremendously high standard so you will have no trouble finding a tipple to whet your whistle for the post-match celebration.
Most of the best Mangaung / Bloemfontein restaurants are to be found in the city centre and near the majority of tourist sites. Farther afield there are a few gems if you are driving between matches or just want to get out of the big smoke for a while. And as this is the centre of South African judicial life, there are some classy establishments serving only the best food the country has to offer.
