Polokwane restaurants & dining guide
Posted on 01. Apr, 2010 by admin in Polokwane
Polokwane is a fabulous place to discover an authentic taste of Africa. From chowing down on roasted meat from a riverside braai as hippos graze nearby, to grabbing a burger with some friendly locals at a downtown diner, this is the true heart of South Africa. The province is famous for the quality of its cattle and meat forms the mainstay of most menus in Polokwane restaurants.
There’s no better place for indulging your primal instincts and devouring a Impala chop or warthog leg. But fruit and vegetables of superb quality are also grown nearby with mangoes, bananas, oranges, nuts and litchis the staple crops. And with succulent beef and venison plus salads and trout from the nearby streams, you will not be left wanting when dining at restaurants in Polokwane.
