Mpumalanga and Kruger National Park Restaurants

Because Mpumalanga is a sought-after tourist destination, its culinary scene keeps getting better and better, both in larney (South African slang for "posh") restaurants and attractive cafés. Cuisines range from Mediterranean to pan-African, and many places serve local delicacies such as fresh trout, venison, Cape Malay favorites such as bobotie (a spicy meat-and-egg dish), and curries.

Food is cheap and cheerful in Kruger's cafeterias and restaurants, and usually excellent in the private game lodges. Dinner is eaten 7:30-ish, and it's unlikely you'll get a meal in a restaurant after 9. The more expensive the restaurant, the more formal the dress, with "smart casual" the norm. In Kruger you might put on clean clothes for an evening meal in a restaurant, but that's how formal it gets. After an exciting night game drive in a private reserve, you'll want to change or at least freshen up, but keep the clothes very casual. Wear long sleeves and long pants because of mosquitoes. Many higher-end restaurants close on Monday, and it's always advisable to make reservations at these in advance.

  • 1. Harrie's Pancakes

    $

    An institution on the Panorama Route, Harrie's Pancakes has included all manner of fillings in their trademark thick, fluffy pancake rolls since 1986. There's classic lemon and cinnamon or far more decadent sweet stuffings such as the iconic South African peppermint crisp crumble with caramel sauce and milk tart custard. For savory palates, the tangy bobotie with chutney vinaigrette is unforgettable.

    Perch on the porch along the main drag in Sabie and sip your way through the history of this area while sampling a chakalaka vetkoek. The Sabie Brewing Company is home to pet chickens, affordable eats, and homemade hops. Each beer is named after a character from local folklore, such as the Shangaan Stout, which shares the tale of how the Sabie River got its name.

    Dozens of varieties of crepes—both savory (stir-fried chicken) and sweet (fried nuts and cinnamon with chocolate sauce)—are the draw at this restaurant. Also on the menu are sandwiches and salads. Meals can be eaten outside on the pleasant wide veranda. There's also an interesting little arts-and-crafts gallery, which, like the café, is open daily from 8 to 6.
