Established in 1921, this historical restaurant is one of Malawi's more sophisticated eateries, occupying a library-like room with salmon-coloured seats and ornate carpets. The menu focuses on meat dishes, from South African Karoo lamb curry to flaming Jack Daniel's steak, but it also has a good selection of fish, pasta, salad and decadent desserts.
Our beef was overcooked, but that criticism is certainly not uncommon in Malawi. A band plays on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings.
