Raith’s Gourmet

Swakopmund


Very central and convenient and open all weekend, this is a self-proclaimed bakery-deli-bistro-gelateria (though 'bistro' might be stretching it...) It’s mainly a bakery with fresh-made rolls and sandwiches for lunch, and pies and pasties. Indulge in a croissant and scrambled eggs for breakfast. There’s a good selection of meats and cheeses too if you’re self-catering or just planning a picnic.
