Amanzi

Top choice in Harare


Don some nice threads as Amanzi is a class act and still the special night out. In a stunning colonial house with African decor, local art (for sale) and an amazing garden, it serves delicious international fusion dishes with a great vibe. The outdoor patio is ridiculously atmospheric with a nearby garden waterfall and crackling fire brazier. Bookings essential.

Tapas is served all day and the bar is also good.

Its vegetarian Shop Café does weekday lunch buffets. On Fridays there's a farmers market with stalls selling multicultural food and produce, with 50% of proceeds going to the SPCA. Check out its website for other upcoming events, including live music on Thursday evenings.
