Kadisi Restaurant

Blyde River Canyon

LoginSave

The Forever Resort's bar-restaurant should be a pleasant lunch stop with its cavernous, air-conditioned interior and Three Rondavels terrace views. Unfortunately, it's often brimming with coach parties. If you order à la carte, you'll face a long wait; opt instead for the lunch buffet (adult/child R160/80, served from noon to 3pm) featuring a cornucopia of hot and cold choices.

Breakfast and dinner buffets are served from 7am to 10am and 6pm to 9pm respectively. Fish and chips, steaks, toasted sandwiches and burgers feature on the à la carte menu.
