Exciting places to eat in Mbombela when you stay at Mbombela Lodge
As an up and coming city, Mbombela has a lot to offer, including a myriad of fantastic places to eat. Along with all of the more conventional places you could have a sit-down meal, Mbombela also has many restaurants which are considered quaint, certainly not run of the mill. Whether it is the setting that you find them in or the food they serve up, quaint is the vibe you will get.
When we say quaint, we’re not talking quirky, those are two different characteristics altogether. What we’re talking about are the restaurants that are known for being different and offering something you might not find elsewhere. These are boutique eateries and considering the location of Mbombela Lodge, you might just find that you are within walking distance of some of these places to eat.
These are our recommendations of the best places to eat in Mbombela
Orange Restaurant
The name of the restaurant is enough to let you know that when eating here, you are certainly in for a treat! Orange Restaurant is situated on a hill above the city and it offers some of the most delectable fine dining in the area, as well as an unbelievable view. This eatery specialises in all kinds of dining, with a very modern meets traditional menu.

With a menu consisting of vegan and vegetarian options alongside contemporary and fusion dishes, your pallet is going to be very appreciative of what is on offer. Zest is fine dining at its best, and it is reasonably priced.
Sophie’s Bistro
While not quite in Mbombela, Sophie’s is close to town and its almost rustic setting gives it a truly homey feeling. Not only does Sophie’s excel at the food it makes, but every guest is treated to a laidback atmosphere. The meals are hearty and really filling, and the prices won’t make your eyes water. It is a smaller restaurant, but you won’t be elbow to elbow with fellow dinners. This factor makes Sophie’s the perfect place for couples.
Kuzuri
Now situated in the Sonpark Centre, Kuzuri is just around the corner from Mbombela Lodge and it offers a fantastic menu along with a really chilled vibe. If you are looking for the perfect place to stop for lunch, this would be it. Here you can eat outdoors, under the trees and just sit back and relax.
