Restaurants for lunch
Just a short list of recommended restaurants that serve lunch while on one sightseeing trips.
Hands down our most favourite restaurant. Especially as the veranda and deck have large shady trees. Also great for a winter's night inside by the fire. Originally the Hoedspruit Railway Station it's decor shows some relics from it's passed history. Consistently good food and the best pizza in town.

A quirky restaurant set next to the Blyde River on the Panorama route. Offering braaied food from an open fire. As the name suggests it is "potluck" as there is no menu! There is also a hike from this point.
