The Best Places to Eat in Nelspruit

The Best Places to Eat in Nelspruit

Sometimes, it is worth visiting a town just to eat at one of its more popular restaurants, cafes or coffee shops. Nelspruit might not be the biggest city you will visit while on your travels, but it sure has more than its share of fantastic places to enjoy truly delectable food.

When staying at Nelspruit Lodge, our central location means that there are countless fantastic places to eat just around the corner. Our Nelspruit accommodation also has an on-site dining facility, but we encourage you to try out some of the great places to eat in Nelspruit, while you are in the city. And to help you find the perfect eatery, here is our list of the best places, offering both fine dining as well as quick bites.

Kuzuri

Given the location of Nelspruit Lodge, Kuzuri is a must. They have only recently relocated into the area and they bring with them a fabulous, affordable menu. We are within walking distance of the popular Sonpark Centre which comes alive at night. This area is a hub of social activity. However, Kuzuri is more of a breakfast and lunch restaurant. The prices are very affordable and the myriad of food choices will not disappoint. This is a fine dining meets casual restaurant and its outdoor eating area is fantastic.

Kombu Sushi and Oyster Bar

If you love your sushi, you will that Kombu provides a deliciously diverse sushi selection. Kombu can be found at the bustling Crossing Centre, and the ambience is enough to make this a memorable place to eat. With the low lighting and private booths, you can enjoy a meal on your own, host a business dinner or have a romantic night out. Kombu has a lot to offer.

Kombu does not have a website but you can give them a call on 013 752 2721

The Jock Pub and Grill

A completely relaxed, family-friendly environment, The Jock Pub and Grill is not only really affordable but the menu is really diverse and the food is always fresh. Weeknights are quite calm and easy going, while Friday and Saturday nights are generally party nights. They are open from early in the morning to late into the evenings, making it a fantastic place to stop for lunch.

Ilanga Mall: Nelspruit’s Indoor Playground

Ilanga Mall: Nelspruit’s Indoor Playground

Visiting Nelspruit presents a whole lot of opportunities to immerse yourself in nature and get outdoors. Hiking, picnics and safaris are all just a short drive away. The reason why most holidaymakers head to Nelspruit is to enjoy some sunshine and fresh air. But as an ever-growing city, we have some great indoor entertainment that you can indulge in.

We’re not well known for our malls and shopping centres. However, some recent new additions to the city have meant there is more to do here than hiking and safaris trips. In the past, our shopping malls have been just a convenient place to get your shopping done, but with Ilanga Mall’s recent revamp, there is a new reason to head to Nelspruit.

Ilanga Mall is located on the N4, just on the outskirts of our ever-expanding town.  Ilanga Mall had it all and is still one of the best places to enjoy some good shopping, and some great food at one of its many eateries. After a day of hiking or after spending your time on a safari, coming to the mall in the evening and tucking into a meal is one of the best ways to end the day.

The open piazza style eating area brings all types of culinary tastes to one place. From relaxed dining to the more formal affair, with the variety of places to eat here, you are never without a choice. The mall also offers outdoor dining with great views of the busy city road as well as the distant mountains.

For the past few years, it has become the go-to shopping centre, but it lacked in the entertainment department.

But now with its recent expansion, the mall is the perfect indoor playground!

If the great outdoors doesn’t quite do it for you and you are rather in the mood for something else, you should consider some of the latest activities on offer at Ilanga. It is the only place in town where you can watch a movie, in great comfort and style, enjoy some gaming at the Fun Company and then try your luck at ice skating. You can have hours of entertainment while here and add some versatility to your holiday.

Nelspruit has become the perfect place to enjoy the best of both worlds. Your holiday planning can include trips to the nearby historical towns and you should spend some time in the Kruger Park. But once you’ve had your fill, you can include ice skating and a movie on those days when you don’t feel like adventuring!
