Okavango Delta Food Guide: 6 Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Okavango Delta
The world's largest inland delta, Okavango Delta (also known as Okavango Swamp) is formed by the emptying of the Okavango River into the Kalahari Desert at the place where an ancient lake once sat. An immensely wildlife-rich expanse of islands, islets and lagoons (many of which change shape and even disappear with the coming of every annual flood season), Okavango is home to many safari camps, most of which aren't reached by road but rather by small airplane from Maun, the area's main village.

A business colleague took me to dinner here my second night in Botswana, and I absolutely loved it. I had eaten a steak the previous night, and I really did not want another steak. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger instead of a steak, and it might have been the best cheeseburger I have ever eaten. The beef was exceptional. The service was good, and the wait staff was attentive. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Gaborone.

The restaurant is an outdoorsy type of indoor restaurant and provides a nice casual environment. The food is good and service highly satisfactory. We were there as group and everyone ordered a different dish, which a lots of us shared with others at the table. Meat dishes were a hit and a variety of drinks were available. This venue serves well for a single diner, or small to large groups. Worth visiting

This place could be good for meetings because it's in a nice, accessible and safe location of the city. But the music is too loud!
The food and service is great. Everything is well priced :) The recommendations I could give is to turn the music down. The disco music is great... but perhaps not at 9.00am when people are coming in for coffee meetings. Perhaps this was not the targeting market, but unfortunately there are always loads of people having meetings and with their laptops! So, leverage that market regardless! Another suggestion is to the waiters: please don't stand at customers' tables and wait for them to stop talking or interrupt them to mention that you would like them to pay since you are going out to lunch...! Bit unprofessional
6. The Daily Grind

Artisan Coffee House offering wholesome simple food and amazing Coffee.
Reviewed By Emily R - Gaborone
The menu is café type food and well presented. Staff are very friendly and for the most part efficient. The venue is centrally located and it is a stone's throw from the Main Mall. The meals are reasonably priced. The place has a warm ambiance and when the place is full, its not unusual for the customers to share tables. An added plus is that the Daily Grind is now open on Saturday morning.
My only gripe is that on my last visit I went there for breakfast and then later on went there for an early dinner. Both times I ordered a pot of tea. The pot I received in the morning was much bigger than the one I received in the evening albeit for the same price. It will be good to have some consistency in that regard.
