Schützenhaus Restaurant
Schützenhaus
Once a German shooting club founded in 1907, now a hotel with an à la carte restaurant serving German schnitzels, African beef and game. Often called the best restaurant in town.
Schützenhaus was founded in 1907 as a German shooting club and is said to be the oldest German club in southern Africa. It later became a privately run hotel, managed by owner Ingo Klitzke. The restaurant serves traditional German dishes à la carte. Its signature is generous portions of various schnitzels, and it also offers African beef and game. A small bar where smoking is allowed lets you chat with the owner about local life. Reviews are mixed. Many call it the best food in town, while others report slow service and menu items that are often unavailable. Reviewers recommend ordering meat. The restaurant is on Pastorie Street in the town centre, a short walk from the main street. Dinner generally does not require a reservation.
