Canyon Roadhouse
A themed roadhouse beside the C37 road, decorated with vintage cars. It serves large burgers and steaks, and its Amarula cheesecake is the signature dish.
Run by the Gondwana Collection, the roadhouse sits beside the C37 road about 20 km east of Fish River Canyon. Its restaurant and bar are decorated with vintage cars, old number plates and petrol pumps. It is the most popular rest stop on the way to the canyon viewpoints, with a Tripadvisor rating of about 4.3. The menu leans American, with generous portions of burgers, steaks and barbecue. It also includes game such as gemsbok and springbok, plus a game salad. The house specialty, Amarula cheesecake served with cappuccino, is the most famous, though some returning guests feel it is not as good as it used to be. The same menu is served at lunch and dinner, and dishes can be ordered individually. Passing travelers and guests at nearby campsites can dine here, and there is a petrol station next door. Mid-range pricing, with no clear per-person cost given.
