Fort Sesfontein Restaurant

Fort Sesfontein Lodge Restaurant

A lodge restaurant in a former fort from the German colonial era, serving casual lunches in a palm-shaded courtyard and a four-course set dinner in the evening.

Fort Sesfontein was converted from an old German colonial-era fort and is an oasis on the route through the Hoanib River valley to Purros. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. According to the official website, both day visitors and overnight guests can dine here. Lunch is a casual meal with local and international flavors, and one diner said the grilled sandwich was the best they had ever eaten. Dinner is a four-course set menu that starts with soup and is often served by the pool or in the palm-shaded courtyard. Vegetarian meals must be requested in advance. The bar serves soft drinks, wine, and spirits. Reviews vary, but recent ones generally consider it adequate for such a remote location. An older review listed dinner at about N$340 per person, and current prices are likely higher. The restaurant is located in Sesfontein village.
