Catch 22

$$$$$ | Seafood

The Mediterranean/Cape style of Catch 22, enhanced by soft linens and aquamarine tones, gives it a laid-back seaside atmosphere, which is tastefully complimented by authentic Mediterranean seafood, chicken and meat dishes, as well as traditional Japanese sushi. The seafood platter is a favourite featuring line fish, prawns, mussels in a creamy white wine sauce, and deep fried calamari. Open daily from 10am to 11pm, reservations recommended.

Primi Piatti

$$$$$ | Italian

Bloemfontein's Primi Piatti overlooks the scenic Loch Logan Waterfront and has two large fireplaces to warm winter diners, as well as a beautiful terrace from which to enjoy summer meals. Although Primi is a chain restaurant, it's a firm favourite with both locals and visitors. True to style, the authentic Italian cuisine is served in generous portions and menu favourites include the pancetta, with bacon in a creamy tomato sauce. Open daily from 9am to 10pm, reservations recommended.
