What people are saying

Selborne Cafe, inside the Selborne Hotel in central Bulawayo, serves a wider menu than its name suggests, including pizza and burgers alongside soups. John (January 2019) had “the double beef party burger and mince pizzas” and found the food “well priced and filling if somewhat bland”, while Tinotenda (March 2023) thought the menu “is to die for” though “pricy but worth the money”. Josephine (February 2021) praised the soups in particular.

Portia (October 2019) called the pizza “great” but felt a complaint about the taste of a dish was not handled well. Munya (September 2021) had a good first visit thanks to an attentive waiter but returned to find “Most of the menu stuff werent there especially sea foods” and a long wait, salvaging the night with the Mongolian beef and starters. Crispen (March 2022) thought the venue “Needs renovations and improvement on the menu”.

When it lands, reviewers describe attentive service, including complimentary mint margaritas that John mentioned. Selborne Cafe opens daily, 09:00 to 21:00.

“This place exceeded my expectations. Walk down this road and you would never expect this level of service, decor and cleanliness. The food was well priced and filling if somewhat bland for a 4 star review. We had the double beef party burger and mince pizzas.”
