What to Expect
Bistro Veldemeers sits in the grounds of the Italian Club in Chisipite, and reviewers keep coming back for the garden as much as the food. Grace (July 2024) said “the greenery does it for me”, and Renée (January 2024) called it a must when in town, naming avocado toast as a favourite breakfast order and adding that the pizza oven means “you can really taste the difference”.
Other dishes get named often: Hilary (June 2024) had the chicken schnitzel and “loved every bit of it”, while Ruvarashe (2024) said the buns “were so so good”. Desserts come up too, from the Black Forest and pavlova on the current menu to the creme brulee Kelly-Anne praised on a much earlier visit.
Diners disagree on how family-friendly the place is. Esther (April 2025) found it “not kids friendly”, while Yolande (January 2024) called it a “Child friendly environment” with plenty of room to relax. Bistro Veldemeers opens daily from 08:00 to 17:30.

When you’re in town this is a must. Such a lovely and quiet place, looking over the garden. Breakfast has great options, avocado toast is my favorite. For lunch or dinner I can recommend the pizzas, they have a pizza oven and you can really taste the difference!

My boyfriend took me there for my birthday lunch. I ordered the chicken schnitzel and loved every bit of it. He had their pasta, forgot which one exactly but he enjoyed it too. We sat outside overlooking the beautiful garden view. Will definitely be going back. 😊
★★★★☆
The buns we had were so so good! Super fresh and filled with flavor. Had the roast chicken with sweet chili. At first it looked like to large a serving, but we both cleared out our plates🙈😅. Coffee milkshake was fair, but a little too watered down for my liking.
★★★★★
Great for meeting with family and friends. Child friendly environment. Quiet and serene🌻
