The Smokehouse in Harare's Belvedere serves grills and platters, and pork ribs come up as the standout. Robson (April 2026) called “the pork ribs are a must-try dish,” “perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor.” Rumbidzai (January 2026) ordered “the platter for two,” finding the meat “perfectly seasoned,” and praised the strawberry daiquiri as “one of the best I've had in Harare in a long time.”
Not every visit is equally smooth. Rachel (January 2026) found the food merely “okay,” rating it “about 6/10,” and said it “took quite some time for the staff to seat us” despite a quiet room. Waiters get named thanks elsewhere, including Tawaz and Moses, with Tarisai (May 2026) saying Moses “went above and beyond.”
