What to Expect
Victoria 22 in Newlands is Harare's upscale seafood and Italian address, and steak and oxtail are the dishes reviewers keep returning for. HreFoodie (June 2026) had the snapper and tomahawk steak, calling both “sublime”, and Denice (October 2023) rated it the “BEST steak I've had in town.” Grace (March 2025) “especially loved the oxtail and the peanut butter ice cream.”
A recent visit showed some cracks. Ruvarashe (May 2026) enjoyed the chicken breast but found “the bread would have been nicer if served warm”, and Ruvarashe's friend's short rib arrived cold rather than “fall off the bone” as expected. Mwangu (April 2026), celebrating a birthday hosted by waiter Victor, said an off-menu lamb chop special was “The star of the show.”
Diners treat it as an occasion restaurant rather than a casual one. Valerie (October 2022), marking an anniversary, called it “an occasion restaurant” and spent “just over USD120.00 for our two courses and drinks.” The kitchen serves lunch Tuesday to Saturday and dinner Monday to Saturday, with a tapas and wine bar next door.

Beautiful ambience and food. This restaurant falls within the fine dining category for us in Zim! The servers and host were absolutely warm and knowledgeable about their menu and specials and delivered it verbatim with gravitas. THE FOOD.

Had such a beautiful evening for my mom's 50th birthday. We had such an amazing waiter, his name was Victor. Go see Victor 😂😂😂🤣My mom unfortunately wasn't feeling 100% and he made it his mission to make sure she was comfortable and well.
★★★★☆
Was received with amazing service from the moment I arrived and throughout the night. Enjoyed the aesthetics of the place and the complementary starter, however the bread would have been nicer if served warm. My mocktail was a bit bitter, but well presented.

We had a lovely evening ☺️ We ordered mains off the specials menu. I had the snapper and my partner had the tomahawk steak; both were sublime! We were seated close to the fireplace which was lovely as it was a chilly evening. The staff were highly professional and attentive.

Fine dining in Harare! We had a very nice meal here -- my wife had a seafood curry and I had pork medallions wrapped with bacon. The side veggies were also cooked very well. As an appetizer we had duck spring rolls, which were great.
