Windhoek
Joe's Beerhouse for the classic Namibian game-meat platter (oryx, kudu, springbok, zebra, crocodile). Stellenbosch Wine Bar for a smaller, refined evening.
Swakopmund
German legacy — bakeries with proper brötchen, apple strudel, kuchen. Seafood at the Jetty or Kücki's Pub. The Tug for sundowner oysters.
On the road
Solitaire Bakery's famous apple pie (en route Sesriem). Fuel-station biltong (the dried beef snack of the country — get peppered). Lodge half-board dinners are universally excellent.
Self-catering staples
Bread, eggs, oryx mince, peppers, onions, garlic — works as breakfast, lunch or dinner in any combination. Buy at Spar in Windhoek or Swakopmund.
