Saskia Restaurant

Top choice in Limpopo


Decorated with Rembrandt replicas and stories from the master painter at every turn, you might expect this place at Fusion Boutique Hotel to be a bit stuffy. Not so. The cooking is fresh and assured, with Indonesian fish, Norwegian salmon and all manner of steak, lamb, chicken and (a few) vegetarian options to choose from. Start with the sublime garlic mussels.

Not content with being Polokwane's best place to eat, it also has cigar, cocktail and high-tea menus.
