Perfect place for lunch or coffee when visiting Vic Falls. The view is fantastic and the menu has lots of good choices. Service is quick and efficient. They also have a beautiful little shop and art gallery!

As soon as we walked in, there was at least 20 empty tables and the waiter who met us at the door said they were all reserved and that we had to go down to this open area where the sun was blazing and it was super hot and it was basically open seating. We sat there and I asked the waiter and he said we could move upstairs so we went up there. We couldn’t sit right at the edge because apparently those were reserved and they sat us like in an insight table without a view. we sat there for about an hour and a half and those 20 tables sat empty and when I asked what time did the reservations get there the same waiter who was rude to us said he didn’t know but they were reserved and they would get there when they got there. The food was terrible were basically there for the view which was really nice. It would’ve been better if we would’ve had a view where we sat that’s the whole point of going to that restaurant. The staff needs a lesson in hospitality. Coming from Cape Town to Zimbabwe, It was so disappointing. Hospitality is not there. Don’t expect much. Staff is rude I saw that same waiter who told us the table was reserved. Try to scam a family who was paying cash when he swapped out a $20 bill and put a $10 bill in the receipt sleeve. He tried to convince the family that they gave him a 10 and not a 20. Thank goodness that family just ignored him and walked out. So they need a lesson in hospitality and beware if you’re paying in cash.

The view is amazing! The food and service were awesome. My only complaint would be the amount of tourists allowed to just walk into the restaurant without reservations and come disturb your view or crowd the table. It was a bit frustrating to be eating your meal while random people came around your table and took pictures.

Wow! Wow what an amazing place to indulge in out of this world views and exquisite cuisine. I highly recommend the “Pepper crusted rump steak” w brandy cream sauce. Our server; Admire was extremely attentive and personal. We throughly enjoyed our experience. Thanks so much Admire for your attentiveness🤗

The food at the Look Out Café was perhaps the only disappointing aspect of our trip. For a group of five, not a single person enjoyed the meal. We ordered butternut soup, which tasted more like ginger soup with just a hint of butternut. One of the soups was swapped for the beef strips starter, but it was inedible. The sticky ribs, touted as a favorite, were a letdown, tasting overwhelmingly of ginger and lacking any stickiness. Even the fries were underwhelming. We ordered chicken strips for the kids, but what we received were chicken balls topped with caramelized onions, despite our request for no garnish since they were for children. The texture of the chicken was akin to corned meat and not enjoyable at all. To make matters worse, my glass had lip marks on it. When I mentioned this to our waiter, he said it was because the glass had been stored in the fridge—perhaps he meant a "lip fridge"? The only redeeming quality was the stunning view, but since we dined at night, it was completely dark, leaving us with no positives to speak of. On the bright side, the chef did come over to discuss our complaints about the ginger, explaining that "ginger has health benefits." However, I would suggest they indicate on the menu that they use a significant amount of ginger in their dishes. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this restaurant.

Following a recommendation, we went for a lunch to the Lookout Cafe after visiting the Falls. The cafe is easily reachable from the Falls gate, even by walking, though of course, you have to pass through a gauntlet of very insistent souvenir vendors. The cafe looks very nice, the views are breathtaking. Food was not so. We did not expect cheap prices: Vic Falls are generally expensive and in such a touristy place as the Lookout they are reasonable enough. We wanted only a light lunch and ordered eggplant salad. I do not know why it was called that because there were maybe three small slices of eggplant, the rest was other vegetables and (mostly) couscous. We left all cheese as it was obviously old and tasted badly. There was no reaction from the waitress when she asked how was our lunch and we told about the cheese.

I booked this activity and received a confirmation email. However, no one showed up for the pickup on the day. When I contacted the tour company, they claimed not to have received my booking, despite me providing proof of emails. After requesting a full refund, they initially only partially refunded me. They eventually agreed to a full refund due to their mistake but still haven't followed through. It's now the end of August, and I only received a partial refund. I've been ignored in my attempts to resolve this issue. Save yourself the trouble and avoid booking with Southern Dynasty Safaris. I suggest arranging a taxi to the Lookout yourself—it's more affordable, and you'll avoid the headache of dealing with their unprofessional and unreliable service.

We had a fun and fantastic 3-hour lunch. Our server, Watson, was very professional, polite, and friendly. Reasonable prices and very good selection of food and drinks. Make reservations to get an edge/cliff-side table
