Eating & Drinking
If the sea has been bountiful, various hotels serve the catch of the day, though you can al-
ways count on a long list of German specialities. If you're self-catering, there are a num-
ber of supermarkets as well as small seafood merchants in town. And finally, if you're a
drinker, most restaurants double as watering holes, though Lüderitz tends to be fairly sub-
dued once the sun drops.
Bistro D'Cafe $$
(Hafen St; mains N$60-90; breakfast & lunch, dinner, closed Sun; )
This cosy little
restaurant has a simple set-up with the emphasis on the lovingly prepared food not the
aesthetics. The cute menus (remember the Rubik's cube?) reveal seafood dishes (such as
the platter, N$180) and a smattering of other options including coronation chicken. The
presentation of the food is delightful and everything is cooked fresh - love and time are
the two most important ingredients in the food.
BISTRO
Barrels $$
( 202458; 5 Natchtigal St; mains N$45-100; dinner Mon-Fri)
A wonderfully fest-
ive bar-restaurant accented by occasional live music , Barrels offers rotating daily specials
highlighting fresh seafood and German staples. Portions are hefty and the buffet (N$120)
is great value. Bar opens at 6pm.
GERMAN
Ritzi's Seafood Restaurant $$
( 202818; Waterfront; mains N$80; breakfast, lunch & dinner, closed Mon break-
fast & Sun)
Occupying a choice location in the waterfront complex, Ritzi's is the town's
top spot for amazing seafood matched with equally amazing sunset views. Try the assor-
ted seafood curry (N$75), or seafood platter (one/two persons N$200/300); there's a de-
cent wine selection, and outside dining catches the breeze and the views.
SEAFOOD
Diaz Coffee Shop $
(cnr Bismarck & Nachtigal Sts; snacks & meals N$25-45; breakfast, lunch)
The cap-
puccinos are strong and the pastries are sweet, and the ambience wouldn't at all look out
