I've eaten five times at Joe's Beer House in Windhoek during my four previous safaris to Namibia. In looking at the Travel Advisor website, they rate the Stellenbosch restaurant as #1 of 118 Windhoek restaurants, while Joe's is rated #3. Any AR members who have eaten at Stellenbosch who care to comment?

I have coffee there almost every morning when I am in Windhoek, the Tasting Room is great for a quick lunch and the Bistro grill serves up the best steaks in Namibia plus their game is also steller.

I know Joe's is a tourist mecca and their Oryx and Kudu are good, but Stellenbosch is head and shoulders above. Plus it is right around the corner from Casa Piccolo which I believe is your favorite.

Word of advice, while the Bougain Villas is very close to Casa Piccolo, it is best to take a taxi. Things have gotten a little sporting in that area.

I have. Had a good/great meal there. It is probably the best in town. Excellent beef. I do miss that seafood restaurant as it was a favorite of ours.

Careful on the seafood in Namibia. All the good seafood is exported. While Kingklip is an actual fish species, pretty much anything that looks like a fish is called Kingklip in Namibia. Unless you catch it, I wouldn't eat it. That's the reason why you won't find too many seafood restaurants there - the locals know better.
