It was once said that Bloemfontein had more restaurants per person than any other city. This could stand true for the whole region.

The Motheo menu includes coffee shops, tea gardens, cafes, shebeens, gourmet restaurants & delis. For a traditional treat, stop in at any of the township taverns or farm guest houses, there is sure to be meat on the braai.

State of the art cooking is also coming of age in Bloemfontein with no fewer than 10 gourmet restaurants. Rural areas additionally have rustic tea gardens, roadside cafes, craft shops & restaurants in the smaller towns doing brisk trade in organic fare. The area is gaining fame nationally for good wholesome honest food with no airs & graces!

Entertainment ranges from theatre to casinos & concerts, to listening to a bit of jazz in the botanical gardens in spring. The region is not in the buzz of other cities but holds its own when it comes to having laid back fun.
