Cassia Restaurant
Refined dining beneath the Cassia trees
Welcome to Cassia Restaurant
Located at Ilala Lodge Hotel, Cassia Restaurant offers a refined dining experience with a focus on quality cuisine and a carefully selected wine list from South Africa’s leading vineyards. The setting is relaxed and traditional, with indoor and outdoor dining available.
Set within the hotel’s gardens and within earshot of Victoria Falls, the award-winning restaurant takes its name from the Cassia Fistula trees positioned in front of the property, facing towards the Falls.
Guests can enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily. Mornings begin with a continental buffet, complemented by a cooked breakfast menu. Lunch is served beneath the shade of the Cassia trees or around the poolside bar, with a selection of lighter dishes and more substantial options.
In the evening, guests can dine al fresco under African skies, with the sound of the Falls in the background. The menu is supported by a curated wine list, along with a selection of beers, gins, and cocktails.
Zambezi River Deck Experience
Dine on the banks of the Zambezi River, on a multi-level wooden deck in the heart of the Zambezi National Park. Situated just a 5-minute drive from Ilala Lodge Hotel, the Zambezi River Deck Experience offers an open-fire, barbecue-style dinner under the stars, with freshly prepared dishes inspired by traditional Zimbabwean flavours and a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, served by dedicated staff.
High Tea at Palm River Hotel

Indulge in panna cottas, dainty sandwiches, mini macarons, buttery scones with whipped cream and strawberry preserves and more, all enjoyed under the shade of indigenous trees by the tranquil river.
