New Grillroom Open in Harare

The Liquid Lounge.

It is always refreshing to find a new place with atmosphere to visit for a drink or a meal. Rarely does one find one that suits all one’s requirements – a place to drop in and meet friends after work for a drink – relax over a snack or take friends for a good reasonable meal.

The Liquid Lounge fulfills these needs, plus it is an ideal place for entertaining business colleagues or for hosting a small function.

The décor is simple and clean looking with white tiled floors and areas for socializing, dining and snacking.

I like the use of mirrors that reflect the discrete lighting and give the grillroom a feeling of spaciousness even when a large number of people are present.

There are two bars from which patrons are served a selection of drinks at very reasonable prices. There are two areas for socializing and snacking and the large open area for dining is situated on two levels.

One is not conscious of sound going on throughout the room – a quality that is much appreciated. Even with music playing you can easily hear the conversation at your table.

Smoking is allowed but the ventilation ensures that you are not overwhelmed with smoke – a great advantage to those who are non-smokers and find cigarette smoke a problem.

I understand that there will be entertainment provided in the future and the raised dining area will make a perfect stage to accommodate a jazz band or combo.

The menu is limited but good – grills predominate with steak, chicken and pork chops heading the menu.

If all you want is a light snack there are a snack platter, sandwiches and other offerings.

Main dishes range from large to small portions so every appetite is catered for.

The staff provides a quick,efficient and unobtrusive waiter service.

Our hostess Faith Madziwanyika is an experienced restaurant and hotelier and made our evening very special – I am sure she will do the same for you.

The Liquid Lounge is situated at 3 Cecil Road, Rhodesville Shopping Centre in Greendale. Telephone 0912 365 975 or 011 405 601.

There is ample secure parking and they are open from 10 am until late.

Attack on Tsvangirai

I have just attended an opening of a new restaurant in Harare. It was here that we heard of the accident when Morgan Tsvangirai's wife was killed. It was an amazing experience. The party was about 50 percent white and 50 percent black. We heard almost immediately what had happened from a news source. From a happy enjoyable evening it suddenly became quiet - shocked. Everything became quiet - and then people talked. They were all saying it was an assassination attempt. The atmosphere was electric. The talk was of sadness but also that this might be the beginning of putting thing right...of people acting to put things right. We are only greatful that he is alive.
