News Café
Conveniently located for those staying at the Mondior Summit, News Café is popular even with outside guests. The menu centers on "European style" dishes, but with some interesting twists. The place really shines in the cocktail department, though. On Friday and Saturday nights, the music is often cranked up loud even though there is no dance floor, so sit outside if you want to make conversation. Staff are young and sometimes inexperienced, but most of the time the service is quite good. Prices are somewhat above the regular fare in Gaborone, but then so is the quality. They have Happy Hour from 5pm-6pm. Buy 1 get 1 free on all cocktails.
groceries
Prices for western goods are at EU prices; local goods corn meal are inexpensive at grocery stores.
Choppies and OK Foods are local chains - they have the cheapest prices and are located in all areas of Gaborone.

Pick-and-Pay, South African Chain, has better quality and is more expensive than Choppies.
