Thorn Tree Cafe

Sarova Stanley

The Thorn Tree Cafe is a legendary open air, bistro style pavement cafe that is most famous for its towering Acacia tree and message board located at the centre of the restaurant. Legend purports that the Thorn Tree Cafe became a makeshift post box for travellers who left mail pinned onto its trunk. 'Tree mail' endures despite email and the Thorn Tree Cafe flourishes at the crossroads of Africa.

From time in memorial the cafe has been the perfect meeting place and offers a remarkable dining experience in the central business district offering a deli counter, pizzas from a wood-fired oven and a menu which includes popular continental and nouvelle dishes.
