Going Irish in South Africa

irish restaurant upington south africa

I had read about this Upington place in Lonely Planet, and when it turned out I was dropped off right next to The Irish, I figured I might as well get some food there, after a walk through town. Don’t know if it is anything particularly Irish about the food (never been to Ireland). Didn’t look like it, but nonetheless the food was very nice. And I learned the servings are big here in South Africa. Even the waiter was smiling when she served me the food and saw my face 😀 There’s also outside tables with a view of the river. And there appeared to be a pub inside the pub 🙂

    1. They are? Can’t say I remember to have come across many, but then again I don’t go out to bars when I travel 🙂 This was more of a sports bar, I’d say…

  1. I have to stop reading your posts before eating breakfast, lol. They always make me hungry.

  2. Sounds like you found a nice place. As far as Irish food goes I love the fries, boxties, soda bread and white pudding. Thanks for sharing on #TheWeeklyPostcard

    1. I don’t think there was much Irish to it… More of a sports bar. But nice food, and I didn’t see any other restaurants on my walk through the little town.

Love to hear your comment :)
