Harare culinary scene.
The Wine Bar at Victoria Twenty Two, crafted by Chef Lucas, features an eclectic, globally inspired menu that shifts away from formal dining toward contemporary small plates and shared tapas. The dishes reflect the family’s international heritage, blending culinary influences from Spain, Italy, South Africa, Kenya, and Zanzibar.
The curated menu stands out for its bold flavors and elevated comfort food:
Signature Plates & Tapas – Braised Short Rib Lasagna: A crowd favorite prepared with a rich, four-cheese béchamel and a kick of spicy pomodoro sauce.
Seared Yellowfin Tuna: Listed on the menu as the “Deep Blue Dive,” this dish features expertly seared tuna paired with fresh guacamole and a sweet honey-teriyaki glaze.
Mushroom Truffle Pizza: A vegetarian highlight layered with rich brie cheese and sweet balsamic onions.
Hummus Board: A meat-free starter topped with roasted chickpeas and sesame seeds, served alongside warm, fresh pita bread.
Charcuterie & Cheese: A classic grazing option loaded with premium prosciutto crudo, salami, artisan preserves, and an assortment of imported cheeses.
Big Plates & Desserts: Fiorentina T-Bone Steak: For those looking for a heavier meal, this generous cut is served with decadent bone marrow butter and a velvety béarnaise sauce.
Amarula Malva Pudding: A sweet luxury that infuses the classic Southern African baked dessert with creamy Amarula liqueur, finished with cinnamon whipped cream.
Wine Bar Hours & Policies – Age Limit: Unlike the main restaurant (which allows children over 10), the wine bar is strictly an adults-only space (18+) to maintain its lounge environment.
Lunch Hours: Thursday to Saturday from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM.
Dinner Hours: Tuesday to Saturday from 5:30 PM to 11:30 PM.
