We have KFC and Nando's and a few other places. But I don't know if the food there is any good or what it costs. - Mar 2015


There is KFC, but the local Nando's is much better, in my opinion. There are some cafes in town, serving local fare, chinese, and indian. At these places you can spend as little as $5 for a nice meal. One nice french restaurant. A short drive down to the valley opens up your options to nicer restaurants. With steak, seafood, wine, a dinner for two is $40-$50 at what we consider the best restaurant around. - Feb 2011
