Suave Lounge and Restaurant is the latest offering in the growing list of Gaborone’s eclectic restaurant industry. The new lounge and restaurant is situated at the iTowers ( South Tower) where it was previously Jessy’s Bistro. The new entrant in the market officially opened its doors on August 30th. An interesting dimension about their offering is the fact that they pride themselves for offering the best Cocktail lounge and steakhouse. Their market is ideally those who have a great taste for excellent food and fine dining experience rewarding them with a touch of top- notch ambiance and world class service.
A casual walk through the restaurant opens up to the possibilities that many who will frequent this place can look forward to. Still under construction, the first phase of the restaurant is a stunner. A view through the deck, also gives clients something that can lighten up their mood and make beautiful memories.
And most importantly, a wine cellar offers those who appreciate good wines from across the world with endless options about what they can pair their meals with or just indulge in a glass or two of wines from across the world. Dubbed the Wines of the World, the cellar is a central feature of the lounge and offers an array of wine selections from places such as France, Portugal, Brazil and South Africa.
In a nutshell, they have a bit of this and that for their clients. Take for example, a private lounge in the event that clients are looking for a venue to book, and a bigger and spacious lounge. She further notes that they are opening up in phases. A steak house, is known for serving the finest cut of beef, and this is something that they are tapping into and wish to be known for. Be it, you love your meat aged, cooked medium or any other way that you prefer your juicy piece of steak, rest assured that you will get it just right.
Speaking in an interview with the Marketing Coordinator, Laura Sekwababe, explains that the owners of the restaurant have travelled extensively. And are using their travels to offer the local clients something that is not available in the market. She also says that everything about the place is welcoming, and refreshing, and that topping all of that with the décor, ambience and their equally qualified staff, one is guaranteed a beautiful time.
“We are proudly a steak house and we want to showcase the best of Botswana beef to the world,” she says adding that they recommend their steak to anyone who is hungry to tuck into a scrumptious meal. She further says that besides the steak, they also have a diverse menu that caters to an array of clients.
The overall aim about their offering is that they wish to offer clients with different experiences such as the regular dining, bespoke events and most importantly weekly event promotions such as Meat Lovers Monday and Pizza Tuesdays and so much more.
“We aim to keep our offering fresh and exciting through creative concepts and collaborations with leading industry partners,” she explains.
