Food and other conveniences

There are many dining options in Bloemfontein. For eating out, there are a variety of restaurants located on Second Avenue and Langenhoven Park, as well as elsewhere in town. Some dining options are available on campus at UFS, particularly on the Thakaneng Bridge.

​Many restaurants are located in shopping centres and malls. Some centrally-located options include:

Mimosa Mall;

  • Loch Logan Waterfront; and

  • Northridge Mall.

​To get a sense of the price of food, it is possible to look for Bloemfontein on UberEats. Once in Bloemfontein, however, the far more reliable food delivery app is Mr D Food.
