Small Heaven bakery sent me one of their medley boxes and being the sweet tooth that I am, I was very excited to eat cake all day everyday 😁 What I thought would just be a box of small sample sizes ended up being a big box of 8 healthy slices of cake! The flavours included Passion Fruit, Pina Colada, Sacher, Lemon Blueberry, Cinnamon & Cherry, Chocolate Mint, Fruit Delight and Lemon Poppy.

Nabo Bistro is a place I don’t visit often but only because I’m not usually on that side of town often. If I was… I’d really be a regular. Tucked in a nice little corner of Lavington, Nabo Bistro is a restaurant that isn’t particular to a type of cuisine - they have everything from burgers, pasta, tacos, steak, sandwiches and breakfast too. I came here for dinner with a very lovely friend and was surprised to find the place quite empty - it was probably a Wednesday evening.

This bar & grill is located in Westlands, in Ambience mall. It has two floors, the ground floor has an outdoor section which I think is more of the dining area, it’s set up is quite different from the upper floor. Inside the restaurant though (still on ground floor) just has the kitchen and yes seating but it was so empty - from the time I arrived (3pm) to the time I was leaving (9pm), there was barely anyone sitting down there so I guess people prefer the outside area and the upper area.

A new joint that’s giving Instagram girlies a run for their money is Cuban Code, a restaurant + cigar lounge located on Muthangari Road. I really have to say though - for a restaurant this fancy, why don’t they have signage on the road? I really thought Google maps had failed me because it leads you to this big office block called African Guarantee Fund - a building that looks VERY closed on weekends.

I heard about this place from a few people and never got a chance to visit until just recently. I never even knew the boardwalk mall existed until the day I went there😅 I thought Pablos was a stand alone restaurant but can you imagine the dismay on my face when I found it in the food court of this mall… a food court?? I’m already very worried. I will give them props decor wise though, the place looks great and they have ample seating both inside and outside (the outside area saves the whole food court thing).

Pallet cafe is located just opposite Lavington Green shopping mall, it has quite a small sign so be on the lookout for it so you don’t miss it. It’s a completely outdoor cafe which I love! The grounds are so green and lush, plants everywhere and the hanging plants on the low corrugated roofing make it feel like an open greenhouse. You can choose to sit within the sheltered section or out on the grass when the weather is behaving.
