Bonjour from the picturesque Dijo rooftop bar & restaurant! Located at the top of the Mandrake in Westlands, Dijo is a contemporary French restaurant and gastro bar that serves unique French bistro cuisine, distinct cocktails and a stunning 360° panoramic view of the city. As you step out of the elevator and into this expansive establishment you’re greeted by a myriad of vibrant colours and prints right from the doorstep. There’s a stunning waiting area by the entrance which makes for a great photo backdrop (I think that was their intention with that section).

Kalamata (named after the Greek Kalamata olive) is one of Nairobi’s go-to spots for alfresco dining. It’s located in Lavington and is also another well outfitted establishment. They have both indoor and outdoor sitting with pockets of cozy corners for a casual setting and more intimate table settings indoors for a more formal vibe. Their menu is summarized into two sheets, one for food and the other for drinks (I hope other restaurants are taking notes, we don’t need to be reading entire booklets as a menu please).

This new bombshell in the restaurant scene has been turning heads with every pic posted and every reel shared. Mythos is located at Mwanzi Market, Westlands and lemme just say… I haven’t seen a restaurant that aesthetically pleasing in quite some time. Now I have never been to Greece (but soon come IJN) but I’ve seen a lot of pictures of Greece and their interior designer hit the nail on the head with the whole Grecian concept.

This place was a surprising find as I thought I was heading to Mythos - the Greek restaurant, only to find out that it was actually Mysa (confused the names lol). Located in the Gigiri lifestyle courtyard, Mysa doesn’t come across as a fine dining restaurant at first glance but once you sit down and get a feel of the place and the menu… you can tell it’s not just a casual setup.

ạtė is an intimate fine dining restaurant located along Kyuna Crescent in Westlands. Founded in 2019, this restaurant is a mix of charm and elegance with a touch of eclectic vibes all the while taking you on a most interesting culinary journey. This beautiful house turned restaurant has a stunning garden that you can see as you drive in. There is ample outdoor seating out in the garden or in the main restaurant as well as upstairs on the terrace.

The Summer Lounge is a fairly new establishment in Nairobi’s food scene. It’s the sister restaurant to The Spring Noshery and is located at Sarit Centre, Westlands. It’s quite a stunning restaurant, they really said we’ll give you ALL the summer vibes. Love the airiness and freshness you can feel throughout the place as you walk in and take in the vibrant decor. You have your mint green theme on the inside and a yummy pastel pink theme out on the terrace section.
