The Location is located in Kilimani, at Alta Towers to be exact. I like the play on words in the name and also a fun name to get decor inspo from judging by the big location icon right in the heart of the restaurant. It’s quite spacious and the floor to ceiling windows allows in a lot of light making it feel even bigger. The 360 view of the city is a nice bonus as well.

The sun last week was so glorious, it prompted me to step out for lunch at Mezza. They are located at the new shopping complex on Rose Avenue, Kilimani, right at the top giving it a perfect rooftop vibe for a sunny day. Mezza is known for its shawarmas and that’s really what I wanted to try but when I saw the menu and saw how juicy the burger was looking….

I visited Canopy Cafe this past weekend for brunch and I have lots of thoughts! The cafe is located in Ushuru Sacco Plaza, Kilimani. The setup is very minimalist, with muted tones and scattered greenery. The space being quite large could do with maybe more greenery or some art work as the walls are bare making it feel emptier than it should be. They have a limited menu, with brunch and lunch/dinner and a separate drinks menu.

A rooftop cinema, cafe AND bar, Unseen was a fantastic find and it’s become a place I visit often when I need a change of work scenery:) I had a nice little date here with my bestie and we really enjoyed the food there. We had pork bao buns, kimchi grilled cheese sandwiches, potato croquettes & Korean fried chicken (my fave!). I loved the Korean chicken and the bao buns the best, they were so flavourful, so filling!

This is one of my favourite places to go to for brunch! They went really simple on decor: minimalist, muted tones and an open plan space which makes it seem bigger than it is, there’s some outside seating but majority is indoors. The menu is quite limited, which may concern some but for what they offer I think the menu fits. We had some coffees, the Chicken and Waffle (KSH1,200/), Shakshuka (KSH1,200/), Apple Crumble French toast (KSH1,100/) and Prawn tempura (KSH1300/).

3Dee restaurant is a restaurant that focuses on Kenyan food exclusively. It’s been around for quite a while but I only started visiting it more frequently in the last three years or so. Located at the 3Dee Apartment complex in Kilimani, the restaurant takes on the same name and is nicely tucked away in a corner of the complex. It looks like your typical restaurant with very little fuss in the decor and aesthetics.
