We are in Tigoni today at the very picturesque Fig & Olive. It has such a nice, quaint farmhouse vibe, lots of bohemian decor and a very stunning vintage Ford Model A & VW Beetle right at the entrance. When you walk in you’ll be met by their retail store first which is fully stocked with unique home decor pieces, cool stationery and a variety of food products. I’ve been here twice (once on a weekend and once on a weekday), and both times the place was equally busy so reservations are definitely required beforehand.

Another day, another great gem discovered in Tigoni. Tunahama Tigoni ama? It seems to be the new Naivasha and I’m not mad at it😊 Heard about Nifty many months ago from my cousin and I always wanted to go but just never had the time until December of last year. I finally made my way down there with a dear friend for one of our many food dates😋 The drive to Tigoni makes me very happy, I think being surrounded by fresh air and lush greenery is what we are severely lacking here in the city so this little escape is worth it every single time.

Last December saw the great migration of Nairobians into Tigoni to experience the newest restaurant in that area - Como. Como made a splash in the food scene late last year and people were even more excited to find out that it is a restaurant by popular fine dining chef, Steph the Chef. If you’ve had her food when she was still doing deliveries only then you know she will give you quite an experience at her very chic eatery in beautiful Tigoni.
