“The Go-To Lunch Spot in Nairobi”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 3, 2013

Although a bit pricey -- lunch for 2 is easily $35 -- the quality of the food, of the staff, and the atmosphere can't be beat. I'm a particular fan of their perfectly prepared ground lamb kebabs with tabouleh; it's perfection as are their iced lattes made with Dormans coffee. They do get busy though and inside at Westgate, the noise levels may discourage those looking for quiet.

“Relaxed ambience, good food, prompt service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 30, 2013 via mobile

Amongst few places in Nairobi that I highly recommend. Love the food and the ambience. Though service level faces a challenge during peak hours, one can live with that compromise. All in all a great venue to meet and enjoy your meals.

“Love the weekend breakfast at Artcaffe!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

Loved the menu and portions. Their service is a little slow probably because they have people moving in and out all the time. But whenever asked they have given a good description of the items on their menu.

“Pleasant place, nice food.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 7, 2013

The Art Caffe chain is a welcoming place to eat. I particuarly like Westgate & the branch at Junction, espcially dining outside (more so at Junction than Westgate, only because there is more room at Junction, not for any failings on Westgate's staff etc).

They have a wonderful atmosphere, good menu and very pleasant & attentive staff. It is a good place to chill, meet friends and have a nice afternoon.
