An Oldie But Goodie – Thorn Tree Cafe, Sarova Stanley
A classy yet laid-back reprieve as busy Nairobi whizzes by, Thorn Tree Café is aptly named for the impressive towering Acacia thorn tree planted inside the restaurant back in 1958, The Café also carries a notable reputation for being the first pavement restaurant in Nairobi. Ernest Hemingway might have received literary inspiration whilst seated here, putting thought on paper that would make many of his inspiring hardbacks.
Located inside the iconic Sarova Stanley Hotel, Nairobi, the Café’s legacy of connecting travellers miles away from each other still lives on, as guests continue to pin thoughtful notes for their loved ones on the tree‘s message board.
Experience vintage bistro vibes ideal for a business meeting over a full English breakfast or an a la carte lunch and perhaps a catch-up over coffee and delicious, pillowy red-velvet cake.
Our Swahili Fridays bring to life coastal inspirations – the pleasant aroma of “Kahawa Tungu” fills the air, and the sizzle of “mahamri” carries on from live cooking stations, all part of a scrumptious, all-day culinary affair. The wood-fired pizzas get our nod as a must-try, with each serving as joyous and flavourful as the next.
Opening Hours: Breakfast: Weekdays 6:00 am – 10:00 am | Weekends and Public Holidays 6.00 am – 10.30 am 24-hour A la Carte Dining: Daily
