Karen Blixen Coffee Garden and Cottages

A beautiful evening at Karen Blixen – wonderful atmosphere! We arrived at Karen Blixen without a reservation and were a large group of ten people. Despite that, we were welcomed very warmly and given a table without any issues – the staff was incredibly accommodating. The atmosphere was absolutely stunning. The interior design took our breath away – it’s beautifully decorated, tastefully lit, and created such a pleasant and inviting vibe. We genuinely enjoyed just being there. As for the food, eight out of ten of us were very happy with their meals – great selection and flavors. However, two dishes (one pasta and one pizza) didn’t quite meet expectations and were unfortunately not very good. That said, it didn’t take away from the overall experience. All in all, it was a truly lovely evening and a place we would definitely recommend – especially for the ambiance and warm hospitality.

We had great food here at one of the outside tables. Pork chops, pizzas and the Caesar salad. The chicken tikka pizza was amazing. A little bit on the pricey side but beautiful gardens and atmosphere.

Our visit to the Karen Blixen Coffee Garden and Cottages was the perfect culmination to our tour of the Karen Blixen Museum. From the moment we were seated at our beautiful, shaded outdoor table, overlooking the lush gardens, we knew we were in for a treat. The ambiance was simply magical. We indulged in the Kenyan Mixed Grill Platter, and it was a culinary masterpiece. Each element – the succulent chicken, perfectly seasoned sausage, flavorful kebabs, tender pork chops, and melt-in-your-mouth beef shank – was cooked to perfection. The accompanying sides were equally delicious, and the entire meal was a true celebration of Kenyan flavors. What truly elevated our experience, however, was the impeccable service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. Everything about our lunch was flawless, creating a cherished memory that we will long treasure. If you're looking for a stunning setting, exceptional food, and outstanding service, the Karen Blixen Coffee Garden and Cottages is an absolute must-visit. Five stars without hesitation!

Had lunch in here, ordered calamari, ravioli & mixed meat platter. The food was missing flavors, meat tooo dry & they charged 2500 Ksh for 6 squid rings. Not coming back ever again.

Very nice garden and quick service. The justification for the 3 star rating is that staff confirmed our food was free for ingredients we were intolerant against. Evidently not, as soon after, we got sick. I would have expected more based on the price tag. Also, one waiter was (exception to others) was quite rude.

Great ambiance with a green and calm environment. Food and food delivery service isn't that good. Value for money only if you want to enjoy the ambiance and serenity.

This was our first step to our big Kennan Safari. The hotel is absolutely gorgeous with lovely cottages. The staff are all wonderful and helpful. The place is immaculate with lovely facilities. The bar is very well stocked and restaurants are lovely. Location is excellent and easy to get to local places.
