Bistro Lolo

Bistro Lolo is a neighbourhood bistro in Lavington, Nairobi, where breakfast turns into long lunches and dinner runs late into the night.

Expect poolside bites in the sun, weekend brunches worth lingering over, and a menu built on French technique with a distinctly Nairobi sense of fun.

Pull up a chair, order something you can’t pronounce, and let the evening figure itself out.

A taste of Lolo

“I came for the coffee, stayed for the people, and left wondering if they’d notice if I moved in. It’s not too fancy, it’s just really, really good.”
