About Us

The River Café is located inside Karura Forest, one of the world’s largest urban forests. It is accessed from Limuru road, across from the Belgian Embassy in Nairobi. The River Café is an al fresco, all-day dining restaurant boasting panoramic forest views, with wide, open spaces and high ceilings. It is simple and welcoming, incorporating a menu that takes advantage of Kenya’s wonderful produce. The menu features continental, à la carte fare including all-day breakfast.  
 
The River Café is the perfect place to experience a small part of Kenya’s natural beauty – guests can bird watch, take guided colobus monkey walks, or just sit back to enjoy an intimate lunch followed by a walk or bike ride in the expansive forest. There is simply nowhere like it in Nairobi.

After the nature trail, a tasty lunch

View All

4/ 5

We rode a bunch of trails and then stopped there for lunch. The venue is nice with a large seating area covered by a very high roof, open on all sides, so it feels like you are still connected with nature. Lovely location in Karura Forest. Can’t miss a walk or a bike ride and then stop here for brunch or lunch. Maureen made my reservation and she was not only friendly and efficient but professional as well. Kevin was our waiter and he guided us and recommended food and drinks and everything was so delicious! That said; enjoyed every bit of my Thai beef salad; washed down with a cold glass of ginger ale. They have a nice menu option also catering for the Vegetarian Friendly, Vegan Options, Gluten Free Options. The only downside is that the food is a bit pricy compared to the portion of food you get. But putting that aside, I enjoyed eating while feeling the breeze after a bike ride.
