Il Giardino D'egli Ulivi or the Garden of Olives is a wonderful peaceful Italian restaurant set in an olive garden. The restaurant is warm and inviting with blue walls, checkered floors and chandeliers lighting up the room. You can even sit out and enjoy a little bit of nature while you dine. Do not miss the Caprese Salad, Melanzane Parmagiana and especially the Foccacias. Follow that with the Cozze Marinara, a mussel hotpot or even the pastas and you can finish your meals with Il Giardino's Dolce Della Nonna, which is delicious mix of Amaretto biscotti, nuts, chocolate and cream. The restaurant is known for its pizzas and other snacks as well so do try them. For more details on Sunday lunches and other information, do call ahead.
Perched atop the breezy terrace of The Main Change boutique, Living Room has been spreading oodles of cheer with its convivial, forest-inspired setting. This eco-sensitive cafe is decorated with well-manicured shrubs and plants of various sizes, while one also gets to see a few chirpy fowls flutter from one branch to another. The cozy hammocks invite health-conscious eaters to sip on freshly juiced smoothies and fruit shakes. Live music gigs held at this eco-friendly venue are an easy draw for indie music lovers, while one simply admires the efforts of Tiakaya Designs, the brains behind this concept cafe.
Set in a tranquil park, Moyo Zoo Lake offers a retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. By day, Moyo offers a relaxed, family (and pet) friendly atmosphere. Tables are set out in the park, and the surrounding trees offer a canopy of shadow to protect against the harsh sun. Hire a row boat, feed the ducks and watch while the kids do African arts and crafts with Moyo Magic. As the African sun sets, cocktails are served on the deck and fabulous live music set the tone for an extraordinary evening of fine African dining and soulful vibes. The Moyo experience always starts with a song from the Wishy-Washy ladies, welcoming you in the age-old tradition of hand-washing and face painting before the feast begins!
