Let’s do brunch first:
📍Mode Cafe - Kilimani
This place is pretty new, possibly 2 months old? They went really simple on decor: muted tones & an open plan space which makes it seem bigger than it is, there’s some outside seating but majority is indoors. #nairobieats

The menu is quite limited, which may concern some but for what they offer I think the menu fits. We had some coffees, the Chicken and Waffle (950/), Shakshuka (1200/), Apple Crumble French toast (900/) and Prawn tempura (1300/) #nairobieats
The chicken & waffle comes with scrambled eggs on top, I don’t eat eggs so had that substituted with mushrooms. I enjoyed this a lot mostly because of the combination of flavours (sweet + savoury is always my jam), the fried chicken was delicious! #nairobieats
That chicken combined with the waffle, sautéed mushrooms, some raspberry and blueberries, whatever berry sauce was on the plate, & maple syrup… yum😋 #nairobieats
My only critique is that waffle - I don’t know why people make waffles so thick in this nairobi, haven’t found a place with fluffy waffles yet - is all that dough necessary surely? Wueh😮💨 #nairobieats
Didn’t try the shakshuka - because eggs😬 but my friend liked it, he did note that the eggs were over cooked and would have liked them a little runny👌🏾 This dish comes with slices of buttered toast:) #nairobieats
The French Toast😍 I usually stay away from French toast because I hate that it tastes so much of egg but this one wasn’t bad at all - for those who love French toast, you’ll enjoy this dish👌🏾#nairobieats
The bread is thick and fluffy on the inside and soft to bite into, perfect crunch on top, I don’t know if they make that bread in-house but it was amazing. The apple crumble drizzled beside the toast was also super yum and a great compliment to the dish. #nairobieats
Would have loved a lot more fresh berries though to balance out all the baked/fried items but pia hizo blueberries tatu zilikuwa tamu😅 #nairobieats
The Prawns tempura were okay, kawaida tempura (biased because Haru holds my fave tempura) but I also didn’t get the need of the liquid nitrogen pizzazz on every other dish..?? In a coffee shop? It’s okay, si a must but I guess presentation🤷🏽♀️ #nairobieats
The chef was nice enough to give us some little fruit bowls to start with, I think he saw our order and saw that we came with an agenda - to eat! Our waitress - Olivia was great, and took our feedback direct to the chef which I appreciate:) #nairobieats
This was midday Saturday and the place wasn’t full at all so it’s not a place that you need to book space for at least.
Overall I enjoyed this brunch & would go back to try out their main meals for lunch or dinner, Mode Cafe is open from 8am - 10pm:) #nairobieats
