As a devoted coffee lover and food enthusiast, my visit to Papparoti Brasserie Kilimani—located in The Circle Mall, Kilimani—was nothing short of a delightful experience. I stopped by on a sunny Saturday afternoon, excited and eager to indulge in their famous offerings.
Upon entering Papparoti, I was instantly welcomed by a warm atmosphere and the tantalizing aroma of freshly baked goods. I decided to try their signature coffee-caramel-coated bun alongside a Rib Eye Steak, priced at a reasonable Ksh 3000. The bun, renowned for its unique taste, was indeed to die for! Soft, warm, and perfectly caramelized, it exceeded all my expectations. I can see why the buns have garnered such a loyal following.
While savoring my bun, I enjoyed the succulent Rib Eye Steak which was cooked to perfection. Each bite was bursting with flavor, and the portion was just right—definitely providing great value for money.
I had the pleasure of being served by the delightful Fridah. Her friendly demeanor and attentive service truly enhanced my dining experience. It's easy to see why so many reviews praised her! She made sure that I was comfortable and well taken care of, which speaks volumes about the training and culture at Papparoti.
Another highlight of my meal was the ambience of the cafe; it provided a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The decor was tastefully done and conducive to a relaxed outing, whether for solo dining or gathering with friends.
As I took in my surroundings, I noticed other patrons enjoying their meals with equal satisfaction. A couple of tables over, I overheard diners raving about the Aglio E Olio and the Alfred Pasta, both beloved by regulars for their freshness and flavor. This only adds to my excitement to return and try more of their delicious offerings in the future.
Papparoti Brasserie has certainly earned a spot on my go-to list for casual dining. The combination of fantastic food, excellent service from staff like Fridah, and a cozy atmosphere makes it a must-visit in Kilimani. Whether you're chasing after that perfect coffee bun, a hearty meal, or simply a serene place to unwind, Papparoti has something for everyone.
I can't wait to return to Papparoti and explore more of their menu. If you're in the Kilimani area or simply passing through, make it a point to stop by. You won’t regret it!
