Talisman 

The Talisman is an elegant Gastrolounge with an eclectic twist. Described as “The best place in town” by New York Times Spirited Traveler and one of Kenya’s top rated restaurants on TripAdvisor, The Talisman offers a myriad of experiences to our patrons.

Featuring carved wooden pillars from Pakistan, elegant Afghan rugs, charming fireplaces, sprawling terraces and idyllic gardens, The Talisman blends fine dining with unbridled eclecticism. With their hallmark greenery and fresh air, they have made every effort to create the ideal ambience for those seeking a candle-lit romantic dinner, a casual evening drink with friends, an outdoor lunch with family and everything in between – And all this is complemented by distinguished service from their cordial staff.

With fresh fish from Lamu, salmon from Norway and spices from Thailand fused with authentic locally sourced ingredients and produce from their organic garden, they serve up a delightful fusion of European, Pan-Asian and African cuisines. Try out their sushi and sashimi platter, crackling braised belly of pork with carrot puree, homemade gnocchi in Roquefort sauce and our sundry selection of desserts. Naturally, as a Gastrolounge, their menu would not be complete without English pub-style fish and chips and a classic American hamburger with all the trimmings.
