We visited the restaurant with our 2 daughters (10 and 7) for lunch. The food was AMAZING! We got to meet the owner who explained how they make some of the dishes. The waitress was very sweet and prompt. Overall an outstanding experience. We hope to come back soon.

Leading entertainment venue in Kisumu.Located up a flight of stairs in the cbd,the kitenge roofed lounge with comfortable seating and bar stools has fabulous views over the neat green city centre and view of the distant hills and lake.For those seeking privacy,there is a large private room for parties. The menu is a combination of continental dishes with the highlight being a seafood slant with squid,lobster et al bringing a pleasant change to the Kisumu scene.As night falls the place morphs into a bar like atmosphere with various nights including karaoke,quiz and Fri onwards a dj plays various afro house and other beats.Service is fairly good when it is not too busy with attentive staff,they have lunch offers too which are surprisingly very good. Avoid the bars that have rain pouring through their cloth roof and enjoy a night of revelry at this joint.

3. Victoria Terrace
Reviewed By Byron78
Dropped in on a Saturday evening,only 2 other tables occupied,waited 15 mins then went to the bar to get a drink before the waiter came rushing.Left to seek a place with more of a crowd to watch a WC game.Waiter informed me,wifi ws 100/- for 15 mins.Quite ludicrous in hospitality today.Thankfully Java has opened just down the road. Putting the first experience down to a one off,arranged to meet and have coffee with colleague from the nearby courts a week later.Friendly guard welcomed us in.Service noticed us after 15 mins,truly remarkable and then 2 waiters rushed up after i went to the bar to ask for service. Suffice to say,customer service is not a gd point here notwithstanding other reviews.Tragically the service actually ruins the great WC package for snacks and a drink which they have on offer.Dear Valued PatronThank you for your review, I apologize if our services has not met your expectations. I can assure you this is not the standard Victoria Terrace is known for. I am going to take your valued comments and work with my team to ensure this does not happen again. Our Wi-Fi is for FREE with any meal purchased , and I will ensure this message get communicated properly by our staff.We hope that you will visit us again to enjoy our true hospitality.Kind RegardsFrancois van WykGeneral Manager
4. Florence Restaurant
Reviewed By Byron78
Had dinner here decades ago and hope it would be of the same standard.Misplaced is the correct word to describe my optimism.The deep carpets,paintings and lovely bar are long gone.Instead a plain open space with simple tables and chairs greet one,a far cry from the past.A small menu and mediocre service added to the sadness of a limping giant heading into the abyss.The nondescript food was quickly disposed of and we made our exit.A real shame as Kisumu does need a better level of dining.
5. Pyroblue

If you are looking for a place where waking up in a place where your first glimpse of the day is an endless horizon of turquoise and blue, dotted with lush tropical islands.A holiday home created to anticipate your every whim, fitted with everything you desire, from teaspoons to terrace furniture, ready just for you. A haven built to the highest standard and beautifully designed and furnished using traditional designs and modern touch .This is the place.Apart from the bumpy earth road from Sori - magunga - nyandiwa, the serenity at the lodge is enviable. The food is fresh and has a touch of continental cuisine but i enjoyed fresh juices and fresh fried fish from the lake served with green veges and hot pepper.Most people do not know this place and its worth visiting, carry a book you have always wanted to read
