Blue Elephant

Reviewed By Debra Choongo A

Blue elephant was one of the first places I visited in port harcourt.I had pasta and I enjoyed it..They have massive portions of food,that belly will definitely get satisfied..Service was great,and they have a pool(bonus for swim lovers).If you have a tight budget,then it's not really a place for you.Overall I would advise you give it a shot!

Ororo Restaurant

Reviewed By jollofmaster - Lagos, Nigeria

Large selection for the buffet but you sense presentation and quantity triumph over quality.
The setting is pretty good and as far as restaurants in big hotels in Nigeria go but the food seems sometimes to have its moments...
I did like the pepper soup and the rolls seemed to be warm and fresh which was interesting.
The main course left a bit to be desired (wasn't bad just not spectacular) but the service was good with the restaurant staff always coming by to ask if all was good.

Bole King

Reviewed By juliet o

I got on the website of this 'establishment' to place and order and found it not to be user friendly in the least. I ended up trying to call the place to order and after trying several numbers provided it eventually went through. When my "order" eventually got to me and by the way i ordered bole stuffed with chicken, it was so little compared to the amount i had to pay for it as all i got were a few shreds of chicken meat compared to how it is made locally, it was a rip off. It also did not taste so good and i find all the pictures on the site; misleading. If my review still fails the standard of personal experience, i will not be shocked

This was my second favourite restaurant in port harcourt. It has everything you want. From decent food to excellent service. The only downside is security, which is average unlike others with high security.

Piazza Restaurant

Their pizza for me is still the best in town. Still the same way it has been when it comes to the decor. Their other meals are also nice, not the conventional type

Kode-9

Reviewed By Emmanuel E - Port Harcourt, Nigeria

Had lunch with my family after church service. It was recommended by my wife, who had visited there with the children. Setting was cool and quiet. Food came pretty fast and was tasty. You actually get value for money - not expensive, even with the location. Service was very good and staff courteous. This place highly recommended.

So am new in port harcourt and I found sky bar on TripAdvisor and decided to go check it out with my friends and my 8months old baby only to be told that they do not allow babies.Apparently their are people who don't feel comfortable when babies are around.I mean I understand it's a bar,but it was during day time and the place was empty..It's a restaurant during the day but they just wouldn't let you have your lunch if you have a baby!Ended up getting some take away and surprisingly their food is amazing!I bet the bar is fun in the night though
