Coffee @ The Bottom Drawer

 I'll admit to being obesessed with all things pretty and lovely and that is why The Bottom Drawer is one of my favourite coffee shops in Harare.  It has a lovely English country style garden and I  absolutely love the decor as well as the style of the furniture and the setting... for me it is the perfect spot to meet with friends for  a relaxing  afternoon or morning coffee.  I arrived  at the Bottom Drawer around mid-morning for a quick coffee break between my many errands. I ordered a capuccino and I could not resist ordering one of their many delightful home-made treats...a scone... I enjoyed my cappuccino and scone immensely...as I took in the the relaxed atmosphere. The Bottom Drawer also has an amazing gift shop where you can buy unique gift items for your loved ones.  

The following are their opening hours:
Mon-Friday 8.30am-5.00pm
Saturday 8.30am- 3.00pm
Sunday Closed

The Jam Tree Market & Restaurant and Bar

I was invited to the Jam Tree market  some time ago and up until then I had never been there. I was pleasantly surprised to find a lively market with lots of interesting  and very well organized stalls.    The market takes place every Thursday 8.30am-12.00pm.  Aside from hosting the market, the Jam Tree is also a restaurant and bar. The Jam Tree is also a great place to meet for coffee, lunch or a drink. The next time a went there a few weeks later for Sunday lunch.. I ordered their gourmet chips and absolutely loved them! They had a lovely sour cream flavour that is truly irresistible!!!


Opening Hours:  Mon - Sunday 9.00am-12.00am

Experience real Italian cooking at Little Eataly

I had occasion to go out to eat after a friend with whom I'm working on a project suggested we go and see the new restaurant, that her friends recently opened at Doone Estate,called Little Eataly. I had not been to Donne Estate in a very long time... so I thought, why not give it a try?  We arrived just after lunch, although we had not had lunch I was resisting ordering anything... but I liked the look of the place... a very relaxed rustic setting...we sat on the cool airy varandah and the smiling hostess came to greet us... before long she managed to talk me into ordering a vegetable tart... and it was really unexpectedly good!!! I will definitely order it next time..

At Little Eataly they make their own fresh pasta and they have a large variety of Italian dishes on their, menu. So if you are lover of Italian food this one place you should certainly try.

Opening Times: 
Monday-Saturday: 8am-5pm
Dinners: Wednesday-Saturday
