Fresco Cafe - Lusaka

My favorite restaurant features friendly staff and consistently fresh, delicious food.

I always enjoy visiting Fresco because the food is fantastic and the staff is incredibly attentive. Most recently, I went there for brunch with a friend, and we had a wonderful time. I ordered the Oreo and caramel pancakes, and although I expected a stack, I was pleasantly surprised to find that they were actually stuffed crepes. They were not only delicious but also visually appealing, served with a scoop of ice cream and drizzled with caramel sauce. To drink, I opted for watermelon juice, which was perfectly refreshing—ideal for the hot weather we’ve been experiencing. My friend chose the barbecue chicken wrap, which came with a side salad, and she enjoyed every bite. She had a strawberry milkshake to drink. As a regular customer, I was very pleased with my experience and I’m sure I’ll be back soon. Plus, the affordability is definitely an added bonus!

The food is consistently excellent and reasonably priced. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and attentive. This restaurant is strictly Halal, so there is no pork or alcohol served. Overall, it offers great value for money.

The Friday evening braais are always spot on. The moderately thick-cut ribeye and tbone are done on the charcoal grill, to perfection; tender, juicy and flavorful. Their sweet ribs are also amazing. The seating by the patio area is nice and comfy and ideal place to spend time watching footie and have a relaxing session with family and friends. Will always be a favourite.
