Meetings

These are my personal favourite locations to meet acquaintances or people am meeting for the first time. The setting is great is you have no idea what their preference will be but want to keep the meeting formal. Most of the locations are close to the apartment and hopefully your stay in Lusaka will be more interesting after you visit some of these places.
It has an affordable menu compared to most hotels, and the patrons and service is good. I like to go there for business meetings by the patio.
