Myself and nine other Durban bloggers had the exclusive opportunity to be hosted by the lovely owner (Lisa) for a wonderful dining experience.
Located on Florida road in Quarters Hotel, Lola’s Bistro has a very warm and welcoming setup. From the tender age of 8 with dreams of running a coffee , to actually running a coffee shop and now running a restaurant, Lisa still remains true to her motivation for the cause.
Her passion for people, food, coffee and a sense of community has given life to a space which one can enjoy a full three course dining experience without breaking bank! I got to browsing through the menu and to be honest I am yet to find a restaurant which offers such great meals at such prices.
There’s something for young and older patrons . From the traditional burger to bunny chows to roasted lamb shank to fresh pasta towers. There are also hot and cold drinks to suite your desire .
Something quite interesting to know is that their sauces, chips, flatbreads etc. are all made in house (yup, from scratch!)
So, before I share what we got to try out, I would firstly like to share what I learnt from this session. Well aside from meeting such lovely people, what I came out with from this session was to be faithful with the small and you will be blessed with so much more.
PS: The meals are in larger portions, our portions were to accommodate for the tasting session.
Go on and #ExploreDurban !
