Lonely Planet review for Don Brioni's Bistro

Don Brioni' Usually buzzing with a lively infusion of locals and tourists, this place under the Kiboko Town Hotel is suitably Italian in décor and flavour and the eccentric English owner is sure to come over and chat. Excellent steak, fish, chicken accompany pizzas and pastas on the menu.

    Fun restaurant for an Italian Food

    ranaf recommends this,

    After spending over a month in the brush, heading to Don Brioni's for pasta and wine was a treat! It's not the best Italian food in the world (not even close, obviously) but for those looking for a bit of comfort food, it hits the spot.

    Country Club?

    cicero_badat recommends this,

    With a steady flow of people going through it, its two open air terraces, the tinkle of water flowing into the pond, one can be forgiven for thinking its Sunday brunch and forgetting that they stopped by for a light lunch before returning to the office on a Monday.
    The fusion of simplicity and nature, with earthy colors and it's and it's minimalist decor and located in the Four Seasons compound with it's manicured lawns and array of exotic plants & flowers, make this an ideal restaurant for a lunch - a Greek salad (for those who prefer a light lunch)
    Or
    A 450g Rump/Sirloin/Fillet Steak prepared to your liking served with either chips/potato wedges/baked potatoes/rice and a sauce of your choice (for those with heftier appetites), or dinner during the week.

    The prices aren't at all bad with the cheapest item on the menu being not under $10.00 (after tax) and the most costly at about $40.00.
    The food is great and the portions generous. Regular menu items include appetizers, soups, salads, vegetable, pasta, meat and fish dishes and the specials menu tends to have a focus on local fish.

    I recommend Buchanan’s to any and everyone who at some point finds themselves in Lilongwe.
