Mint Lounge

Lusaka


A popular cafe with a small, stylish dining room and pleasant outdoor seating. There's an impressive selection of Western-style creations such as pastrami open sandwiches, haloumi toasted sandwiches or prawn pasta, along with some amazing cakes. It's a good breakfast spot too. It's within the Acacia Office Park; don't confuse this with its smaller, less atmospheric cafe in the nearby Arcades Shopping Centre.
