Cafe des Arts Nairobi

Africa Report profiles Café des Arts founded by Susan Deiters:

Susan offers customers the chance to not only indulge in fine food (always fresh from the backyard vegetable garden) but fine art as well. She fuses culinary creations with artistic masterpieces that decorate the walls and garden of the restaurant. She exhibits the works of local Kenyans in the eatery to not only add pizazz to the place but to help community artists at the same time. This way, she innovatively includes corporate social responsibility into her burgeoning business and assists economic development as well. To make sure every artist gets a chance to display their work she operates the gallery on a rotational system, exposing African art to her international clientele...For the future, Susan hopes to bring even more Café des Arts to Africa. She plans to possibly open another restaurant in Uganda or Tanzania and spread her joy for what she does.
