About
The Food Movement
Welcome to The Food Movement, a hidden gem nestled amongst the picturesque plantations of Kilifi, Kenya. This unique dining experience offers not just a meal, but a delightful escape into a serene environment, perfect for both relaxation and productivity. As a food reviewer for Foodjoyy, I must say this place is truly remarkable.
From the moment you arrive, you are enveloped by nature’s beauty, with lush greenery and a tranquil ambiance that sets the tone for a memorable culinary journey. Customers rave about the stunning surroundings, making it an ideal spot for brunch, lunch, or even an inspiring workspace, as highlighted by satisfied visitors like Shireen Trader and Samantha Caras.
The menu at The Food Movement is a delicious blend of organic flavors, catering to both meat lovers and vegetarians alike. The fish tacos receive high praise for their delightful taste and stunning presentation, while the veggie wrap and nachos exemplify the freshness and creativity that this eatery embraces. For those needing a refreshing drink, the fresh passion juice is a must-try. These dishes reflect the community's commitment to quality ingredients and bold flavors, offering a sensory feast for every palate.
Yet, it’s not just the food that captivates; it’s the overall atmosphere. Catherine Toolan describes it as a cool community space, and I couldn’t agree more. The thoughtfully designed seating areas invite you to linger a little longer while enjoying great coffee and fresh juices. However, I must echo a sentiment from Chantalle de Witte, noting that patience is essential when it comes to service. Nonetheless, the laidback vibe and friendly service make the experience worthwhile.
The Food Movement is more than just a restaurant; it is a place where great food meets a relaxed atmosphere, ideal for family outings or solo adventures. As Yvonne Musila noted, the affordability combined with the quality of the dishes—like the must-try Rolex—makes it a beloved spot even after years away.
If you find yourself in Kilifi, take the journey off the beaten path and immerse yourself in what The Food Movement has to offer. With fantastic food, great vibes, and a picturesque environment, you’ll leave with more than just a full stomach; you’ll carry a piece of the Food Movement’s charm with you.

“ Off the beaten path and totally worth it! Lovel organic food with so much flavor and options for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. I loved the veggie wrap and nachos and had delicious fresh passion juice. Artsy space surrounded by trees and good for eating alone or bringing a whole family. ”
“ Very cool community space approx. 20 minutes from Kilifi. Design, seating and atmosphere means it’s a great place to hang out. Serves great coffee, fresh juices and food in a relaxed atmosphere. ”
“ Very chilled and laidback open air space. Surrounded by greenery, sleepy friendly dogs, and craft shops. Service was very slow and made several errors with orders. You have got to have patience to come here. But a great place for brunch or lunch. I had a margherita pizza, but asked for something different, the flavours were very bland and lacked salt. But great that they are able to do takeaways. It’s quite remote to get to, so you need a car to be reliable. ”
“ I love it. Very chill. Very good food, affordable too! The Rolex is a must! Back after 5 years.. We loved his place when we spent 2 months in kilifi during the covid period.. Back in 2025.. same great vibe. Great food. Calm vibe! ”
“ This is one of the places that I visited and immediately knew that I belonged to! A cool tribe of wonderful entrepreneurs who have created a space where you can be free, enjoy the food, co-work, experience different crafts and art, meet new people and listen to good music. I really loved this restaurant and the entire space in general, I literally can’t wait to go back! The entire team has amazing people, trust worthy and very friendly… you’ll feel at home here. It’s inside the Kilifi plantation, so you’ll need a Boda boda to take you there, it’s a bit of a stretch… Enjoy The Food Movement Vibe. ”
“ A real "bush pub/restaurant set in the heart of a plantation and surrounded by Kenyan bush. Reasonably priced decent pub grub and drinks. A general store with a selection of food stuff, coffee, liquor and cool drinks. Well worth a visit. ”
