Cafeteria

School Lunch

Good food is an integral part of everyday school life at the German School Nairobi. Our kitchen team cooks fresh and balanced meals every day, with a strong focus on healthy, varied and consciously reduced meat consumption. Two days a week, the lunch menu is entirely vegetarian.
The menu changes regularly, rarely repeats itself, and is as diverse as our school community.

Quality and Sustainability

When selecting our ingredients, we place great importance on origin, quality and sustainability. Wherever possible, fruit, vegetables, grains, meat and fish are sourced from local producers in the region. We aim to prioritise products from organic or certified organic farming.

Since the renovation in 2020, the kitchen team has been working according to modern European standards and the highest hygiene guidelines. Over 90 percent of the kitchen’s electricity comes from our solar system. Wastewater from the cafeteria is treated and reused to irrigate the sports facilities.

A meeting place for the school community

The cafeteria is much more than a place to eat. It is a meeting point, a space for exchange and a place to feel at ease. Parents enjoy their morning coffee here, teachers recharge their energy, and students meet between lessons and sports activities. The barista machine has almost reached legendary status.

Variety and Enjoyment

In addition to lunch, a selection of small snacks and freshly prepared treats is available throughout the school day. These include pretzels, wraps, fruit yoghurt, popcorn, homemade granola, rye bread, and a rotating range of offerings from the cafeteria kitchen. Sweet snacks as a small treat in between are, of course, also available.
Special culinary highlights are part of life at DSN as well. Whether seasonal treats such as Christmas stollen or popular favourites at school events like potato pancakes with apple sauce or cheese spaetzle, our cafeteria team is flexible, dedicated and always cooking with heart.
