Inside Nairobi

I have to give this restaurant the top rating. It is THE place I would take a visitor if I could select only one Nairobi dining experience. The house is set in a lush resort like garden. Absolutely wonderful. It seems to be no compromises on the interior fittings - it must have cost a fortune to build the place. I prefer to dine on the terrace, sometimes dropping by the bar for a drink first. Candles on all tables are lit regardless of whether guests have arrived or not - this is the kind of details that make the place stand out. The food is not out of this world, but it is good. The menu is European, with some Swiss specialties like Bratwurst, Fondue and Zürcher Geschnetzeltes (the owner is Swiss) and French classics like like steak flambe. The different starter salads are excellent - the restaurant grows its own salad and vegetables. All this does not come cheap, but the secret is to go on Thursday with your partner for couple's night. The food bill is then cut by half. Strongly recommended.
