Hellena's Kitchen
Hellena’s kitchen is located at the Basic Shopping mall in Kileleshwa. From the name alone you’d think it’s a nice, small hole in the wall type place but it’s quite the opposite. The well lit entryway already gives you the impression of a much bigger establishment and as you walk in you see just how much more than just a kitchen it is.
I had made reservations for dinner here and asked for a booth because I love a cosy setup but what I found was not a nice little booth for two but quite a number of expansive booths that can possible fit 6-7 people at once 😅

Coffee & Plant is a nice vibrant cafe located along General Mathenge Road in Westlands. Randomly stumbled upon their page on Instagram and said I had to go check it out particularly because they specialise in plant based cuisine and a fusion of specialty coffee. I also originally thought they sell plants too due to the name but I was immediately corrected once I got there.
The restaurant is big and I love that it has both an indoor and outdoor section by the terrace.

This fine dining restaurant is located at Galana plaza in the heart of Kilimani. It’s a French cuisine restaurant with an additional African flare to all their dishes. A hostess meets you at the door when you enter to direct you to your table. I found the place quite inviting - warm lighting, ambient music and well spaced seating so it doesn’t look too cramped.
For a fine dining restaurant though, I felt like their decor and furniture was quite dated, giving it a more aged feel as opposed to luxury… I think they need to spruce it up a bit to match their brand and their prices.
