Classique Burger House
I’ve never actually visited this place but I’ve ordered from them plenty of times. If you’re looking for a place with simple yet great burgers, this is it.
They have a super popular combo called the fat boy combo that goes for KSH1,300 - it’s a double beef/chicken with all the works, lettuce, caramelised onions, cheddar cheese and this super yummy Turkish burger sauce that they have in all their burgers.
Capetown Fish Market - Zanzibar
I went to Zanzibar for work so of course I ate a bunch while I was there. Mostly hotel food though. One place I did visit that I would like to review is Cape Town Fish Market Zanzibar.
I’ve only been to the branch in Dar es Salaam, very many years ago so this was a nice refresher. It’s such a beautifully done restaurant, very big, very modern, very open, right by the ocean so the sunset views are as you’d expect - PERFECT.
Big Smoke
There was so much hype about this place, so I was a bit worried it wouldn’t match up but I actually had quite a pleasant time 🙃
Big Smoke is located in Karen, along Ngong road. There’s a very big sign on the road so you can’t miss it. When you enter it feels like you’re entering a barn but not a barn? I’ve never been to a Texas BBQ but if I was to imagine how one would look like, this comes pretty close.
Small Heavens Cakes
Small Heaven bakery sent me one of their medley boxes and being the sweet tooth that I am, I was very excited to eat cake all day everyday 😁 What I thought would just be a box of small sample sizes ended up being a big box of 8 healthy slices of cake! The flavours included Passion Fruit, Pina Colada, Sacher, Lemon Blueberry, Cinnamon & Cherry, Chocolate Mint, Fruit Delight and Lemon Poppy.
Nabo Bistro
Nabo Bistro is a place I don’t visit often but only because I’m not usually on that side of town often. If I was… I’d really be a regular. Tucked in a nice little corner of Lavington, Nabo Bistro is a restaurant that isn’t particular to a type of cuisine - they have everything from burgers, pasta, tacos, steak, sandwiches and breakfast too.
I came here for dinner with a very lovely friend and was surprised to find the place quite empty - it was probably a Wednesday evening.
The Wine and Bottle Grille
This bar & grill is located in Westlands, in Ambience mall. It has two floors, the ground floor has an outdoor section which I think is more of the dining area, it’s set up is quite different from the upper floor. Inside the restaurant though (still on ground floor) just has the kitchen and yes seating but it was so empty - from the time I arrived (3pm) to the time I was leaving (9pm), there was barely anyone sitting down there so I guess people prefer the outside area and the upper area.
