Seasons Restaurant

Nairobi


The cafeteria vats here always brim with Kenyan and Western favourites, which is probably why this local chain has a strong following. The buffet is small but (unusually for those who’ve been staying in safari lodges) entirely African in orientation. You can bring in your own booze, food or miraa (twigs and shoots chewed as a stimulant) for a 'corkage' fee.

The Nairobi Cinema outlet has a popular bar and beer garden, where you can bring your own alcoholic beverage and pay a small corkage fee.
