J's Fresh Bar & Kitchen

Nairobi


J's is one of Karen's most popular venues. The food that emerges from the open kitchen is excellent, from creamy risotto with beetroot, ginger and veggies to burgers and traditional fish and chips. The wine list is one of Karen's most extensive, with choices from South Africa, France and Australia.

With live music every Thursday eve, it's as good for a night out as for a great meal.
