In Our Opinion

‘However long you have booked in for will be too short! We suggest you select a few more reasons for extending your stay and give your butler more time to pander gently to your needs’

Brasserie
The Brasserie is reputed to serve some of the best steaks in Kenya and pioneers cooking technology such as grilled beef on an imported charcoal oven called a Josper and ‘a la plancha’ and sous-vide techniques. The restaurant celebrates with Seafood Fridays and Saturdays that include the Watamu prawn masala and ginger crab. Breakfasts are a delight with freshly baked pastries and bread; Champagne afternoon teas are also a highlight amongst residents as well as visitors.
Bar
This luxury bar is a contemporary venue which exudes the cosiness of a private members’ club. There is comfortable indoor as well as terrace seating and a grand selection of old and new world wines. Try one of the fashionable cocktails or classic recipes with a retro kick such as Brandy Alexander, papa Doble or Mint Julep.
