Alan Bobbe's Bistro

The small, hidden entrance a few yards from the busy Koinange Street does not prevent the Bistro from being extremely popular, so it is necessary to book in advance. The civilized atmosphere, quiet classical music, cozy tables, red walls and calm waiters combine with excellent cooking to make this restaurant one of the best in Nairobi. Downstairs at lunchtime there is a special and inexpensive menu; the soups are generally outstanding as are the salads.
