Nairobi has no shortage of
eating places
. Their diversity is one of the city's best points, and eating out is an evening pastime which never dulls. Admittedly, African food is generally not highlighted in the more expensive restaurants which offer a range of Asian and European food, and spectacular quantities of meat.
This bias isn't really a problem. You can save money and eat African and Asian food in hundreds of unpretentious places, though to catch the cheap eats you'll have to go out early; by 8pm most of the bargain restaurants have finished the day's food. And if you want a burger or a pizza or a huge steak or totally vegetarian salad, it's all available.
With some exceptions, our listings are restricted to the city centre; but Nairobi, including the suburbs, has hundreds of restaurants with new ones opening every month.
Westlands
, in particular, is a culinary growth area, with every street and shopping mall containing a handful (we've mentioned a few of the best) and
Vasili & Sons
, on Mpaka Road, an extremely good
bakery
. Other useful information
