Sunday brunch at the new Radisson Blu
Every month, it seems, another Sunday brunch event pops up somewhere in the city. One of the latest additions is the Sunday Fire Lake Brunch at the new Radisson Blu Hotel and Residence by the Nairobi Arboretum. My wife and I tried it out last weekend, and we were impressed. Fire Lake is a great […]

An Indulgent Weekend at Hemingways
Swollen clouds hung menacingly over the Ngong Hills, and as the rain fell I was glad to be indoors. But given the luxury of my surroundings, I had no desire to be outside anyway. I was sitting on the terrace of the Karen Blixen Suite of Hemingways Nairobi, looking out towards the drenched garden through […]

Sunday Brunch and Jazz at Hemingways Nairobi
LIMITLESS PROSECCO. The two capitalised words on every brochure for the Sunday Gastronomic Brunch and Jazz at Hemingways Nairobi. Wise marketing, and the clincher for many, I’m sure.

Sunday Brunch at Marula Mercantile
It was early Sunday morning and I had no place to go. I opened the laptop and brought up KenyaBuzz. It didn’t fail me. I looked up Today on the KenyaBuzz website. I saw that at 10.00 am I was invited to meet up at Nomads for a big collective beach clean-up on Diani Beach. […]

Sampling Sunday Brunch at the Norfolk
I got an invitation to sample the new brunch menu at the Terrace of the Norfolk. I hesitated at first because, as some of you might remember, I wasn’t very complimentary when I wrote about the way Fairmont Hotels changed the place after they took over the management back in 2005. As Stephen Mills says […]
