Loft
A warm, funky spot with the feel of a New York bistro, this place is full of bright modern prints and colourful chandeliers. There’s a tiny mezzanine floor at the back with a couple of tables and chill-out sofas, and a hip crowd packs in to enjoy mostly meaty treats such as springbok wrapped in bacon, and ostrich carpaccio.

Alan Bobbé's Bistro
The talented M Bobbé established this superb French bistro in 1962, and Nairobi gourmets and gourmands alike have been worshipping at his culinary altar ever since. Even reading the chatty handwritten menu is enough to send the palate into raptures. The interior, doused in red velvet, adds perfectly to the recherché ambience. Reservations and smart dress are encouraged, cigars and pipes are not. Look out for the poodle above Koinange St.

Casa El Farol
Comprises three separate eateries for the indecisive. There's a mesón (traditional restaurant) with good Mediterranean-style dishes, a bistro in the patio (try the goat's cheese and tomato salad with pesto) and a bakery with a German pastry chef, plus homemade fresh-fruit ice cream.

Chaplin's
This twee little bistro whips up some legendary food and, in an area where new places come and go in a flash, remains a true veteran. European meat and fish dishes predominate.
