Kengeles Bar & Restaurant
Run on the lines of a Western chain restaurant, Kengeles' impressively varied menu encompasses burgers, grills, Mexican, African, Indonesian, Asian and buffet options, and the open-air balcony is a fine place to dine. On a quiet night, though, the service can be truly lousy. The chain was rumoured to be in financial difficulties at time of writing, and had also seemingly fallen out of favour with Nairobi council.

Palais Jamaï
This five-star hotel has a superb position overlooking the medina. There's a French restaurant and a Moroccan restaurant. At lunch they serve a good buffet on the terrace above the pool (or in the dining room in winter): there's the salad buffet, or the salad buffet with barbecue and dessert.

Habiba Camp
If you want value for your money, look no further than this all-you-can-eat spot, which offers an especially good buffet lunch - pack in the calories and then spend the afternoon burning them off on a trek (or simply lazing about on the beach).
