    Ramoma Rahimtulla Museum of Modern Art

    In Upper Hill, the impressive-sounding Ramoma Rahimtulla Museum of Modern Art is actually a small gallery in a large skyscraper, promoting and selling work by Kenyan artists.

    Florida 2000

    This big dancing den near City Hall Way works to the formula of booze, beats and tight-packed bodies. All-hours eats are provided by the Water Margin Chinese restaurant. Monday is salsa-zouk-mamba night, Wednesday is straight-up dance/trance and Sunday is Rasta night.

    Village Market

    The beautifully conceived Village Market shopping centre has a selection of entertainment activities to while away an afternoon, including the Nu Metro cinema, a bowling alley, pool hall, water slides, mini golf and a children's playground complete with toy-car rides and a mini-train circuit.

  5. E

    Porterhouse Restaurant

    Steak-lovers should make this discreetly swish 1st-floor restaurant their first port of call: apart from a few token dishes such as chicken kiev, the menu here is entirely dedicated to the art of carving chunks of cow, and with a two-person Chateaubriand for just around KSh900 it's easy to get into the moo-d (ahem).

    Fiesta Restaurant & Bar

    Despite the Latin resonances of a Hispanic name and bright adobe-style décor, the brand-new Fiesta doesn't have anything remotely Tex-Mex on offer, concentrating instead on a fine selection of upmarket international dishes. Staff are smiley and almost unnervingly eager to please, and the chefs do themselves particular credit on some very un-Kenyan recipes such as nasi goreng and pork chops with a honey and mustard glaze. The popular bar area occasionally hosts low-key live crooners.
