With its warm and inviting ambiance, and serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, the Brasserie offers a wide choice of international dishes with modern European and South Asian flavours.
Savour dishes for every appetite at Hemingways Nairobi – hearty breakfasts with pastries and bread, freshly baked in our bakery every day, traditional English afternoon teas with delicious scones and classic finger sandwiches, our special In-House made pasta and our signature Josper oven – an indoor barbeque to produce the finest steaks. We offer light bites to be enjoyed in the bar, on the terrace or at the pool and our 24 hour in room dining service offers guests the chance to relax in their suite in complete privacy.
Our Executive Chef focuses on simply cooked free-range products using the freshest ingredients sourced directly from Kenyan farms. Throughout your stay at Hemingways Nairobi, our chefs are at your service so if you can’t find what you are looking for on any of our menus nothing is too much trouble to prepare.
Breakfast
Our chefs have spent years researching breakfast to make sure you get what you need to start your day. They work on the premise that breakfast is the last meal that you eat when you leave a hotel and want that final memory to conjure up the wonderful taste of that departure.
Seasonal fresh fruits, healthy cereals, freshly squeezed juices, homemade pastries and elaborate Viennoisseries, and cold cuts are served buffet style whilst the ‘a la Carte’ hot breakfast menu offers eggs galore, smoked salmon bagels and a stacked bacon sandwich to stop all conversation.
Lunch
Our Brasserie menu caters to all lunchtime tastes and appetites with a wide selection of soups and appetizers, healthy salads, hearty sandwiches and juicy burgers. For those guests wanting something a little more extensive, the Josper oven is always burning so a sumptuous char-grilled fillet steak can be a welcome temptation. Sit back, relax and enjoy our world class service while taking in the famous views of the Ngong Hills.
Dinner
Refined food with a relaxed feel, the Brasserie terrace is the perfect place for a relaxing dinner among friends and family. Weekly seasonal specials, such as the Watamu prawn masala and ginger crab, supplement our Brasserie menu and offer our guests a memorable dining experience. Our extensive wine list, featuring old and new world wines, delivers the perfect accompaniment to signature steaks grilled under the Josper oven whilst the in house made pastas provide warming fare during the rare chilly nights in Nairobi. Refreshing appetizers like the exotic Hemingways sushi plate and the more traditional butternut soup offer a lovely entrée to dining in the Brasserie whilst delicious desserts and a sumptuous selection of local cheeses provide the perfect ending.
Afternoon Tea
The terrace is the place to be between 3 o’clock and 5 o’clock everyday, as we serve a traditional English afternoon tea. Out comes the cake stand, burgeoning with handcrafted miniature cakes, gateaux opera, fruit delice, mini-éclairs and fruit tartlets. Lavish your freshly baked scones, warm from the oven, with clotted cream, homemade strawberry jam and lemon curd. The finger sandwiches offer classic fillings on white and brown bread. There is an exotic selection of teas and infusions to compliment your tasty treats; and why not add some fizz to your afternoon tea with a glass of sparkling Prosecco.
Hemingways Bar
The décor is intimate yet upmarket with a feel of the private gent’s club; leather Chesterfield sofas on fine Italian marble in front of the fireplace all under the eye of the master barmen. As if that wasn’t enough one can sit back and relax on the bar terrace and take in the views of the Ngong Hills while savoring that Single Malt and a cigar. Lighter, modern flavors characterize our fashionable cocktail menu as we pair fresh exotic flavors with soaring spirits and our wine cellar offers a wide selection of wines from across the globe.
