oyal Dine - April 2019
“April hath put a spirit of youth in everything.” -William Shakespeare, Sonnets.
The very first Easter taught us that life never ends and love never dies. The InterContinental wants to wish you a happy Easter as you observe this month of prayer and reflection. Let us host you and your loved ones over this Easter period and on the most special days of all. “Our old history ends with the cross; our new history begins with the resurrection.” - Watchman Nee
The 20th of April is Husband Appreciation Day and we know you want to celebrate the man in your life. Treat him to a full buffet meal at the Terrace, a North Indian experience at Bhandini, dessert at the Plantation or drinks and ‘nyama’ at Makuti. We also have spa treatments if you would prefer to spoil and relax him entirely. “In a happy marriage it is the wife who provides the climate, the husband the landscape.” - Gerald Brenan
People who love to eat are always the best people
The Terrace continental buffet is unmatched in its variety and delicious array. Join us throughout the day every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner at only Kshs. 3,250.
THE TERRACE RESTAURANT
We are taking extra care to give you the best experience for your favourite dishes with our ‘Lamu Tamu’ night every Thursday. “One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating.” - Luciano Pavarotti
On the 21st of April, the Terrace will ensure you take a golden spring into Easter with a celebratory Easter Sunday Brunch to close out the season of Lent from Kshs. 4,250. Come indulge in all the tasty treats you gave up for the holy month as you round off your Easter. “A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act.” - Mahatma Gandhi

Cooking is like love
BHANDINI
Enjoy North Indian cuisine in either two course or three course combinations. Dig in over business meetings while toasting to achievements and milestones with our wines of the month from Portugal. The first is the PE Tinto which is a sweet, juicy red wine with exceptional freshness, aromas of ripe cherries and chocolate crushed berries. Its red fruits and warming tannins pair fantastically with red meats. Or The PE Branco which is well- balanced with subtle aromas of citrus, a dry palate, good texture and a pleasant finish. It works well with grilled fish and shellfish. “Creativity is not so much a boundless well, but an all-you-can-eat buffet of elements for your creative endeavor.� - Vera Nazarian
Bhandini is at the lobby level of the hotel. Lunch 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. (Monday to Friday) Dinner 7 p.m. to 10.30 p.m. (Monday to Saturday). Sundays & Public holidays-Closed To make a reservation: 020 32 00 322 InterContinental NAIROBI

PLANTATION
“Coffee is a way of stealing time which should by rights belong to your older self.” - Terry Pratchett

After which we will commemorate Banana Day on the 17th of April that will feature a special on our one of a kind Banana Cake.
