LOYAL DINE
L oyal Dine - November 2019 The InterContinental Nairobi is here to help you complete this last leg. For all your end of year meetings, the ambiance in any of our four restaurants is the ultimate backdrop for your closeout sessions while our amazing cuisine selections will help smoothen the process. Remember that year’s end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instil in us. Use this last month before the holiday season to accomplish those things that matter while making time for the people that matter. “In November, the smell of food is different. It is an orange smell. A squash and pumpkin smell. It tastes like cinnamon and can fill up a house in the morning, can pull everyone from bed in a fog. Food is better in November than at any other time of the year.� - Cynthia Rylant

THE TERRACE RESTAURANT Veganism is not a sacrifice. It is a joy World Vegan Day on the 1st of November gives you the perfect opportunity to consider a purely plant-based diet and adopt the vegan lifestyle. Veganism is not only beneficial for one’s general health, but it also fosters environmental protection. The Terrace will commemorate the day with an array of flavourful and diverse vegan options that might just make you a convert! “I’m a vegan. I respect the environment and I do my best to spread the importance of such an issue.”-Jared Leto Celebrate the year’s blessings and abundance with your loved ones at our Thanksgiving dinner buffet on the 28th. Look forward to classic dishes such as turkey, stuffing, roasted vegetables, casseroles, and pies. “Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.”- Melody Beattie Wines of the Month This month the Terrace is featuring wine from Australia’s vineyards. The Jacob’s Creek Classic Chardonnay is well-rounded with attractive lemon, ripe peach, melon and toasted oak flavors with a creamy textural finish. or The Jacob’s Creek Classic Merlot which is velvety and spicy on the palate with fresh fruit aromas of red currant, black cherry, and fresh mulberry with rich vanilla oak.
