oyal Dine-March 2019 March winds sweep and sing
The year is no longer new, and we could all use a little motivation to keep going. Whether it’s work projects or personal endeavors, sometimes a little extra push of encouragement is all we need. If you’re feeling a little drained, head over to the InterContinental Nairobi for a relaxing and luxuriating spa treatment, delicious comfort food or a wide selection of wine and world class cocktails.
“March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life’s path.” -- Khalil Gibran InterContinental NAIROBI
Attention meat lovers! The 3rd of March is cold cut day and during our Sunday brunch, the Terrace will stack up on deli standard selections of yummy chilled slices of meat. Pop them in a sandwich or drizzle them with oil and combine them with a few slices of choice cheeses. “Whatever way you like them, cold cuts Day is all about celebrating all the tasty meats that are somehow even tastier when served up in slices.”- Days of the Year

Bhandini is a nice subtle nook for business meetings and bold steps. Discuss and strategize over a two or three course menu and our wines of the month.
BHANDINI
Let our wine list help lighten the mood. The Leleshwa Sauvignon Blanc has a crisp, off-dry palate with hints of passion fruit and grapefruit. It pairs well with seafood, chicken or pasta dishes. Or The Leleshwa Rosé which has a fruity flavor that toasts the endless summer of the tropics, giving no hint of cool and gentle Kenyan months. Pair it with white meats for a pleasurable taste and gentle twist. “The power lunch is no longer just for men. We all deserve a seat at the table” - Whitney Wolfe Herd 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 Sunday). To make a reservation: 020 32 00 322

PLANTATION
For more complex palettes, try the Plantation’s lamb chops with apple mint sauce for a winning savory yet sweet combination. As a salute to decadence, we will also observe Black Forest Day on the 25th of March. Think of all the chocolate, whipped cream and cherries layered to perfection just for you! “I’m not saying I don’t enjoy the days that I’m not eating chocolate cake. But I do particularly like those days when I am eating chocolate cake.”-Trisha Yearwood In solidarity with the InterContinental Paris Le Grand; a historical landmark in the City of Lights; the Plantation will observe Eiffel Tower Day on the 31st of March.
