oyal Dine - May 2019 InterContinental Nairobi 50 years anniversary
The InterContinental has now been a prominent landmark in Nairobi for 50 years. The hotel is renowned for its hospitality, service and amazing facilities. Now we can also claim a half a century existence as a continued standard of excellence. We also boast a wide range of traditional and contemporary cuisines served in its four restaurants: Bhandini an award winning Indian restaurant, the Terrace; a dine by the pool restaurant, the Plantation a coffee shop and informal patisserie and one ambient bar Makuti. Join us in celebrating our 50 year Anniversary on the 21st of May. We shall serve food and beverage teasers every Tuesday, to give you a taste of the best we’ve had to offer over the years.
International Labour Day
We would not have made it this far without our numerous and dedicated work force. The InterContinental Nairobi is privileged to celebrate Workers’ Day on the 1st of May. International Labour Day acknowledges and commemorates labourers and the working class all over the world. To them we say- “We could not have done it without you.” “A mind always employed is always happy. This is the true secret, the grand recipe, for felicity.” - Thomas Jefferson
#MothersAreGolden
The Terrace will be hosting a Mother’s day Brunch on Sunday 12th of May. Bring your mother or the motherly figures in your life and treat them to an amazing array of scrumptious dishes. “A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take.”- Cardinal Meymillod
You can look forward to contemporary combinations and classic dishes with a special twist each time you dine at the Terrace this May. The buffet breakfast, lunch or dinner is only Kshs. 3,250 per person. “Love grows more tremendously full, swift, and poignant, as the years multiply.” - Zene Grey
THE TERRACE RESTAURANT
The wines of the month feature Israel’s finest Zinfandel Rose, Gamla Riesling, Sion and Shiraz. The Gamla White Riesling is a medium bodied Riesling that has refreshing fruit notes intermingled with characters of fresh flowers and pine forest. It is the perfect wine to have on Lamu Tamu night every Thursday as it pairs well with coconut curry chicken and grilled spiced fish. “Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle.” Paulo Coelho, Brida

Among them the cream caramel with berry compote; a custard dessert with a layer of clear caramel sauce topped with whole or pieces of berries in sugar syrup, melt in your mouth Tiramisu slices and the moistest Apple pie that pastry can offer.
