This very intimate, quaint French bistro opened the year before Kenya's independence. After more than 40 years, it's still one of the city's better restaurants. The food and atmosphere are both excellent. Go for the chef's recommendation or try the superb lobster thermidor. They provide free pickups from any city center hotel. Monday-Friday for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Saturday for dinner only. Reservations recommended. You'll need to dress up. $$$. Most major credit cards. Cianda House, Koinange Street, Nairobi. Phone 224-945.
