It serves refined, contemporary cooking in a sophisticated yet relaxed setting, from leisurely lunches to elegant dinners, and a generous breakfast buffet for guests and visitors. It's a special-occasion spot, popular for celebrations and long lunches, and it has hosted the Le Petit Chef dinner experience. Booking ahead is recommended.
"Le Petite Chef has finally arrived in Kenya!!!!I experienced it at Hemingways and from the moment I arrived, it felt so personal. I was running a little late and everyone was just about to be seated but one of the waitresses immediately came over, explained everything to me and made me feel completely comfortable. I was even welcomed by my name which made the whole evening feel so thoughtful and special. The projection and storytelling were immaculate. Every scene was so well done and the attention to detail made the whole dinner feel magical. It was immersive, creative and unlike anything else I have experienced in Kenya before. I had also been hesitant to try lobster but this was my first time ever having it and now I understand why everyone loves it. It was so flavorful, perfectly cooked and one of the best parts of the night. What stood out most was how intentional the whole experience felt. It did not feel like just another dinner. It felt personal, exciting and so carefully put together. Special mention to the waiter Gibson for the great service that stood out! Le Petite Chef may be new to Kenya, but it already feels like one of those experiences everyone needs to try at least once. I would 100% recommend this restaurant"
"Hemingways is one of my favorite places in Kenya. I always love coming here. the atmosphere, service, and overall experience are amazing."
"A stunning setting whilst eating lunch. Make sure to save up a bit and come to Hemingways Nairobi Restaurant for an elegant Lunch or Dinner. Their buffet breakfast was also very nice. Their sizzling chocolate brownie (shown in the photos) is a must have."
