Since we’re on that fine dining tip, lemme end this review session with one more fine dining restaurant🙃

📍Botanica - One Africa Place, Westlands

For those who don’t know, Botanica took over from Honey & dough which we can all agree was really disappointing. #nairobieats

They rebranded and I feel like they’re going for a more gastro/fine dining route & it’s working for them from the experience we had.

They have quite a vibrant menu, I had the chicken curry bao buns as a starter while my lovely date @DushyKuria had the duck breast carpaccio

For mains I had the fish & chips, she had the Nasi Goreng & for dessert, they made her a special not for carrot cake plate for her birthday while I had the Latte sundae:) #nairobieats

Out of all these - I loved the steamed buns so much! That chicken curry was spiced perfectly and the whole bun wasn’t too dry because some places really get bao buns wrong👌🏾 The fish & chips was good too, the batter thankfully not too thick. #nairobieats

The latte sundae is coffee flavoured and has bits of chocolate cake in it, coffee ice cream and some kind of mousse… so good😋 #nairobieats

The prices are a tad steep - mains range from 1800-3500, starters are all 1000+, desserts range from 700-900. The service was really great, they did change up the decor just a bit but it still looks very much like honey & dough (I love the decor😍) -just better food for sure👌🏾

They did up our table for @DushyKuria’s birthday so well people thought there was a proposal coming😅 She really enjoyed the cocktails and her bday dessert below:) #nairobieats

Overall rating:

Food: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
