Crowne Plaza’s Sikia Restaurant

The Central Business District of Nairobi is a beehive of activities and could be treacherous, wiping away all hope to have some fine dining in a quiet setting away from the city’s hustle and bustle. Just a few miles from the central business district, lies a quieter side of Nairobi city, the posh suburbs of UpperHill. Here you’ll find a gem of an establishment, the Crowne Plaza Hotel. Its fine-dining restaurant, known as Sikia, is considered to please the unique gastronomic fantasies of one’s palette and is and ranked as one of Nairobi’s top restaurants.

The atmosphere here by default blends in with the best spot for a quiet but charming date- lunch or dinner – in Nairobi. The restaurant has an unrivalled aura of elegance from its interior décor – a floor-to-ceiling glass wall – crowned by a homely reddish-brown carpet and thought-provoking paintings on the wall.

 Panari Hotel

Off the city’s bustle and onto Mombasa road is the luxurious Panari Hotel known for its inviting Valentine offers. Dinner – a three-course meal – and a bottle of exquisite wine is the way to start your Valentine weekend and indulge in ice skating, spa treatment and enjoy a picnic lunch at the nearby Nairobi National Park for wild lovers.
