Located in the heart of Nanyuki, this charming town in Kenya's Laikipia County offers a diverse range of dining options to suit every taste and budget.
One of the top recommendations is Le Rustique, a restaurant situated right next to the Buruget River. This eco-friendly eatery is constructed into a giant fig tree, offering a unique and rustic back-to-nature experience.
The restaurant's menu is largely Italian, with pizzas from its classic wood-fired oven being a highlight. The space is ideal for families, with children able to spot colobus monkeys and hyrax scurrying through the trees.
Another popular spot is Little Barney's, which has two locations in Nanyuki. The menu offers Mediterranean cuisine and is more affordable than expected, making it a great option for those looking for a laid-back yet upscale dining experience.
For a more scenic dining experience, head to Timau, about an hour's drive from Nanyuki. This rustic eatery offers a peaceful river view and a designated play area for children.
Whether you're in the mood for Italian, Mediterranean, or simply a delicious meal with a view, Nanyuki has something for everyone.
