Food scene
Le Rustique Hotel
Mount Kenya RoadDelicious food, nice setting, in town.
We often stop here for lunch on our way to or from Nanyuki - the restaurant is set in a huge fig tree with the trout 'pools' at the bottom - there is a little playground. The food menu is limited and service not that fast, but if you're not in a hurry it's a great place to stop.
