carnivore

The Carnivore aptly described as ‘Africa’s Greatest Eating Experience’ is a meat specialty restaurant.  The food, service and atmosphere are strikingly different from anything ever seen in Kenya. Twice voted amongst the world’s 50 best restaurants by an expert panel in ‘Restaurant’ magazine.

The Carnivore opened its doors in September 1980 to instant success. The food, service and atmosphere are strikingly different from anything ever seen in Kenya. The Carnivore is a meat specialty restaurant and it is justifiably referred to as 'Africa's Greatest Eating Experience'.

Architect Information and Interior Design
The atmosphere of The Carnivore combines the rustic feel of a rural environment with the feeling of a medieval banqueting hall. This is accomplished by the using rough-hewn beams and local woods.
Ambience
First time visitors are enthralled by the spectacle of the roasting pit, the service and distinctive flavours of food. The Carnivore does not conform to the familiar restaurant traditions of passing out menus and waiting for people to order.  Diners simply take their seats on the Zebra striped chairs and the movable feast begins.

Adjoining the main restaurant is the ‘Simba Saloon’ - a vibrant informal restaurant that incorporates a children’s playground and a lively nightclub.
