Starting the Jamaican series today is the Pelican Grill that is located right on the Hip Strip of Montego Bay, overlooking the sea. It’s a family owned restaurant that’s been in business since 1964, serving up authentic Jamaican food. We came here for dinner on a Saturday night and didn’t find it too packed, which is nice. The decor feels very classic diner like, nice cosy booths with lots of room for big or small groups.

Talking about a nice culinary gem in Nanyuki today. The Nook actually used to be in Nairobi and then they moved to Nanyuki to a bigger space that fits their aesthetic quite perfectly I feel. Located on Haile Sellasie Drive, the Nook has a very ranch style aesthetic. Lots of grass, lots of wood features, and lots of outdoor seating available. They have a beautiful succulent garden built into some tables that made me wanna have a little succulent garden built into my coffee table too.

Another day, another great gem discovered in Tigoni. Tunahama Tigoni ama? It seems to be the new Naivasha and I’m not mad at it😊 Heard about Nifty many months ago from my cousin and I always wanted to go but just never had the time until December of last year. I finally made my way down there with a dear friend for one of our many food dates😋 The drive to Tigoni makes me very happy, I think being surrounded by fresh air and lush greenery is what we are severely lacking here in the city so this little escape is worth it every single time.

Last December saw the great migration of Nairobians into Tigoni to experience the newest restaurant in that area - Como. Como made a splash in the food scene late last year and people were even more excited to find out that it is a restaurant by popular fine dining chef, Steph the Chef. If you’ve had her food when she was still doing deliveries only then you know she will give you quite an experience at her very chic eatery in beautiful Tigoni.

New York is a foodie’s haven and I love trying out so many new restaurants whenever I’m there. During my last visit I went to a couple and this was the first one I documented. I went to dinner here with my cousin who lives in Brooklyn and swears by this place so I had to try it. Bricolage is a modern Vietnamese restaurant that has a casual vibe to it.

Sea Wolf in Brooklyn came highly recommended by some friends and reviews online seemed mostly positive so I was excited to try some fish in the big apple finally. We ordered a few different things to try - the spicy shrimp basket, fish and chips, San Diego style fish tacos, grilled chicken salad and a classic burger. The only thing I enjoyed here was the spicy shrimp… The fish in the fish & chips was covered in a cake level of batter, I couldn’t eat past one bite.
