Le Grenier a’ Pain.

It has been a minute. In my defense, I really did not do much this month apart from movies. Can we take a moment and talk about how emotionally draining marvel was? First it was Avengers: Infinity war then Deadpool 2. I am in that place where I really can’t handle any other Marvel movie for some time. Both films were terrific by the way, for anyone who is yet to watch. Though this time around someone decided to chop onions in the theater while Deadpool 2 was on. I also loved Disconnect, a Kenyan film, and found myself a new crush (RichardJ). If you did not get to watch this, you missed out.

(Now that we are fully caught up on what I was up to this month, let’s get straight into the restaurant review, shall we?)

First my apologies, I did not get to take photos of the place but you can take my word for it, Le Grenier a’ Pain has an amazing ambiance. The French restaurant is found on 9 Riverside Dr. serves purely French pastries, what they are known best for. I had the cake slice of the day, raspberry cake and it was heavenly. Their brownies are tasty too. You could taste the flavors. The restaurant is chilled, service was good and fast. I loved the fact that they are a paperless restaurant, they use tablets to take your order and can actually tell you your bill on ordering. Their coffee is fairly priced, same price as most coffee restaurants in town. Depending on what you have, I would say they are affordable. It is the kinda restaurant that you will have a conversation without so much noise or buzz around you. It also looks like a really chill place to get work done.  It’s definitely a place worth trying out.  

   ( scratch what I said about not being ready for another Marvel movie, I am ready for Antman and the Wasp)

Kesh Kesh Roastery & Café.

Oooh damn, first my apologies. I have meant to write for over a month. You’d think blogging would be easy L, well I am here to say no it ain’t. Had you asked me when I was starting out, I was sure posting twice a month would be a walk in the park, this is not an easy park to walk in lol L.

So what gem am I about to share with you guys today? I don’t think Kesh Kesh is new to most people, but for those who have not heard of it, it’s on Arwings Kodhek Road just opposite the Yaya stage. The building is called Timau plaza. Kesh Kesh is an Eritrean restaurant. There are many things I loved about Kesh Kesh. Their food is one, I have been there twice, and they impress me. My friends had the beef wrap, and chicken wrap I had the grilled fillet (of course mine was fishJ). The quantities are honestly satisfying and affordable (which is relative of course). The wraps go for sh.600 burgers are sh.700, the fillet was sh.1000, pizza range from sh.800- sh.1200 (I have a really good memory when it comes to food lol) I bet you can catch the drift about the cost.

The service is friendly and warm; they don’t hover around you or interrupt you. The manager made a point of saying hi to everyone in the restaurant. The ambiance is relaxing; a room with potted plants has a sense of life in it. You can spend a lot of time there without realizing. I found it to be a nice spot to get work done or just chill while reading a book (talking of books I am looking for recommendations, please comment with a book that left a mark in your life. I will appreciateJ). I would recommend everyone to try Kesh Kesh. You will not regret.

I will try to be more consistent. Thanks for reading J
