Last night we experienced one of Nairobis most interesting and unique dining experiences (despite the fact that it was a TAD touristy). We went because Laurens office took her out to dinner so we decided to sit at a near by table and try it out too. The place? Aptly named "Carnivore". A restaurant known for for roasting not just chicken, goat, duck, turkey, beef, and other regular animals - but they also include "exotic" meat on the menu as well, including (the night we were there) crocodile (seen in this photo), gazelle, ostrich (all pretty good) and camel (kind of like chewing on leather). It was fun. You pay one price and all night the "carvers" rotate throughout the restaruant with freshly roasted meat skewered on swords or kebab holder thingys and offer you what they are carrying. Plus you get some side dishes and dessert. It was a fun experience. As a generally light meat eater - I was pretty impressed with myself and the fact that I ate SOOOO much. Although I managed to save room for 2 desserts. What?!? I wanted to get the full value for my shillings!!
Carnivore! You lucky lucky girl. Now that we have a BBQ, we can host our OWN all-you-can-eat exotic meatfest when you return to Canada. Think you can sneak some camel back for us? Can't wait to pull those raccoon steaks out of the freezer...
They actually have a place just like that in Niagara Falls??? The stranger part...I turned it down in favour of a Thai restaurant...?!
