The Nairobi Supper Club Experience
Nairobi’s culinary landscape has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years. Following the challenges of the pandemic, the city’s vibrant dining scene has not just recovered, but is thriving with a renewed sense of creativity and adventure. New restaurants and innovative cuisines are popping up across the city. From high-end fine dining establishments to casual pop-up eateries and even “ghost kitchens.” This post-COVID revival is a testament to the resilience and dynamism of Nairobi’s food lovers and chefs, who are constantly seeking out and creating unique gastronomic experiences. At the heart of this movement, bringing together a love for exceptional food and community, is the Nairobi Supper Club.
The Nairobi Supper Club has become a highly sought-after event for food lovers and social connoisseurs. Its reputation for curated menus, breathtaking ambiance, outstanding service, and a sense of community has made it a standout feature of Nairobi’s culinary scene. Each month, a guest chef takes over the Lake House kitchen for two days and for only 50 lucky guests. Each event promising a completely different, globally inspired theme at the stunning and serene location in Tigoni.
Taste of Peru
I recently had the pleasure of attending a Nairobi Supper Club event that was nothing short of a culinary revelation. Set against the picturesque backdrop of the Tigoni Lake, the afternoon’s theme was Peruvian-inspired. A vibrant and flavor-packed cuisine that is gaining global recognition. The menu, meticulously crafted by Peru-born chef Carlos Wong (Executive Chef at Ezo), was a five-course journey through the country’s rich culinary heritage. My expectations were high!
The experience began with welcome canapés and cocktails (a classic Dufftown Sour and the interestingly named “Tigoni Chronicles”), setting a convivial tone as guests mingled and took in the beautiful surroundings. Vegetarians and guests with dietary restrictions were served first, as the chef came out to introduce the menu.
The first course, a delicate Ceviche Chiclayano, was a masterclass in balance, with fresh fish cured in a zesty tiger’s milk. A refreshing and tantalizing start! The Humita, a traditional corn cake, was a comforting and savory interlude, followed by the main courses, which included a tender duck (Apatadito De Pato) and a perfectly cooked steamed fish stew (Sudado de Pescado). And ending with a traditional Latin American Tres Leches (milk cake). Each dish was thoughtfully presented, and the flavors were bold, authentic, and memorable. What truly elevated the experience, however, was the team’s attention to detail for each guest. The table setting, with its stunning views and intimate arrangements, created a relaxed and personal atmosphere, allowing for a genuine connection with both the food and fellow diners.
The Singleton Partnership for Season 5
To kick of the fifth season at the Lake House, a collaboration with Diageo & The Singleton aims to marry the artistry of the chefs and mixologists with the refined character of The Singleton’s whisky expressions. The brand’s commitment to “the intersection of flavour and craft” aligns perfectly with the supper club’s philosophy of creating holistic sensory journeys. Chef Milan of Hero fame kicks off season 5 in October with a Asian inspired tasting menu. Paired ofcourse with Hero’s world class cocktails – the bar recently placed #69 in the World’s 50 Best Bars List and won the award for the Best Bar in Africa.
Carlos Wong (Ezo)
Kenyan chef Dennis Ang’ani of Emabark 12 in Karen returns to the Lake House in November with a Tea & Wine Pairing menu using solely seasonal African ingredients.
The Nairobi Supper Club is more than just a meal; it’s a memorable experience where Nairobi’s top chefs take over a breathtaking out of town setting, coupled with impeccable service & hospitality. Needless to say, seats are highly in demand and even at (approx) $120 a head, get booked up very quickly!
