How to attend
No festival ticket exists: browse participating restaurants and their set menus on eatout.co.ke, then reserve directly with each venue at the fixed festival price. Booking ahead is essential as popular tables sell out fast, and ride-hailing partner offers often add discounts during the week. Entirely open to the public.

Insider tip
Use the week to book the splurge rooms - Nairobi's top hotel restaurants and fine-dining names offer their biggest set-menu discounts of the year, so aim high rather than safe.
