Mombasa Shopping

Labeka The place for African curios on Moi Ave with a good selection of items from which to choose, remember to haggle. You may possibly get a better quality item here than on the streets.

Mckinnon Market Digo Road is the centre of this sprawling market named after a former British administrator. The market sells all sorts including fruit and veg, jewelery, arts and crafts, baskets and brightly coloured cloth known as Kikoi and Kangas, which are associated with East Africa.

Moi and Kenyatta Aves Most of the formal city type shops are located on these rather uninspiring streets. Remember that you are going to stand out as a tourist and you may be hassled. There is a lot of poverty here so don't dress up wearing big jewelry to tempt the would be thief.

Recoda On Nyeri St in the old town and serves good wholesome African food and some Indian curries. Only open in the evenings and perfect for the budget traveler. Decor is basic and you should meet the locals here.

Blue Room Restaurant Haile Salasse Rd, A cafe more than a restaurant, but very friendly with tasty fare on the menu, but not too imaginative. Popular with the locals and well established.

Le Bistro On the main drag of Moi Ave with an extensive menu from pizza to fresh fish and the chef here has used a bit of imagination to beef up ordinary dishes. Decor is shabby/chique, but the food is worth it. Sit on one of the outside tables and people watch African style.

Capri Restaurant Nkrumah Rd is where you will find this sophisticated Italian restaurant. Well known for it's fabulous food especially the seafood, but you might have to wait for service, so its great for a romantic liaison.
