Top choice Italian in Kigali
Run by an Italian chef, this upmarket venue wouldn’t be out of place in Milano, and gets top marks for its flawlessly prepared Italian specialties, including toothsome pasta dishes, risotto, grills, gourmet sandwiches and divine desserts (hmm, the dark chocolate mousse). It’s also known for its great lunch buffet, which features a tempting selection of salads and desserts.
Top choice International in Kigali
A highlight of the Kigali restaurant scene, Heaven has a relaxed, open-air deck bistro with a wide-ranging menu drawing from a variety of international influences. It’s hugely popular with expats and travelers, so look elsewhere for local atmosphere, but do come here for an excellent and innovative menu that combines local flavors with international dishes.
Top choice French
This attractive hacienda is set on a ridge where you can soak up the sparkling lights of Kigali by night or get a bird’s-eye appreciation of the city during the day. It boasts a broad menu of French favorites’ as well as bounteous wood-fired pizzas and succulent pastas. For something different, try one of the delicious, spice-rich Congolese dishes.
International in Kigali
Sassy Pili-Pili ticks all the right boxes: a vast open-air terrace with superb views, a nifty pool, an enticing ethnic chic two-storey interior and a congenial atmosphere. It’s a popular bar and restaurant, known for its knockout burgers, grills, pizzas, salads and vast choice of drinks; it heats up to club temperature on weekend nights when DJs spin electronica and other beats.
Top choice Italian in Kigali
Many locals and expats rave about this Italian kitchen, and we share their unbridled enthusiasm. The food here (and the trattoria-inspired decor, with a lovely open-air terrace) is clearly above average for Rwanda, with an assortment of flavorsome Italian dishes, including over 100 different pizzas! Something sweet to finish? Try the tiramisu.
