All dishes were magnificent as always ! Love the new spot and the staff were very efficient and friendly.
Very flavorful food
Very memorable food and dining experience
Had a delicious meal, chicken with risotto. Honestly, not the biggest portion, but delicious, finger-licking good. It was very quiet, not many customers, but definitely recommended.
As first-time visitors to Kigali from North America, this restaurant was one of the highlights of our trip. It came highly recommended by locals, and it absolutely lived up to the praise. We started with the salmon pancakes and mushroom crumble, both of which were outstanding. For mains, our group enjoyed the beetroot dish, tenderloin, risotto, and the house-made beef ragu pasta. Every plate showcased incredible attention to detail, high-quality ingredients, and complex, well-balanced flavors. The biggest surprise of the evening was the beetroot dish. It was creative, beautifully executed, and easily one of the most memorable vegetable dishes we've had. Across the menu, you could tell the vegetables were exceptionally fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The setting was equally impressive—a beautiful garden tucked away in the back, with soft lighting, great music, and a relaxed atmosphere that made for a perfect evening. The service was attentive, warm, and professional throughout. This is the kind of restaurant that would stand out in any major North American city, yet it feels uniquely connected to Kigali and its local ingredients. A truly memorable dining experience, and one we would enthusiastically recommend to anyone visiting the city.
