Poivre Noir

I’ve had disappointing experiences here in the past, but today completely changed my perspective. The manager made a clear effort to ensure everything met the expected standard, and the service was genuinely excellent. As someone who loves burgers and even goes on burger tours across the U.S., I can confidently say this was the best burger I’ve had in Rwanda. I rarely compliment restaurants in Kigali because I’m often let down, but today was truly exceptional. The quality went far beyond what I’ve come to expect locally it felt on par with what you’d find in the U.S. I originally came back to give them another try because of the tiramisu, and I’m glad I did it was just as impressive as I remembered.

We eat because are hungry, and that food helps to nourish us. There is another level that food can take apart from satisfying hunger and nourishment. this level is where you taste flavour explosion in your mouth that lingers. I had the burger, yes the burger and it was worth every bite. Cooked at perfect med-rare, the burger was moist and flavourful. Ambience of the restuarant is divine by the way. definitely recommended!

My favourite restaurant in Kigali! Great food and regularly changing menu, perfect service and all of this in a beautiful garden setting!

Went there for dinner and the atmosphere was spectacular 🥰 (quite and calm ☺️)

Best steak in town!

Great food, friendly staff

I enjoyed my 40th Birthday dinner here and it did not disappoint! With fair prices and wonderfully attentive service complementing dishes that you can tell the chef put much care and flavor-artistry into, we would HIGHLY recommend Poivre Noir! We left very happy and satisfied. The atmosphere was also excellent. Murakoze cyane 🙏🏽

There's a very friendly, kind, and smiling young waitress, but the prices are far too high for Rwanda, and it makes you wonder if the employees are underpaid. A couple spends what one employee earns in a month.
