Guidebook for Kigali
Food Scene
Located at the end of our street, so within walking distance. A breezy garden and a very relaxed place to enjoy your coffee, juice or lunch. Popular amongst expats, to either chat or work.

Trattoria Restaurant and Bar
Great place for your (iced) coffee, because the coffee tastes amazing but even more because of the amazing view! Also, it is attached to a good bookstore, a bit pricey but they have a very elaborate section on history/culture/human interest.

Not the best place to buy your groceries, but their bakery - called Brood (Dutch for 'bread') - is really good and can definitely recommend their croissants!

They have a great lunch buffet, value for money and a nice way of getting to know the Rwandan kitchen! And we love the garden.

Great place, again because of great view on the city: it is situated on a rooftop. But also a perfect place to work, ample space, power outlets and reliable WiFi.

Question Coffee Bar
26 KG 674 StArguably the best coffee in town - and they offer coffee tours!
This lovely place sells pastry and bread that come out of their women's bakery and serve Question Coffee. A social enterprise that's worth visiting! Also, their café is worth visiting for some interior design ideas!

Lake Ruhondo
Beautiful views, friendly local people, a real touch of rural Rwanda!
Simply beautiful! If you enter from the east side it is just a 45 minute drive from Kigali. We know a lovely place on the lake to enjoy a fresh grilled tilapia fillet.
