Poivre Noir — Restaurant in Kimihurura

Excellent service! Staff is multi-lingual and super attentive. The setting is intimate and cozy, open-air, beautiful views of course (this is Kigali :-) If you want to know what heaven tastes like, order the mushroom crumble with truffle oil!

Our group of 30 had an incredible experience with Poivre Noire in Kigali! They provided a delicious vegan lunch that truly exceeded our expectations.

The initial bite they gave to every customer used to be a delicious soup and grilled bread. Now it’s a doughy fried corn fritter. The service is still exceptional but I am hoping they can improve their kitchen once again to reach the standard...
