Poivre Noir

The best restaurant in Kigali! Excellent value for money, consistently delicious food, and impeccable service. After three years of coming and going, I've never been disappointed. Highly recommend!

We’ve LOVED this place for years but our last few visits the food quality has really declined. The flavor is no longer as robust as it once was. The presentation is still exceptional but the thoughtfulness is gone. The carpaccio was cut so thickly it was like tartare. 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 they once had.

The best curiflowers soup I have had in this year. It’s about up market but absolutely worthy every penny you spend there. Very convenient for dinner dates for its quite and stand alone. Even the music selection was just perfect. Can’t say enough about Poivre Noir. It’s a quite and small place so you might need to make reservations before for you will find it full.

The food is not great. The place does not look great. The prices are not moderate. They give you only a byte of cabbage and avocado cream, like a joke. The vegan burger was not tasty enough. There are way nicer restaurants with a lot better food, with much better prices, like The Hut for example. I do not recommend this place.

Our group of 30 had an incredible experience with Poivre Noire in Kigali! They provided a delicious vegan lunch that truly exceeded our expectations. From the start, their communication was fantastic—prompt, clear, and professional. It was clear they understood exactly what vegan meant, which gave us great confidence in their expertise. The food was not only flavorful but also beautifully presented, showcasing their creativity and attention to detail. The entire process was smooth and efficient, with everything perfectly organized for a group of our size. Our group was thoroughly impressed, and many of us are already looking forward to dining at Poivre Noire again. If you're in Kigali and looking for excellent vegan options, this is the place to go! Highly recommended!

Decadent and delicious! One of my favorite restaurants in Kigali. I have eaten here and ordered delivery a few times. The burger picture was at home. I even enjoyed their jerk chicken. Juicy and flavorful, and reminded me of home :)

Great food. Beautiful setting. It's a lovely spot for a special night out. Service is good. Wise to make a reservation. Even on a random week night, they can fill up. Had the pulled rabbit ravioli and the duck breast. Both are delicious. A few bone flecks in the rabbit ravioli, so be aware.

This is easily one of my favorite restaurants in town. Persistently good quality food 🍽 and always great and attentive service. I came here first time in May 2022, and it still holds as one of the best and most professionally run restaurants in Kigali! 🎖🏆🏅
