Why Kigali, Rwanda, Should Be More Than a Layover Before Your Gorilla Safari

"The appeal at Belgian-French eatery Poivre Noir is as much the lush garden dining terrace as it is the expertly grilled, locally sourced bistro cuisine."

I loved the cozy and intimate ambiance of this place. The food was good, but we had an issue with dessert not coming as described on the menu since some ingredients were missing. It would have been nice to be informed beforehand so we could decide whether to go ahead with the order. Otherwise, it was a lovely experience!

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.

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 :)

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.

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.

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.

Good restaurant but their qr code is ennoying, just an excuse to avoid a real nice menu. Just do take away menu if you want to avoid any risk. Otherwise food and service was good.

Very nice place / food is great and nicely presented / very tasty / in average more expensive then other restaurants in Kigali, but the food is well worth it. Service is very good. I highly recommend this place
