The best restaurants Burundi

From all the seaside bathing establishments, Saga Beach led by Bosco (which also manages Saga Nyanza-Lac) is one of the largest and most festive, and we eat very well. Several spaces are designed for drinking or eating, near the bar under the barza (Hornbills), a little further on a metal terrace in the form of a boat planted on the lake (Okapi) or under straw roofs here and there. On weekends, the place is very lively and des offer demonstrations on Sunday. They are sometimes joined by ikembe players. Possible water sports (surfing and navigation).

In this beautiful colonial building that has seen generations of Burundians, Marc and Bernadette take Care of One of the Best Tables in Bujumbura, with some renowned specialities, such as fish carpaccio, for example. The places are ventilated and the tables spaced under circular barza, the service is applied and the presentation of the dishes carefully. A recommended address.

Held by Déo Bukera (who also runs "La Citronella"), this restaurant has a beautiful view over Bujumbura that it overlooks from the Vugizo Hill. The kitchen is European, Mediterranean and gastronomic, with a nice meat and fish card cooked in sauce or grilled, and the service is cared for. Even if you don't eat, you can settle at the counter at the counter in front of the lake, to admire the panorama. Once a month (usually on the last Friday of the month) a group comes in live. A catering service is also proposed.

This is a place we love. The Italian couple, who also holds the very good butchery Italbu, opened this restaurant in 2013. Given the quality of products and service, it is already seen in Bujumbura as a simple but good address. Still installed on the Tanzania boulevard during the drafting of the guide, he should nevertheless have invested his new, more central address when publishing.

For the lack of Cheese (and others), this barking now offers the possibility to eat on site or buy emporter sandwiches. In addition to the quality of the products, we love to be explained the provenance and characteristics of each cheese.

The hotel restaurant is accessible to everyone and is pleasant. You can either choose to eat or drink a drink by the pool, or decide to take a little height and then settle on the terrace with views of the hills.

Located in front of the market, near the deposit of Brarudi and Hotel Phoenicia, this cabaret is commonly called "ku mpene" because it prepares good goat skewers (impene).

On the edge of the asphalt road, this hotel offers catering, pastry and bar. For those to whom sweet pasta is somewhat lacking in Burundi…

The Calvados is located after the grocery Store Fido Dido in the amount Rwagasore, on the left in Avenue d'October. The frame is very pleasant, with a small garden at the back of the parcel. The kitchen is classic, with a good choice of starters and salads, dishes in sauce and barbecue, and various desserts. The location is also ideal for a breakfast or a quiet meal. On the weekend, the dining room turns into dancing, pretty experienced, especially in the summer.

Next to the Hotel Phoenicia, in the city centre, this establishment depends on the Training and professional development centre (CFPP), a business centre that organizes meetings and seminars. The service is impeccable and efficient. The kitchen is honourable and generous portions.

A hundred metres from the Belvedere Hotel, towards the cathedral, this property carries its name well (kaze means "welcome"): The reception is pleasant.

A restaurant frequented by average Burundians on the road to the cathedral. Kitchen and honest welcome.

In the old market square, this bistro offers the same kind of atmosphere and products as neighbouring Zanzibar. For fans of lively discussions and impromptu encounters (sometimes a bit éméchées).

We also talk about "at Égide" to designate this institution that combines the activities of a restaurant and those of a cabaret. The location is fairly frequent at the arrival hours for departures and arrivals of minibuses, as it is right next door on the Rutana-Bujumbura route.

This small restaurant at the entrance to Rutana offers a range of affordable dishes (mainly vegetables and starches). His clientele is modest and his kitchen also. For those who like to feed themselves on human relations.

The boss is a Congolese who offers the whole range of rustic dishes in the neighbouring DRC. Same kind of benefits and prices as at Phocas or Mama Solo.

Fabrice holds this skewers cabaret right next to the Shalom Lodge, down from the province to the road to Gitega. A large sheltered hall welcomes the world, especially in the evening.

Just after Black and White, on the pavement of Uvira, a similar establishment, with the same type of card and music.

At about 2 p. m. in Bujumbura, and only a few kilometres from the Saga Nyanza Residence Hotel, the beach where Bosco settled after having had to leave Resha where he managed Castel Maus is very long and seems to wait for bathers. Wrought iron gazebos allow you to soak up the sun all along the water. The restaurant "Le Bel Air" is of good quality, like the service, but you can also enjoy the beach without eating it, just drinking something in the lake.
