2: CHOOSE KIGALI

The beauty of the art adorning Choose Kigali’s walls is perfectly complementing by the exquisite beauty of the meals served in its restaurant. Head Chef Billy McCormick has over 28 years creating fine dining experiences across the US.  Now he’s bringing all his wisdom, passion, and experience to Kigali.

Every dinner at Choose Kigali starts with welcome drinks and a private tour of the gallery, followed by a seven-course menu of vibrant, exciting dishes, and finishes with an after-dinner digestif around the garden bonfire.

Seating is limited to keep things intimate and relaxed, and you must book in advance. For groups of up to six guests, there’s even a private dining area if you’re looking for a bit more seclusion.
