Kitchen and bar

Local flavours, and spices from around the world

We believe great food is a non-negotiable part of an enjoyable resort experience. That means generous flavour, consistent quality and enough variety for every guest to find something they genuinely enjoy.

Our kitchen serves a freshly prepared à la carte menu of local and international dishes, with our chef bringing together Burundian flavours, global influences and fresh, homemade ingredients. Guests can also choose half-board or full-board options for a more complete dining experience throughout their stay.

We cater for vegetarian guests, food allergies and other dietary requirements. Please let us know in advance.

Some evenings have a character of their own, including our signature Saturday Mongolian Dinner. From midday until late, the bar serves refreshing drinks, classic favourites and contemporary cocktails, best enjoyed on the terrace as the sun sets behind the mountains of Congo.

In-room dining

Dinner served where you are staying

Room service is available to resident guests for RF 14,000, for anyone who would rather eat in the privacy of their own villa, bungalow or tent.

Some of our villas have their own dining pavilion or terrace above the water, so a table can be laid where you are staying rather than in the restaurant. Ask at reception and we will arrange it.
