Fresh Ingredients and Flexible Hospitality

Taste our own garden

We are proud to serve only the best. We bake our own bread and bring most supplies from Kampala to ensure quality. Our own vegetable garden and fruit trees, including citrus, mango, pawpaw, jackfruit, passion fruit and avocado, provide fresh ingredients whenever possible. Because of limited storage we offer a fixed menu rather than à la carte, and we kindly ask you to inform us in advance of any dietary requirements. Meal times are flexible and adapted to your schedule, nothing too early and nothing too late.
