The 2024 edition of Kampala Restaurant Week, a signature showcase of restaurants and the wide array of dining options Kampala has to offer has been officially launched.
An initiative of The Pearl Guide, the week will run between July 4th to July 14th with a total of thirty of Kampala’s top restaurants participating. As is customary, the restaurants have crafted special creative menus that will be available for a 10-day duration with meals ranging between Shs20,000 to Shs45,000.
“We are pleased to announce the return of this signature dining experience following a forced hiatus resulting from the pandemic. We have worked closely with the participating restaurants ensuring food lovers will have delicious menu options ranging from casual to signature dining. We are also pleased to feature a wide variety of top restaurants for food lovers to choose from. This edition of Kampala Restaurant Week returns as Kampala now boasts of a growing and evolving restaurant scene,” said Isaac Langoli from The Pearl Guide.
With sponsorship from Uganda Breweries and Aquafina, guests will receive a complimentary Tusker Cider or Aquafina with every signature meal. In addition, Stanbic Bank will offer enjoy an instant cashback discount on payments made via Flexipay at any of the participating restaurants.
“The beauty of Kampala Restaurant Week is it presents an opportunity to try out various restaurants and multiple cuisines served at specially price fixed menus. This includes all-time favorite restaurants as well as new hot spots. Every year we continue to see Kampala’s restaurant scene grow and we believe this is the perfect opportunity to drive traffic to these establishments with the promise of an exciting culinary experience. The week also coincides with the tourism peak, allowing us to showcase Uganda’s hospitality sector and the great tasting food from our bountiful agriculture sector. We intend to continue to market Kampala city as a food destination with a diverse culinary scene,” Isaac added.
