    Rwanda Bean @ 1000 hills destillery is a nice outdoor bar/restaurant with a great view! There is a large selection of drinks and if you are hungry there is a small selection of courses. Their signatur dish is a hot rock steak served on a very hot lavastone. It tastes delicious! Great service and a great place for friends having a great time together.

    If you love whiskey and other spirits, this is your place. They also have a decent menu, sell coffee beans and it's a comfy place with lovely views too...in the daytime not at night!

    Located a bit on the outskirts the distillery with its attached bar and restaurant offers a quite tranquil and calm atmosphere with a lovely view over rolling hills. Whereas the drink and cocktail selection is decent, food is more on the BBQ-side. Staff is very welcoming, friendly and creates a warm atmosphere.

    The beef is a good quality but I don't sure to cooking on that volcanic rock is the best way! The service can be improved. nice ambiance with a fireplace in the garden

    Little far from down town. But It's reasonable. Steak visual is so good, but I don't understand price little bit. Cause steak is small that adult to eat. I have good relaxing time there.

    Probably the best steak in Kigali and East Africa. Great cuts served on a hot stone, to be cooked as you fancy. Go for the black pepper and garlic sauces. Fries are perfectly fried, fresh and seasoned, not overly oily. Came twice, standards are consistent. Slightly pricey, but well worth the experience. Go at dinner time for a great view of Kigali, it can get chilly but blankets are provided. Staff are very accomodating to shift around seating for preference. Seating can be rather limited, so come early, or book in advance.

    I went to 1000 hills for dinner on a weekday. I had the steak on hot stone which came with mashed potatoes and a side salad and cost 20,000rwf. It was amazing and the experience of cooking it at your table was lovely. The staff were extremely nice and customer service was excellent. I felt the meal was very worth it and I would go back again. The only thing is it was a bit hard to locate the place as there wasn’t a sign saying 1000 hills.

    Such a beautiful place. The views are amazing. The staff is also great. Our server gave us blankets to cover ourselves as the evening got chilly. The food was also great. Highly recommend this place.

    Our 2 experiences at 1000 hills were great. The view is very nice day and night. Service is great. Food and cocktail are just incredible. Best steak on volcanic rock in town!

    Must visit at night. The cocktails are great. I ordered the guacamole and the vegetarian tacos. Was excellent. One of the best dinners I had in Rwanda. View of Kigali at night is incredible :)

    The location is fantastic. The personell were very nice, polite, professional and service minded. The food I had was very satisfying. The liquor, unfortunately, was far from good. It had a pungent, unpleasant, and long lasting taste of fusel, which clearly indicates problems with the distillation process. I have sympathy for the fact that good distillation is difficult when resources are limited, but frankly, I found it undrinkable. Overall, I really liked the place, and I will definitely recommend going there for a nice meal. I cannot recommend the drinks, however, and I really hope that they will address the problems with their alcohol production in the future.

    Loved the views! Great service and food too

  • 2/5 Alex L. 1 year ago on Google
    Great view. But food was mediocre but pricey. And the ice cream was bad; at least on the day I was served. 2 small scoops for 6000 RwF and the ice cream had really chronic freezer burns with ice crystals all over.

👍👍 Phoenix is my number one choice for an apartment in Kigali. Very clean with all the appliances we needed. There are two restaurants on site that serve delicious meals and a very clean pool downstairs
