3 Best Restaurants in Entebbe, Uganda

A lively choice for Entebbe nights out, and handy for diners en route to the airport for late-night flights, Faze 3 boasts a mind-boggling menu that encompasses a wide range of cuisines: from starters and snacks, light salads, pita pockets, and sandwiches to Continental classics, authentic curries, and meaty feasts served sizzlingly hot on cast-iron skillets. Well-trained staff provide snappy service. Sit on the vast terrace overlooking the lake to enjoy the cool breezes and views. If you're in a large group, it's best to book a table here in advance, especially on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday night and Sunday afternoon, when live music dials up the party vibe.

A cold beer, crisp pizza, and curling your toes in the sand are a few of life's simple pleasures. Enjoy all three simultaneously at Goretti's Beachside Pizzeria, a popular haunt for tourists and locals alike. Diners sit in plastic chairs at tables placed among swaying palms on the tiny strip of beach. The shoreline location makes up for slow and sometimes unenthusiastic service. Because of the views (and the greater possibility of insects after dusk), lunchtime is the best time to appreciate this simple restaurant shack. Grilled meat or fish is available, but wood-fired pizza is what they do best. Just be sure to allow a couple of hours to gaze out over Lake Victoria while availing yourself of their uncomplicated drinks menu: local beers, soft drinks, the usual spirits, and boxed South African wine by the glass. 

Set on the main road in mature gardens, this clever café concept directly supports mountain gorilla conservation. The extensive international-style menu includes coffee, milkshakes, salads, sandwiches, pasta, and burgers. Ugandan NGO Conservation Through Public Health sells their premium coffee here; it's great a gift, This is the perfect spot for learning about gorillas and conservation.
