You don´t have to worry about eating in Uganda. You will always get enough delicious food. Either you prefer the international restaurants or you try the local smaller restaurants. In Kampala you will find restaurants of high standart which are located in firts-class hotels (e.g. Sheraton or Grand Imperial Hotel).

Further restaurants with international food are available (chinese, italian, french, indian and a lot more). Additionally you can (you must!) get aquainted with the regional cooking in the small african restaurants. They often offer an "all you can eat" buffet for lunch, where you can enjoy very typical Ugandan food. Price: Not more than 3-5 EUR. Ask you driver or travel guide for insider tips.

Prices

In first-class restaurants the prices are accordingly. These are not as high as in Europe, but they are still expensive. At a normal restaurant 10 to 15 Euros will suffice. At the small african restaurants a few Euros will do.

The Ugandan Cuisine - delicious and inexpensive

The basic food per se in the ugandan cuisine is the plantain (Matoke), a banana, which tradionally gets steamed wrapped in banana leafs. It is served with different vegetables, meat, fish and/or peanut sauce. All of it very tasty. You also have to try the numerous snacks which are offered at every corner. Recommended are especially Chapati (flat dough-cakes from water and flour) and Samosas, fried dough-pockets filled with meat or vegetables.

There is no lack of beverages: Water, tea, coffee, beer, wine and spirits are on every menu or available in shops.
