Restaurant Review

I was greeted by the waiter with a warm friendly smile – he led me to the table I had reserved and he immediately took my drinks orders. He was quick enough with the drinks but he didn’t have a bottle opener with him so we had to wait until he returned with the opener before I could enjoy my drink.

My friends arrived and they ordered their drinks. The waiter came over and presented us with the Menu and then he took our orders. We each ordered different starters which consisted of Fish soup with ginger, Fish fingers with tartar sauce, and chicken and mushroom cream soup. Prices for the starters ranged between 2500Frw to 3500Frw. The starters were spicy, flavourful and the portions big.

Ferdy, the General Manager helped us go through the menu as most of the dishes on offer were written in French. We ordered a variety of different dishes again so that we could all share and taste the different dishes on offer. The main courses consisted of Southern-fried Chicken with creamy gravy, Grilled pork with onions and mustard, and Fish fillet with fresh yogurt sauce. The main courses were served with a variety of side dishes like Matooke chips (Plantain), steamed rice, and potato chips with mixed steamed vegetables – we ordered a bottle of red wine with our meals.
The food is extremely tasty and the portions are large. The main meal prices are reasonably priced and range between 7000Frw to 8000Frw and each glass of wine is 2500frw. They also serve a Buffet for 10,000Frw which is available at Lunchtimes.

For dessert, l ordered a cappuccino while my friend went for the Mixed Country fruits with Ice cream. The coffee was great and all my colleagues enjoyed their fruits and ice cream. Dessert prices range between 2000Frw to 2500Frw.

Royale Villas is a high-end restaurant in terms of eating out but their food is good, tasty, and well worth visiting. The place is clean and well maintained.

It’s worth mentioning that when you place your orders, it would be useful to know a bit of French or a little Kinyarwanda to ensure that you get what you ordered. It is also advisable to carry a jacket or shawl with you as it can get quite cold if you decide to book a table at the poolside. If you are in a hurry then Royale Villas may not be the ideal place for you to eat at as the food takes a long time to come out of the kitchen – on the other hand though, if you have the time, then it is definitely worth the wait. The bar is well stocked with a wide selection of soft drinks and spirits.
Royale Villas also have a carnival night every last Friday of the month with live entertainment.
