You guessed right, Mexican cuisine right here in the pearl of Africa, located in Kisimenti next to Acacia mall a lively spot in Kampala. The first thing that comes to mind is the ambiance and happiness of the place but as the reality sets in the portions are smaller than expected but filling. You can get a mean serving of a margarita from this spot with the normal tacos and burritos to boot. The service might not be all that, but the décor comes running in, in first place to save the day. Grab yourself Corona beer there too.

Meza to be precise is the place for Paninis, wraps, burgers and salads. This has a Lebanese heritage to it too and that means Falafel, Kebabs and Shawarmas. Located right outside the main entrance to the Acacia Mall, it’s not known to have the most spacious parking but who goes to a food joint to park a car…..we go to eat and Shawarma we shall. If you are into the Hummus then make sure you get the vinegar and garlic dressing. I almost forgot to mention that the portions are very, very, very adequate and extremely filing so make sure that you carry and extra-large portion of appetite before setting of for Meza.

A quaint eatery with great in house curated coffees and international cuisine with a love for the zucchini, burgers and crisps. Located on Wampewo Avenue just before the Kololo Ceremonial Grounds, you can get yourself some great meals and juices…my favourite is the detox. Brunch is a Prunes specialty, and many customers order it all day long. Especially recommended are the Eggs+3 and the Popeye’s Choice. Do try out the BBQ chicken leg with a serving of potato wedges. The wait is bearable and the waiters/waitresses will make you feel very much at home.

I don't believe in witchcraft but I think Bushpig Backpackers owes us a rational, scientific, explanation for their delicious burgers. Starting with the whole Hog burger. I mean they claim it's just "deliciously slow-cooked seasoned pulled pork with coleslaw and BBQ sauce" but there must be something more to it. Then Pig Out burger.... I swore it was the best burger on their menu, but after The Whole Hog I am not sure what to think any more. It's not everyday that I eat food and feel this guilty... like I have committed a sin. Best Burgers in Town.

There are two sections to this club: a poolside restaurant, and a bar with dancing on the deck. The restaurant has an extensive international menu (you’ll find fish and chips, pizza, and baked Alaska) and is a great spot for an early dinner, where you can watch the dance floor warm up. If you want to eat local, try a curry or tikka masala—Ugandan food is heavily influenced by Indian cuisine.

Club Silk, a sprawling bi-level space, is where to check out Kampala’s dance scene. The club divided into three section: Silk Royale, Silk Lounge, and Silk Oxygen. Even though each section has its own DJ and state-of-the-art sound system, the real difference is that Silk Royale skews a bit younger—think college-aged and younger—and allows smoking (which is notable because most clubs in the city don’t allow it, so it’s good to know before you go).

Kampala’s dry season (July to August and December to February) means dust, and lots of it: Shoes are brushed daily, clothes are stored in plastic, and cars are washed frequently—which is why the multi-tasking Fusion Auto Spa is so popular. You can get your car washed while you drink Ugandan beers like Bell Lager or Eagle Extra, and with two giant screens, it’s also a fantastic venue to watch sports. The bar is set up in a giant brick-paved parking lot (during the day, there’s more car washing and less drinking), with two bars on either side and a mix of lounge seating and tables; even when it’s crowded, there is plenty of room to move around.

Like Shoprite, these two larger supermarket chains sure carry lots of imported favorites! Honestly, they have so many fun import items that, for the sake of time, I’ll just rattle them off: tons of Kelloggs’ cereal options,Hershey’s Syrup in strawberry or caramel, Dorman’s coffee, Nestlé’s Coffee Mate creamer, Ocean Spray cranberry sauce, Lipton tea packets, and American Garden pickled jalapenos. They also have a generous supply of expat-favorite, Nutella! Capital Shoppers is also an incredible liquor store.I had no idea that they had such a wide selection of spirits.
