There was a time when any mention of dining in Rwanda conjured up images of Matooke (steamed green bananas), Isombe (mashed cassava leaves), Ubugali (a paste made from cassava flour and water).

All that has changed. Nowadays, the country offers a glorious choice of dining options, from French haute cuisine, Italian, Mexican to Indian cuisine.
