Fusion Restaurant
Rwanda
Fusion sits beside the pool at Hemingways Retreat Kigali, the property formerly known as The Retreat by Heaven. Its open-air pavilion provides a setting for cooking that brings Rwandan ingredients together with international influences. Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Asian techniques inform the menu, while relationships with local farmers keep the sourcing close to home. The on-site organic garden supplies herbs and lettuce, giving the kitchen a direct connection with some of the ingredients on the plate. The restaurant's programme extends beyond conventional meals to cooking classes, cocktail demonstrations and a traditional banana-wine workshop. These experiences offer a more practical way to explore Rwanda's food culture during a stay in the city. Fusion can serve as a dedicated dinner destination or a central part of a visit to the retreat. Its strongest distinction is the combination of garden produce, global culinary influences and a poolside setting that allows an evening meal to unfold at an unhurried pace.
