The Explorer Italian Bistro
Uganda
The Explorer Italian Bistro brings handmade pasta, wood-fired pizza and risotto to Kampala Serena Hotel. Its menu gives the hotel an informal Italian option alongside the more elaborate dining at The Pearl. Guests can eat indoors or outside beside the water gardens. Timber details, vintage explorer artefacts and soft lighting give the interior a theme that suits the restaurant’s name without overwhelming the food. Desserts complete the selection, making the bistro suitable for a full meal as well as a simpler pasta or pizza lunch. The combination of familiar Italian cooking and garden-facing seating provides a relaxed way to dine within Serena’s grounds.
