This 2nd-storey open-air cafe with comfortable divans provides respite from dusty Kabale. A curbside blackboard announces the daily specials, though your meal still might take over an hour to assemble. Mains such as coconut curry and whole fried fish are served with rice or chapatis. There's also all-day breakfast: a faster option.
