The story

Kampala Restaurant Week in Kampala

Kampala Restaurant Week is a ten-day culinary event in which around 30 of the city's top restaurants offer specially priced signature meals, discounts, and creative menus. Running July 3-13 in its 2025 edition, it is sponsored by Stanbic Flexipay and Tusker Cider, includes a digital diner rewards passport, and drew over 10,000 diners across participating venues that year.

Kampala Restaurant Week adapts a promotional format used in cities around the world, where participating restaurants agree to offer a specially priced menu for a set period, to Uganda's capital.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Kampala Restaurant Week functions as a coordinated citywide discount and discovery event rather than a single-venue festival: roughly 30 restaurants, from established names like Mediterraneo and The Lawns to newer spots such as Orexi and Brisk, each design a discounted signature meal for the ten-day window, priced individually per restaurant, such as UGX 30,000-40,000 in 2025

02

The mystery stays covered

A digital KRW Foodie Passport lets diners check in at each stop to win dining vouchers worth up to UGX 70,000, and diners get a complimentary Tusker Cider or Coca-Cola with each signature meal plus instant cashback for paying through Stanbic's Flexipay

03

The city starts moving

Organizers and coverage frame the week as a driver of East Africa's food and beverage economy, positioning Kampala as an emerging culinary-tourism hub
