The Retreat by Heaven
Fusion Restaurant (at The Retreat)
Fusion - our restaurant at The Retreat - takes culinary traditions from around the globe and Rwandan ingredients and blends them into a single harmonious offer.
Perched beside The Retreat's glorious saltwater pool, rock gardens and native plantings, Fusion is the most elegant spot in Kigali to explore new flavors and experience first-class hospitality. In addition to our a la carte menu, Fusion also offers an exquisite 8 Course tasting menu with wine pairing or a festive Urban Bush Dinner with Rwandan Live Cooking and optional Traditional Dancers for groups of 6+ guests (with advanced reservation).
Heaven Restaurant (next door to The Retreat)
Heaven Restaurant is known as a hospitality training facility and cultural venue serving a unique modern African menu! The owners, Josh and Alissa Ruxin, custom built and opened Heaven in 2008 (1 16 years ago) to offer vocational training and employment for Rwandans to become leaders in hospitality. We have trained over 3,000 Rwandans in culinary and customer service skills and continue to train interns and others with a passion to build a career in hospitality. We are known for our famous guacamole and signature Cassava Leaf Beef Filet and also for our incredible homemade cocktails! We host cultural events from art exhibits to dance performances, we support Made in Rwanda products in our retail areas, and we have our own organic onsite garden!
The Lounge (at The Retreat)
The Lounge offers all Retreat guests a lovely new space for sundowners and bites, with fireplace, cozy seating, local decor and an expansive outdoor deck!
For small groups (6+), our team may organize an Urban Bush Dinner with live cooking and traditional dancers under the stars!
On special request, we may also setup a private dining experience on The Lounge deck.
