Chez André
Housed in a huge villa on the eastern extreme of Chaussée Prince Rwagasore, this is one of many contenders for the best restaurant in the city, with a flamboyant menu that wouldn't look out of place in Brussels or Paris. The wine list and desserts are well worth a closer look. There is also a popular health club here if you feel the belt busting after a major meal.

Cercle Nautique
Probably the most famous spot in Bujumbura, the Cercle is one of those colonial-era clubs that remains resolutely popular with expats and locals alike. Set on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, this is a great place to sip a cold beer and watch the sun go down. There is also a good restaurant here serving fresh lake fish and other continental classics. A must when passing through Buj.

Boulangerie-Pâtisserie Trianon
This place is packed out for breakfast thanks to a great combination of fresh croissants, healthy omelettes and local coffee. The ham and cheese croissant washed down with a hot chocolate is a good way to start the day. Solo women should note that the clientele was all male, but it was a friendly atmosphere. Strangely, it's closed at lunchtime.

Kapa
Another colossus on the café scene, this little bakery turns out pastries, sandwiches and some of the best coffee in town. Again it is popular in the morning and afternoons, but closed for lunch. Alright, siestas and all that, but one of the bakeries is missing a market.

Le Kasuku
A little garden oasis in the heart of the city, Kasuku has a hearty range of European dishes, including tender steaks with pepper, red-wine or blue-cheese sauce. The pizzas here are also some of the best in the city.

L'Archipel
This huge restaurant is a popular stop with locals on the hunt for good-value food with good company. Partly set outdoors, at weekends they bring in the DJs, crank up the music and it rocks on all night.
