Anna's Corner

Entebbe


In a new location, this wonderful expat institution does wood-fired pizzas and the best coffee in town. Bored with local food? Dig into a Bali burger with mango curry or Thai beef salad. Breakfast is a good bet too. There's also a Congolese craft store, Friday movie nights, Tuesday salsa lessons and regular coffee tastings.
