The fifth edition of Kampala’s biggest restaurant showcase concluded with a lavish awards ceremony that saw Speke Apartments’ La Cabana restaurant winning the biggest award of the night.

La Cabana Restaurant walked away with the most desired accolade and the Top Signature Restaurant for the second year running after winning it last year as well.

This year’s 10-day food showcase that ran from August 1-10 was dubbed the ‘Three-Course Edition’ with restaurants offering starters, main course signature dishes, and desserts. The meals were washed down with a complimentary Tusker Lite.

Towards the end of the awarding ceremony, the best two restaurants were put to test in a ten-minute cookoff and Olives restaurant beat La’ Cabana to it.
