About

Bicu – Where Soul Meets Taste

Tucked in the heart of Kimihurura, Bicu Lounge is more than a restaurant, it's a curated experience. We blend Swahili and continental cuisine, intimate live music, and Kigali's creative energy to bring people together.

A fusion of natural elements and striking aesthetics, Bicu captures the essence of a perfect night out, delicious food, exceptional cocktails, and soulful ambiance.

Inspired by the Kinyarwanda word "Ibicu" meaning clouds, Bicu seeks to create an experience that feels beyond the clouds.

Whether you're here for a laid-back or show-stopping brunch, a cocktail during happy hour, Trivia Night, our famous Karaoke, or a night of smooth R&B and live grooves, Bicu is where Kigali comes to feel, connect, and vibe.

Curated menus.
Live sounds.
Good people, always.

Welcome to Bicu, your place to unwind, be seen, and be soulful.
