Munyonyo · Lake Victoria
Welcome to
Lakeside dining & hangout in Munyonyo
Named after the jahazi — the graceful wooden sailing boats of East Africa's waters — Jahazi Pier sits right on the shore of Lake Victoria, a short drive from the heart of Kampala. It is where the city slows down.
Come for the lake breeze and fresh fish off the grill, stay for cold drinks on the deck, boat rides, lazy afternoons on the lawn and weekend nights of live music beneath the string lights.
Fresh from the lake, fired on the coals
The Kitchen
Whole Lake Victoria tilapia charred over open coals, goat muchomo, sticky pork ribs and generous platters made for sharing — honest food cooked within sight of the water it came from.
Pair it with kachumbari, roasted gonja or hand-cut chips, and take your time. Nobody rushes at the pier.
The Bar
Ice-cold local beers, ciders and signature cocktails poured on the deck as the sun sinks into the lake. Start with a Jahazi Sunset and stay for the stars.
On Saturdays the bar keeps going until midnight, with DJs and live sets on selected weekends.
