Despite the city being in shambles down under that now even Nigerians – of all people – have also picked on us, the 360° 7 Hills Revolving Restaurant still gives off that unrivaled view of Kampala, especially if you visit when the sun is about to set.
Despite knowing exactly what is going to happen, the rotation, no matter the number of times you have experienced, it still brings that nostalgic child-like happiness.
Expectedly, for that unique dining adventure, you pay highly in food prices. Mineral water here is five times more expensive than what you are used to, and many starters go for Shs 50,000 and above, while the main meals are priced above Shs 70,000.
My prawns and avocado meal went for Shs 55,000. Worth it? Probably yes, if you consider the eye-candy platters with their descending curves.
The plating was a form of art; you would want to keep the food untouched rather than ‘destroy’ it by eating it. The meal is codenamed; prawns and avocado, and in the hospitality business, this meant more prawns than avocado, but it was the other way round.
Maybe they were actually enough but their tastefulness makes you want more of them. Firstly, they were very well cleaned and deshelled with the vein also properly removed. They were well poached – not undercooked or overcooked to make them too chewy – just finely balanced.
They were oozing calm and mellow flavours, blending so well with tartar sauce which also breathed of homemade freshness and vibes.
They did not have the overly fishy smell, thanks probably to the lemon and vinegar. The coleslaw salad was raw and not too complex, not forgetting the fresh avocados with the Ugandan freshness and natural taste.
This meal could prepare you for your main course or it could just work as your final meal, depending on your pockets and satiety levels.
