About Encanto Tapas Bar

Tucked away upstairs just off Sturrock Road in Kololo, Encanto Tapas Bar delivers that easy, breezy rooftop energy that Kampala does so well. Climbing the two flights of stairs brings you up to an open-air space overlooking the city, complete with a laid-back Mediterranean feel, chalk-written menus, and a steady breeze. It is the kind of spot where you can easily lose track of an afternoon watching padel matches nearby or settling in as the sun dips below the skyline.

By the time evening rolls around, the tempo shifts. Thursdays often bring live soul and acoustic energy, while weekends lean heavily into proper rooftop sessions with resident DJs spinning deep house, afro disco, and electronic beats to a lively crowd. The kitchen leans into Spanish and Cuban tapas, making it an easy place to share small plates over drinks. While weekend late nights can get quite packed and buzzing, grabbing a table earlier in the evening lets you properly appreciate the views and the unhurried atmosphere.

Good vibes. Interesting system with a card which is filled in with your orders. Good music, good appetisers but the main dishes are not OK. Pork steaks are dry with no soucees. They should first cook them in the slow cooker and grill ones only after it.

Situated upstairs off the main road. Place was nice and relaxing. The lunch menu is good value for money with a meal and juice. Only two disappointments, one the sandwich for lunch menu was very small the French bread used was over grilled and was very hard. And second disappointment was cost of the beer at 9k for local beer it's almost triple the price. Local beer normal sells for 3.5-4k at restaurants maybe 5k but anything more than this its too expensive.

This one caught me by surprise! I simply hadn't heard about it until now. The restaurant is in a prime location and is easy to access. Not so easy for people with physical challenges, as there are two flights of stairs to navigate. They've got the menu down on a blackboard in chalk - so I assume it varies regularly. The items were in choice appeared limited, but covered the spectrum. The waitress was knowledgeable and helpful in assisting us with making a choice. The beers were ice cold and the food was absolutely delicious! The portion sizes were very small when compared to the price - but I'll still rate them positively given how tasty everything was. The music was lively and energetic, though not so loud that we couldn't talk. The seating was rather iffy - a few high tables outdoor, and terrible pallet options. But the view was mesmerizing and it was fairly pleasant. The waitress was good fun, cheerful and happy. The bartender was courteous. You pay when you leave, and the cashier at the entrance/exit was friendly and cooperative. Please note that losing your order card - even if it's empty - will attract a minimum charge of 150,000ugx (about $40 today). This is NOT a joke. If you don't intend to eat or drink anything, do not pick up a card at the entrance. While a weird system, the advantage is that everyone is able to settle their specific bill on the way out - no struggle to split an invoice! There's no parking, so you'll have to use the public spaces in Kisimenti, or just park in the mall like I always do.

Perfect Mediterranean Atmosphere, the Cuban and Spanish Tapas were excellent, the Staff very friendly and totally professional. It is located on the top where you can enjoy views of the city.

Great food. Everything is delicious. I don't like the card system, but you get used to it eventually. The cocktails, though, my goodness 😳 The mixologist seems to have his own version of everything, and it doesn't taste good at all. Even the most basic ones like a margarita or whiskey sour and even an espresso martini. It's a shame not to be able to enjoy a decent cocktail on such a lovely rooftop.
