Our Story
From a family plot to Kampala's garden table
Pio Restaurant and Garden began as three acres of jasmine, avocado, and jackfruit trees planted by the founding family in the early 2010s. What started as a weekend gathering spot for relatives grew, one referral at a time, into one of Muyenga's most-booked venues.
Today the same family runs the kitchen and the grounds — which is why the menu still leans on whatever the garden is producing that week, and why every event is walked through personally before a single chair is placed.
The name "Pio" honours the founder's late grandfather, Pio Ssebugwawo, whose love for cultivating the land inspired every tree, every path, and every meal that comes out of this kitchen.
