The place has a nice vibe & ambience, however the food is overpriced. We ordered a shrimp appetizer, it came with TWO shrimps on top of shredded veggies. TWO shrimps! For 14 dollars!
We ordered steak & duck breast. Can't complain about the steak but the duck breast was so chewy, l couldn't finish my plate.
Friendly service though, l had asked for a good table when booking & they booked the best one for us.

Le Virunga nous permet de faire un merveilleux voyage en Afrique avec des produits de chez nous. La meilleure façon de s'évader le temps d'une soirée. Tout ça avec un sourire charmant de notre serveuse.

Très bonne assiette, à la fois élaborée & subtile. Si la cuisine est l'art du dosage & de l'assemblage, alors Virunga maîtrise sont art ;)
